Ivanka Trump suggested Planned Parenthood split in two: report

By Mallory Shelbourne - 05/02/17 08:52 AM EDT

First daughter Ivanka Trump suggested that Planned Parenthood split off their abortion services into a separate entity, according to The New York Times. (1)

Trump reportedly recommended to Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards that the organization split into one smaller faction providing abortion services and another for all other health services.

Officials with Planned Parenthood called the suggested “naïve,” the report said.

Ivanka Trump’s West Wing Agenda

....
Ms. Trump, 35, a former model, entrepreneur and hotel developer, says she will focus on gender inequality in the United States and abroad, by aiming to create a federal paid leave program, more affordable child care and a global fund for women who are entrepreneurs, among other efforts. Her interest in gender issues grew out of a “Women Who Work” hashtag and marketing campaign she devised a few years ago to help sell $99 pumps and $150 dresses. On Tuesday, the career advice book she worked on before the election, whose title echoes her hashtag, will be published.

By inserting herself into a scalding set of gender dynamics, she is becoming a proxy for dashed dreams of a female presidency and the debate about President Trump’s record of conduct toward women and his views on them. Critics see her efforts as a brash feat of Trump promotion — an unsatisfying answer to the 2005 “Access Hollywood” recording that surfaced during the campaign and the seas of pink, cat-eared “pussy hats” worn by protesters after the inauguration — by a woman of extraordinary privilege who has learned that feminism makes for potent branding. (Ms. Trump is not promoting her book for ethics reasons.)

Women, after all, are just a bunch of parts: breasts, thighs, rumps, etc.

So, why should we think of "medical care" as care for a whole person?

Yes, let's add legal and financial costs to all businesses who do something
that someone doesn't agree with.

Separate rooms, buildings, entrances? Is it a ploy to gain access to the
examining rooms for right-to-life protestors?

i.e. stop catering to the nutjob phony xtians, she goes along with their basic premise re abortion and PP, and proposes a course of action that aligns with the nuttery.

Way to promote the interests of women (not)!

No one elected this woman, or wants to hear her vapid opinions. Stick to being daddy's babysitter and stop trying to formulate policy.

Why would anyone "split off" services? Family Planning involves multiple types of counseling and includes medical screenings in order to make carefully thought-out decisions to help reach and maintain a full and productive life for all members.

Rock-head thinks people are as dumb as she is and would say "Okay - we'll do that!!1!!!!!11" so the Christo-fascists can eagerly and explicitly cut off the funding for one service.

As soon as women can divide their body into 2 segments Biatch. Would your reasoning be to make it easier to discriminate against women -- NO? Then why should it split? Deal with the whole woman, just as you treat a "whole" man. Your party, collectively, is a gigantic POS.

This is your great brain at work AGAIN. Go sit down somewhere and STFU. Do me a great favor and STOP fighting for women's rights -- you're not qualified .

Me thinks Ivanka should be home raising those two little children of hers and stay out of public policies. I'm sure there exist lots of parents who would enjoy raising the kids instead of using daycare centers, or for her nannys.

Yeah, this is a bit nasty however when you stick your nose where you shouldn't, then we get to play the same game.
