Talk:Planned Parenthood

Not even mentioning the bias of Americans having access to this whole claiming they're a worldwide organization

Just seems dishonest 2604:3D09:D78:1000:B033:91C3:1448:A9B4 (talk) 02:16, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk-pages are for making concrete proposals for improvement, not for general discussion of the topic of the article. (But also you seem very confused, maybe you should read the article.) --JBL (talk) 17:59, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

International Affiliation

Based on the first paragraph, I think the International Planned Parenthood Federation should be mentioned in the Infobox. GamerKlim9716 (talk) 19:42, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Recent reversions

@Noleander: Since you are familiar with the sources in the paragraph you added; maybe you could merge the two paragraphs, please. Thanks! ---Avatar317^(talk) 21:20, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

Yes, I'd be happy to. Noleander (talk) 22:28, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

@Noleander: Please go ahead. (The broken notes seem to have been fixed by someone else in the interim.) --JBL (talk) 00:06, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

I removed the sentence (added by me several days ago) that was duplicative of a sentence that was already in the article. Let me know if there are any other issues with the text I added. Noleander (talk) 01:08, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

I removed the other sentence I thought was duplicative. Hopefully it reads better and more concisely now. ---Avatar317^(talk) 23:41, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

The end result looks good to me. --JBL (talk) 17:32, 19 January 2025 (UTC)

List of presidents - for the record

I've been working on the Margaret Sanger article, and I tried to compile a chronological list of presidents Planned Parenthood & its predecessor organizations. The sources are not real clear, but I was able to cobble-togther the info below. One good source is https://sanger.hosting.nyu.edu/images/publications/SmithGuide.pdf Anyway, for the record, here is what I came up with:

• Voluntary Parenthood League (VPL)
  • 1919 - 1925 Mary Dennett
• American Birth Control League (ABCL)
  • 1921 - 1928 Margaret Sanger
  • 1928 – 1934 Eleanor Dwight Robertson Jones
  • 1934 – 1936 Catherine Clement Bangs
  • 1936 – 1939 C. C. Little
• After merger of ABCL & Birth Control Clinical Research Bureau into Birth Control Federation of America (BCFA)
  • 1939 - 1942 Richard N. Pierson
  • 1942 - 1950? (BCFA renamed to Planned Parenthood in 1942 ) D. Kenneth Rose
  • 1950 - 1953 Eleanor Bellows Pillsbury
  • 1962 - 1974 Alan Frank Guttmacher
  • 1974 - 1978 ??
  • 1978 – 1992 Faye Wattleton
  • 1992 - 2005, Gloria Feldt
  • February 2006 – April 2018 Cecile Richards
  • 2018 – July 16, 2019 Leana Wen

Like I said, I'm not 100% sure about the dates & details, but it is close. The Category:Presidents of Planned Parenthood probably needs to be updated to some extent. Noleander (talk) 18:08, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

Live Action Videos

the phrase: " while one who said they would immerse a child born alive after a botched abortion --" is awkward, and I propose the following, instead, for better clarity:

"while an unidentified staff member in one video said they would immerse a child born alive after a botched abortion --" OwlParty (talk) 02:55, 11 November 2025 (UTC)

I read the source but I don't see that it mentions Planned Parenthood as the employer... It just says a family planning clinic. Can you provide a source that says it was a Planned Parenthood employee that made the "immerse" statement? Unless a reliable source says it was a Planned Parenthood employee who made the statement it should be removed from this article. On the other hand the sources do indicate that the statement about prostitution was made by a Planned Parenthood employee, so that one can remain. Noleander (talk) 05:10, 11 November 2025 (UTC)

Seeing no reply, I removed that sentence. If anyone want to re-add it, please discuss here first, and supply an unbiased, reliable source that explicitly names Planned Parenthood. Noleander (talk) 20:07, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
