Hey everyone. I'm Jonathan Cape Heart and welcome to Cape Up.

Cecile Richards is here. The president of Planned Parenthood talks about it all. What

defunding Planned Parenthood really means, the possible impact of Trump care

on Americans, the incessant fights with Congress over her organization's work.

I believe if more members of Congress could get pregnant,

we wouldn't be having these kinds of fights.

Listen in as Richards talks about whether she'd run for office

and her fascination with videos of goats and sweaters.

Here for yourself right now.

Seale Richards, thank you very much for being on the podcast.

Absolutely, glad to be here.

Like face to face.

This is terrific. All right, so before we get into Trump

care and repeal Obamacare and all of that stuff, I got to talk to you about all these moves to quote unquote defund Planned Parenthood.

And whenever I hear that line, it makes me think that there is some line item in the federal budget that says cash for Planned Parenthood.

Does such a thing exist?

No, absolutely not.

So glad you asked.

It's not like there's a big publisher's clearinghouse check that gets delivered to our office every year.

Right.

No, in fact, Planned Parenthood operates just like every other hospital and health care provider,

particularly that participate in the Medicaid program.
