Planned Parenthood is facing a new wave of existential threats, this time targeting its funding as a women's health provider. Three years after the US Supreme Court removed the federal right to abortion, Planned Parenthood President and CEO Alexis McGill Johnson returns to Rapid Response to talk about why she's now turned to the same Court to protect her organization from an attack by South Carolina's governor. Big funding attacks are also underway from Texas and the Trump Administration. McGill Johnson's approach to conflict, how she motivates herself and her team, provides a telling window into leadership in duress.Visit the Rapid Response website here: https://www.rapidresponseshow.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear oral arguments today in a big case about healthcare access and Planned Parenthood. The years-long court fight centers on South Carolina's bid to push the reproductive care provider off the state's Medicaid program. The actual question in front of the justices is a technical one, but a decision in South Carolina's favor could prompt a wave of states to strip Medicaid funding away from Planned Parenthood. Alexis McGill Johnson, Planned Parenthood's president, explains what's at stake in the case.And in headlines: Attorney General Pam Bondi said she would seek the death penalty for the man charged with murdering UnitedHealthcare's CEO, the Trump administration admitted it made an ‘administrative error' in deporting a Maryland father with protected legal status to El Salvador, and mass layoffs began at the Department of Health and Human Services.Show Notes:Learn more about Planned Parenthood –www.plannedparenthood.org/Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

If Vice-President Kamala Harris wins in November, it will likely be on the strength of the pro-choice vote, which has been turning out strongly in recent elections. Her statements and choices on the campaign trail couldn't stand in starker relief against those of Donald Trump and his running mate, J. D. Vance, who recently called for defunding Planned Parenthood. Meanwhile, Harris “is the first sitting Vice-President or President to come to a Planned Parenthood health center, to come to an abortion clinic, and really understand the conversations that have been happening on the ground,” Alexis McGill Johnson, Planned Parenthood's president and C.E.O., told David Remnick. The organization is spending upward of $40 million in this election to try to secure abortion rights in Congress and in the White House. A second Trump term, she speculates, could bring a ban on mifepristone and a “pregnancy czar” overseeing women in a federal Department of Life. “Is that scary enough for you?” Johnson asks.

Planned Parenthood president and CEO Alexis McGill Johnson is a self-described “movement baby.” Her parents fought for racial equality during the civil rights movement, and as an adult, she led campaigns that used pop culture to civically engage young voters. Even though she credited her success to the women who raised her, she wasn't thinking much about the role of women in social justice issues. Then she walked by a billboard in SoHo depicting the dire state of reproductive health care for Black women. It quickly became all she could think about. In this episode of 9 to 5ish, Alexis shares: Her go-to bagel order as a certified Jersey girl The biggest lesson her mom taught her about community organizing Why a Princeton professor thanked her after she called out his racial prejudice How she finds time to plan for the future of the org with so much uncertainty Her secret to getting people to see her perspective on politicized issues like abortion
Alexis McGill Johnson never had taking over Planned Parenthood on her life's bingo card. But as a woman whose family tree is full of inspirational women, it's no surprise that Alexis has been able to steer the organization through one of the most tumultuous times for women's health care access. On this episode of She Pivots, Alexis shares the stories of her grandmother and mother who paved the way for her success, pivoting from teaching at Yale and Wesleyan to organizing, working at the intersection of politics and hip hop, founding and growing the Perception Institute, and becoming the leader of Planned Parenthood. She also details what the reproductive health care landscape looks like now and what's ahead in the fight for abortion rights. She Pivots was created by host Emily Tisch Sussman to highlight women, their stories, and how their pivot became their success.

With the 2024 election on the horizon, Morgan DeBaun is sitting down with Alexis McGill Johnson, the current President and CEO of Planned Parenthood Federation of America and Planned Parenthood Action Fund, for an eye-opening conversation about the fight for reproductive rights and freedom. Through the episode, Alexis shares insights into the strategic erosion of women's rights by the government, and she reveals the harsh reality facing doctors and patients since the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022. Alexis also explains how countries can slide into authoritarianism, and how the current political landscape in the United States mirrors those trends. But it's not all about the grim potential for the future of the United States, as Morgan and Alexis discuss how individuals and social impact businesses can be a part of the change. They explore the responsibilities and challenges of small businesses when it comes to navigating healthcare policies, especially in light of restrictive and draconian rules. Alexis also shares the power of storytelling to foster empathy and gain support in the fight to protect reproductive rights. While this episode is far from light-hearted, it's an important one!

By the late 90s, rap was the world's pop music. The money was flowing, creating hip-hop moguls and welcoming in the Bling Era. But as hip-hop went mainstream and gained commercial success, the rap music topping the charts had begun to largely shed its political messaging in favor of music that was mostly about the trappings of success: sex, partying, and money. That is, until pressure mounted and backlash to a Republican government brought politics back to hip-hop once more, leading to the mobilization of a generation and the first hip-hop president: Barack Obama.Trymaine Lee is joined by: rapper Master P, stic of the hip-hop duo Dead Prez, rapper & activist Tef Poe, Vote or Die's Alexis McGill Johnson, political organizer Rosa Clemente, and writer Joan Morgan.

Today's podcast is a candid conversation with Alexis McGill Johnson, President and CEO of Planned Parenthood. We are living at volatile time in American history. One entire party is hellbent on taking us backward into the worst parts of our country's past filled with racism, homophobia, inequality and the subjugation of women. Since the reversal of Roe v. Wade, every day is a new affront to the value of women and those who require reproductive rights in our society. Every day comes with a fresh new story of archaic, backward laws and the trauma of the real people who have to live under these laws. Being female in America has never been easy, but with THIS Republican Party and THIS supreme court our lives, and the lives of those who can give birth, have become the newest cannon fodder in the culture wars.

Joy Reid leads this edition of The ReidOut sounding the alarm about the Supreme Court being poised to overturn Roe v. Wade according to a leaked draft opinion published by Politico. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito authored the draft of this ruling, which rests on the argument that, "The Constitution makes no reference to abortion, and no such right is implicitly protected" -- taking us back to the time of the Founding Fathers, when women were considered barely more than the property of their fathers and husbands. Rep. Barbara Lee, Alexis McGill Johnson, President and CEO of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, and more expert guests join Joy on what is next in the fight to preserve abortion access. We also take you live to Vice President Kamala Harris giving a speech at a gala hosted by the pro-choice group Emily's List, where she calls on abortion rights supporters to join this battle. Plus, the polls have closed in Ohio. Steve Kornacki, MSNBC national political correspondent, joins us with an analysis of critical primaries there.
