FL-16: Planned Parenthood endorses Margaret Good, joining Emily's List, NARAL

Sarasota Democrat Margaret Good on Wednesday picked up an endorsement from Planned Parenthood Action.

“Planned Parenthood health centers provide valuable, life-saving health care to people in Florida and across the country,” said Good, who is currently a state Representative. “I am proud to have the support of the Planned Parenthood Action Fund as we advocate for reproductive justice.”

The latest endorsement means every major women’s group that supports abortion rights has thrown its weight behind Good’s effort to unseat U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan. Emily’s List endorsed Good in November. NARAL Pro-Choice America backed her candidacy earlier this month.

The Planned Parenthood endorsement came on the 47th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade. The landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision confirmed a woman’s constitutional right to terminate her pregnancy through an abortion.

The political arm for Planned Parenthood timed a number of endorsements to the anniversary, including one for U.S. Rep. Stephanie Murphy, an Orlando Democrat.
