Cecile Richards: A Democrat Supports Abortion

August 03, 2017

The head of the nation’s biggest abortion company is not very happy that Democrats are considering supporting candidates who are pro-life. Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards essentially says that you can’t be a Democrat if you don’t support abortion and that the Democratic Party should not support any candidate who opposes abortion.

In an interview with The Hill published Monday, Rep. Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.), chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, said there would be no abortion “litmus test” and that the party would not withhold funding from pro-life candidates.

Richards lashed out at the pro-abortion politician on Twitter.

“Women’s health & rights are non-negotiable – incl. access to safe, legal abortion. We’ll hold any politician who says otherwise accountable, ” she wrote. “Trading away women’s health and rights will just alienate one of the most powerful political forces in this country. Access to safe, legal abortion is central to women’s economic empowerment and bodily autonomy.”

“Most of America agrees: 7 in 10 Americans support Roe v. Wade. Access to abortion has more support than any political party in the country, ” Richards falsely claimed — despite polling data to the contrary showing a majority of Americans are pro-life.
