Her husband, Jared Kushner, serves as senior adviser to the President. “Senior staff at the White House, including Ivanka Trump, play an influential role in shaping the Administration’s policy and negotiations with Congress, which has a profound impact on women’s health and lives,” Planned Parenthood said. Last month, Vice President Mike Pence cast a tie-breaking vote in the Senate for a bill that allows states to deny federal funds for abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood. Ivanka told CBS News’ Gayle King in her first interview since becoming a White House employee that just because she hasn’t come out with statements against the administration’s policies doesn’t mean she’s blindly agreeing with everything. “I would say not to conflate lack of public denouncement with silence,” she told King. “Where I disagree with my father, he knows it. And I express myself with total candor.” Richard has spoken about that public silence since their meeting, however. “it’s time for Ivanka to … stand for women,” she told[ Buzzfeed News’ Editor-in-Chief Ben Smith](https://www.buzzfeed.com/emaoconnor/cecile-richards-interview-buzzfeed-news?utm%5Fterm=.guDVlMKwOG#.xnBjX4YO2N) in March. [At the Women in the World Conference on April 5](http://nytlive.nytimes.com/womenintheworld/2017/04/05/women-are-woke-in-this-country-and-its-awesome/), Richards said, “Anyone who works in this White House is responsible for addressing why women are in the crosshairs of every single policy we’ve seen in this administration.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4728826/ivanka-trump-planned-parenthood-meeting/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4728826/ivanka-trump-planned-parenthood-meeting/"},"headline":"Ivanka Trump Met With Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards in January","datePublished":"2017-04-06T15:39:18.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T09:05:23.044Z","description":"The meeting took place shortly before the inauguration","url":"https://time.com/4728826/ivanka-trump-planned-parenthood-meeting/","keywords":["motto","Ivanka Trump","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt6d6801d4fa4175a7/6988c16797cdff83456b0172/ivanka-trump-presidential-run.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Alana Abramson","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/alana-abramson/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt6d6801d4fa4175a7/6988c16797cdff83456b0172/ivanka-trump-presidential-run.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"President Trump Holds CEO Town Hall On US Business Climate At White House","caption":"President Trump Holds CEO Town Hall On US Business Climate At White House","creditText":"Win McNamee/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/motto/","name":"motto"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4728826/ivanka-trump-planned-parenthood-meeting/","name":"Ivanka Trump Met With Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards in January"}}]}] ```
