The president of Planned Parenthood has repeatedly spread a false claim about "thousands" of women who died due to a lack of safe abortion access before the Roe v. Wade decision, the Washington Post reported Wednesday. Wen made the same claims in prior months in a radio interview and on Twitter. Pro-life advocates say this vindicated them, many of whom have claimed Planned Parenthood from its inception uses lies to deceive women and teens, using them as a commodity to make profits. Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life of America, said: "Even the Washington Post is admitting what we've been saying for decades." Planned Parenthood responded to the Post by arguing "stigma, fear, and poor tracking mean we can never know the exact number who suffered before Roe vs. Wade was decided."
