Now who is it that doesn't believe in science

She apparently wasn't 'trans-inclusive' enough for some people

Both the pro-life and pro-abortion movements are abuzz over the surprise ouster of Planned Parenthood chief Leana Wen on Tuesday afternoon.
While Wen's initial statement said that the board booted her in a secret meeting over "philosophical differences," it appears that those differences go farther than the politics-versus-health care disagreement that was initially reported; according to a report at BuzzFeed News, the differences also had to do with whether or not men can get pregnant.
The report cites two sources who say that Wen refused to use "trans-inclusive" language when talking about abortion and other services, like saying "people" rather than "women." She also reportedly told people at the organization that she worried that pushing transgenderism on top of the organization's message would "isolate people in the midwest."
Wen also had a habit of holding secret meetings and keeping her public messaging strategy from longtime Planned Parenthood employees, which is why so many left when she came aboard, the story adds.
