Recently, Operation Rescue noted that multiple staffers implicated in the harvesting and trafficking of aborted baby body parts<\/a> at Planned Parenthood had left the corporation. And Planned Parenthood’s list of defectors is growing as two more staff leaders announce plans to exit the corporation which calls abortion its “core mission.”<\/a> The news\u00a0follows<\/a> the resignation of highly political<\/a>\u00a0president Cecile Richards in 2018 as well as the resignations of other high ranking employees<\/a> who recently left<\/a>\u00a0their positions.\u00a0Richards was replaced by\u00a0Dr. Leana Wen<\/a>, an emergency room physician — not an abortionist.\u00a0The taxpayer-funded corporation is suffering from a serious image problem due to its numerous\u00a0scandals, abuses and fraud<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to Buzzfeed<\/a>, the latest defectors are Deirdre Schifeling — executive director of Planned Parenthood Action Fund (PPACT), the organization’s political arm — and\u00a0Wendi Wallace<\/a>, director of political outreach. Anonymous operatives told\u00a0Buzzfeed<\/a>\u00a0that “Schifeling and Wallace\u2019s departures…came as a hit to the political infrastructure that Richards helped build in her decade long tenure as president.”<\/p>\n

An online bio<\/a>\u00a0shows Wallace managed Planned Parenthood’s Federal PAC and Committee and provided candidates with Planned Parenthood messaging. Wallace’s LinkedIn page<\/a> reveals she left in January to become the “Deputy Executive Director at Democratic Governors Association.” Speaking on behalf of Planned Parenthood at the 2018 Women’s March,<\/a> Wallace mentioned the #MeToo and the #TimesUp movement, but avoided apologizing for the abortion corporation’s complicity<\/a> in their own cover-up of child sexual abuse.<\/p>\n

Schifeling\u00a0joined the abortion corporation in 2010 after working with the Democratic caucus in the New York State Senate.\u00a0She is a political organizer, who once called Planned Parenthood’s move towards creating “<\/b>political power<\/a>” one of necessity, according to a report<\/a> published by American Prospect. The media outlet described\u00a0Schifeling’s work with Planned Parenthood as, “Using staff members\u2019 experience in union organizing and community organizing, they created a training program called Path to Power that remains today the foundation for all Planned Parenthood trainings.”<\/p>\n

Schifeling’s past mirrors that of former CEO\u00a0Cecile Richards<\/a>, who once vowed<\/a> to make the abortion corporation “the largest kick butt political organization<\/a>.” Planned Parenthood receives half a billion in taxpayer dollars annually from what has been dubbed a “political\u00a0money laundering scheme<\/a>.” The corporation’s political action committees direct dollars to elect pro-abortion politicians, mostly Democrats, who make certain that Planned Parenthood continues to receive government money.<\/p>\n
