In an interview with Rolling Stone, Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards addressed President-elect Donald Trump’s plan to defund the organization, which has largely been seen as an attack on women’s rights, and said the organization is not going down without a fight.
“Some of our states have been under attack for a long, long time. So they know how to fight back,” Richards said. “We’ve been around for 100 years and we aren’t going anywhere.”
According to its website, one in five women in the country have visited at least one of Planned Parenthood’s estimated 650 centers. Planned Parenthood sees about 2.5 million men and women a year.
