Ivankasplaining: Ivanka Trump told Planned Parenthood boss she should split organization in two [View all]

Ivankasplaining
It of course doesn't occur to her that people who have worked on specific issues forever have probably thought about and considered every passing random thought that floats through her melon.




First Daughter Ivanka Trump reportedly told Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards to recommend splitting her own organization in two so that its abortion services would be separate from its health services.

According to a report in the New York Times, Ivanka Trump earlier this year suggested that Planned Parenthood have “a smaller arm to provide abortions and a larger one devoted to women’s health services.”

Richards balked at this proposal, however, because abortion services are part of women’s health services, and thus shouldn’t be separated.

“Planned Parenthood officials thought Ms. Trump’s advice was naive, failing to understand how central reproductive choice was to the group’s mission,” the Times reports.
