Planned Parenthood President Resigns

NEW YORK — The President of Planned Parenthood Federation of America reportedly resigned Friday after failing to muster a vote of confidence at a board meeting.
Pamela J. Maraldo, who succeeded Faye Wattleton as president two years ago, has not officially announced her departure, nor named a successor, the New York Times said in today’s editions.
Sources told the newspaper that Maraldo had aroused internal opposition with her emphasis on reshaping Planned Parenthood into a broad health organization that could compete in the era of managed care--a focus that some of the group’s affiliates felt would inevitably diminish their role as advocates for abortion rights and women’s access to health care.
