Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards explained how the abortion giant’s business model works in a Monday interview, unveiling the various ways the company seeks to further its business activities.

Richards encouraged pro-abortion civilians to come up with and act on their own creative ideas. She referred to the numerous Planned Parenthood products on Etsy like T-shirts, candles, buttons, and hats that advertise the abortion organization’s activities.

“Don’t wait for instructions. Just do it, whatever it is you’re going to do,” Richards told FastCompany in an interview. “It’s going to be everybody doing their part.”

Richards also touted the abortion organization’s text-chat service, which allows young pregnant girls in distress to text Planned Parenthood in order to ask for advice regarding their situation.

“Talk, listen and learn” is their motto, Richards said. She recounted texts from a teen telling the abortion giant that it has been “a lifesaver,” and then asking, “will you still be there later tonight if I need you?” Richards pointed to the texts as an example of Planned Parenthood’s always-available immediate abortion services.

“Invest in people,” Richards insists is one of the organization’s most important pursuits. “At Planned Parenthood, we invest in thousands of young people by getting them trained to be public speakers and advocates. That is probably the most important mark I hope to leave on Planned Parenthood: having a whole new generation of leaders come after,” Richards added.

Former Planned Parenthood manager Ramona Trevino sees the abortion organization’s “investments” a little differently.

“[Teens] are being groomed as future abortion patients because Planned Parenthood promotes a promiscuous lifestyle,” Trevino recently told TheDCNF in an exclusive interview.

“We’re not discouraging them from having sex at a young age. We have monthly quotas to meet. They’re just numbers,” she said. Trevino worked as the manager of a Planned Parenthood abortion referral facility in Sherman, Texas, for three years before leaving in 2011.
