Cecile Richards: Women Need Access to Affordable Heath Care

EXCERPT:

RICHARDS: "It’s really important to understand as -- as Senator Murkowski says we’re not in the federal budget. That’s a misnomer. So there’s no defunding. Actually what it is is that we get reimbursed just like hospitals and other health care providers for providing preventative health services. And in a state like Alaska or Maine, I mean, frankly all over the country, women need access to affordable health care and that’s -- that's what Planned Parenthood represents."
