Cecile Richards: Jared Kushner Wanted P. Parenthood to Discontinue Abortion Services in Exchange for Funding

EXCERPT:

RICHARDS: "I was really there to talk to them about the incredible important work of what Planned Parenthood does. I talk about this in my book, about, I’ll go anywhere to talk to folks about the important work of Planned Parenthood. And of course we do need to be able to see people with federal funding. And again, it doesn't go fro abortion, it goes for breast cancer screenings and birth control. But what Jared Kushner said to me is, if I can get a headline that says Planned Parenthood discontinues abortion services I could probably guarantee your funding. I said we will never do that, we will never abandon women. We provide the full range of reproductive health care to women in this country and we’re proud to do so."
