Former Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards at DNC: Abortion Makes Women ‘Unstoppable’

Cecile Richards, the former president of Planned Parenthood, said during a speech at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago on Wednesday night that women are “unstoppable” when they are able to have their unborn babies aborted.

“When women are free to make their own decisions about their lives and follow our dreams, we are unstoppable. But when Roe v. Wade was overturned, a generation of young people lost that freedom,” claimed Richards, who was president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America and of Planned Parenthood Action Fund from 2006 to 2018.

Richards then mourned the existence of a baby who was born to a 12-year-old rape survivor in Mississippi — a baby whom she appeared to suggest should have been aborted — while celebrating the birth of her own grandchild.

“Like Ashley, a 12-year-old rape survivor in Mississippi. Because of her state’s abortion ban, she started seventh grade with a newborn. That’s the Republican promise of state’s rights,” Richards said.

“Last year, I became a grandmother. And during my daughter’s pregnancy, nothing mattered more to me than her health. Politics should never stand in the way of anyone’s healthcare or prevent any family from experiencing the joy my grandson Teddy has brought to my life,” she continued, before calling for the election of Kamala Harris, who has refused to cite any abortion restrictions she supports.

Cecile Richards was on stage at the DNC talking about the joy of having grandchildren.

It's nice that they got to live. How many millions didn't because of heartlessness and pro-abortion barbarism?
