Cecile Richards Of Planned Parenthood: Election Shows GOP Should Embrace Family-Planning Roots

"Back in the olden days, the Republican Party was the party that supported people's individual rights and keeping government out of personal health care decisions, so I think there's a history they can go back to," Richards told The Huffington Post in an interview on Wednesday. "A lot of Republicans used to support family planning, and Richard Nixon signed that first federal planning program into law. There's a clear pathway to [win back women's support], and it's to listen to the middle of their party instead of the extreme fringe."
