# Talk:Planned Parenthood

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)

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)

@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)

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)

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)
