Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards thanked Donald Trump’s “kind words” during a Wednesday interview with MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell.

“Well, this is one thing I agree with Donald Trump on,” Richards said of Trump’s statement that Planned Parenthood doing “good work” for women’s health. “Planned Parenthood does amazing work for two and a half million patients every single year.”

Still, Richards noted it’s “disturbing that Donald Trump – as well as Senators Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio — has said that if they’re president, they’d end women’s access to women’s family planning, cancer screenings and basic, affordable healthcare as well as overturning the Affordable Care Act, which is now covering family planning and preventive care for 55 million women.”

“That’s what’s at stake here.”
