Cecile Richards, the CEO of abortion giant Planned Parenthood, is not O.K. with pro-life Democratic candidates.
This past Monday, Chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Rep. Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.) told The Hill that his organization would fund pro-life candidates for the upcoming 2018 election. Unsurprisingly, this prompted an overwrought reaction from many pro-abortion liberals.
Richards through in her two cents, as well, tweeting:
Women’s health & rights are non-negotiable - incl. access to safe, legal abortion. We’ll hold any politician who says otherwise accountable.

Then, Richards tweeted this message to politicians who do not support abortion:
The future is female. It’s time for politicians to listen to women. They have three options: Lead, follow, or get out of the way.

Woah. That is pretty vicious, even for the CEO of the largest abortion provider in the United States.
According to a recent Pew Research poll, around 22 percent of registered Democrats believe that abortion should be illegal in all or most cases. So, basically, Richards just told a full one-fifth of her party to "get out of the way." Nice.
