The Center had as its champion Alan F. Guttmacher, the prestigious obstetrician\/gynecologist\/educator who served as PPFA president for more than ten years until his death in 1974. By 1977, the Center was renamed the Alan Guttmacher Institute (AGI) in Dr. Guttmacher&#8217;s honor and incorporated as an independent non-profit organization with its own Board of Directors<strong>, distinct from PPFA. But its mission and goals remain the same since its founding<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Distinct&#8221; from Planned Parenthood \u2013 yet its mission and goals are the same as they were while still a part of Planned Parenthood?<\/p>\n<p>Rarely does today&#8217;s news media mention the Guttmacher Institute\u2019s connections to Planned Parenthood, nor that their mission is exactly the same. In fact, the media refers to the Guttmacher Institute as nondescriptly as:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-usa-plannedparenthood-idUSKBN0UM1CK20160108\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1<\/a>). a non-profit that focuses on reproductive health.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2015\/06\/22\/opinion\/republicans-take-aim-at-poor-women.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2<\/a>). a research organization.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/2016\/02\/02\/zika-highlights-lack-access-contraception-abortion-latin-america\/79640840\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">3<\/a>). a U.S.-based non-profit that researches family planning.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/1995\/12\/27\/us\/fears-suits-and-regulations-stall-contraceptive-advances.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">4<\/a>). a New York-based nonprofit organization that does research on reproductive issues and is a strong advocate of family planning.<\/p>\n<p>But years ago, the media was much more honest about the connection between Guttmacher\u00a0and\u00a0Planned Parenthood. In 1975, Guttmacher was referred to by several media outlets as a &#8220;division of Planned Parenthood&#8221; &#8211; which was true, at the time&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-90409 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liveactionnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/guttmacher-1975-2.jpg\" alt=\"guttmacher-1975-2\" width=\"248\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/guttmacher-1975-2.jpg 248w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/guttmacher-1975-2-186x300.jpg 186w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 248px) 100vw, 248px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-90408\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liveactionnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/guttmacher-1975-1-242x300.jpg\" alt=\"guttmacher-1975-1\" width=\"242\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/guttmacher-1975-1-242x300.jpg 242w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/guttmacher-1975-1.jpg 248w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 242px) 100vw, 242px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But in the same year that Guttmacher was said to have become &#8220;independent&#8221;
