Planned Parenthood president slams Liz Cheney over Roe v. Wade tweet: 'This is not about states'

rights, this is about power and control

The president of Planned Parenthood slammed a tweet from GOP Rep. Liz Cheney following the Supreme Court's ruling overturning Roe v. Wade.

In a Saturday interview with CNN's "Erin Burnett's OutFront," Planned Parenthood CEO Alexis McGill Johnson criticized Cheney's declaration that the ruling "returns power to the states and the people of the states to address the issue of abortion under state law."




"We should not live in a country where some states we are free and equal and some states we are not,'' Johnson told Burnett. "That is why we need the federal protection."

In many states, clinics have already begun canceling abortion appointments, and some clinics have closed down entirely. Some legal experts have even warned that people's rights to contraceptives could be next.
