Former Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards says state abortion restrictions ‘fly in the face’ of Roe v. Wade
“Through Her Eyes” is a weekly show hosted by human rights activist Zainab Salbi that explores contemporary news issues from a female perspective. You can watch the full episode of “Through Her Eyes” every Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET on Roku.
On Wednesday, Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey signed into law the most restrictive abortion bill in the United States. It includes a near total ban on abortions, allows for no exceptions for victims of rape and incest, and would punish doctors who perform the procedure with life in prison. On Thursday, Richards joined thousands of women who shared their abortion stories on Twitter using the hashtag #YouKnowMe. “I had an abortion,” Richards wrote. “It was the right decision for me, and it wasn't a hard one. My husband and I were working more than full time and had three kids already. I was fortunate that, at the time, accessing abortion in TX was not the nightmare it is now.”
In a May 13 interview with the Yahoo News show “Through Her Eyes,” Richards expressed concern that state legislatures were challenging the legal right to have an abortion, which was established in 1973 through the Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade. “Many states now are essentially assuming with the confirmation of Judge Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court that it will be a state-by-state decision whether abortion remains safe and legal in the U.S.,” she said.
