Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood, was on the campaign trail supporting Hillary Clinton at the Iowa for Hillary Ames office Saturday.

The office in Ames was packed with more than 150 people in attendance for Richards, who has publicly backed Clinton. Planned Parenthood also endorsed Clinton in the Democratic primary for president.

“I can’t wait until we have a president that can turn this country around and understand that health care is a basic human right, and I believe that person is Hillary Clinton,” Richards said.

Richards also explained how “every single Republican candidate has pledged to end access to Planned Parenthood”.

She also explained how this election is a pivotal point in our nation’s history and that it is about everyone.

“It’ll be so critical to have a champion to make health care affordable,” Richards said, adding that Clinton would be the best at doing so.

“What makes the comiittee believe she is the best choice is that she fundamentally understands and puts things into priority,” Richards said.

Richards spoke to the nearly 37,000 people in Iowa alone that take advantage of Planned Parenthood. She also told the sad truth in Texas, where women drive hours to find access to Planned Parenthood.

“I think that if there were ever a cautionary tale of what is at stake, it is Texas,” Richards said.

With just over a week until the Iowa Caucus, Richard said it was important for volunteers to continue working on behalf of Clinton.

“I don’t want to hold you very long because I know we have doors to knock on and phone calls to make,” she said.

Stephanie Hice, graduate student in food science, attended the Clinton event. Hice said she has been a Clinton support since her youth, and frequents political events to take photos.

“Bernie [Sanders] is equally qualified [as Clinton], but I think it is time for a woman in the White House,” Hice said.

Hice described her involvement in Wisconsin, her home state and how she supported Clinton before she even announced her running.

“I actually signed a petition before she announced her running to show her the supporters she had”, Hice said.

Hice will not be caucusing, however.

Christian Noyce, an active field organizer for League of Conservation for Hillary, was also in attendance. The League of Conservation is an organization that advocates for the environment and endorses candidates.

“Personally, she has a great environmental record and great leadership skills,” Noyce said.

Noyce will also not caucus.

After the event, supporters got to work, grabbing phone packages and making calls. They were also encouraged to sign up for canvasing shifts.
