Kathleen Turner Speaks on Reproductive Rights

Washington, DC
Thursday, September 6, 2012

Actress Kathleen Turner said women are facing the biggest threat to their freedom this election cycle in an address at the National Press Club. Turner serves as the chairman of Planned Parenthood’s Board of Advocates. 

In remarks, she said family planning is not the only thing at stake, but also access to health care for women, particularly low-income women, since states now are not required to participate in Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Health Care Act which Mitt Romney promised to eliminate.
