President of Planned Parenthood Cecile Richards on How We Need More Women in Office

January 25th 2018


Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood, says that more women in Congress would lead to better reproductive healthcare and family planning. Women make up less than 20% of the U.S. Reps. and 22% of the senate. Women’s reproductive rights have come under attack by politicians who do not empathize, spurring more women than ever to run for office.
