Cecile Richards Says Jared and Ivanka Offered ‘Bribe’ for Planned Parenthood to Stop Performing Abortions

Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards is accusing Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump of offering what she says felt like a "bribe," in return for the women's health organization to stop performing abortions.

PEOPLE magazine reports Richards was leery but felt she owed it to her organization's patients to meet with the couple, which she did in January of 2017. In her new book she says, "Kushner told her Planned Parenthood 'had made a big mistake by becoming ‘political.’ " "

“The main issue, he explained, was abortion,” Richards writes. “If Planned Parenthood wanted to keep our federal funding, we would have to stop providing abortions. He described his ideal outcome: a national headline reading ‘Planned Parenthood Discontinues Abortion Services.'”

Kushner said that if Richards agreed to the plan then funding could increase, but he urged them to “move fast.”

Richards says in her book, Make Trouble, “If it wasn’t crystal clear before, it was now. Jared and Ivanka were there for one reason: to deliver a political win,” she wrote. ...............

1. I would love to know how many abortions

the tRumps, their wives, kids, girlfriends, etc have had throughout their lifetimes. This was purely political not a moral issue with them. They have no morals.

The book is all about being an activist and how to go about getting things changed. I am sure that with today's series of activist events and atmosphere it will be read by many and applied to more protests, especially the younger, newer activists!
