Clinton blasts ‘concerted attack’ on Planned Parenthood

[Politicub]

Hillary Clinton strongly defended Planned Parenthood Thursday as the women's health organization reels from the fallout over a sting video released by anti-abortion activists earlier this month.

"For more than a century, Planned Parenthood has provided essential services for women," Clinton said while campaigning at a community college in Greenville, South Carolina. "And I think it is unfortunate that Planned Parenthood has been the object of such a concerted attack for so many years. And it's really an attack against a woman's right to chose."

There's a stark contrast between Hillary's strong defense of Planned Parenthood with Sanders' comments criticizing the "tone" of the propaganda video.

1. Good for her!

2. K & R

GOPers just can't stand for women to have health care or have any control over their own body.

F**k them.

3. It's about time!

I am sorry to see Bernie buy into any of the propaganda.

Hillary Clinton Defends Embattled Planned Parenthood

Hillary Clinton strongly defended Planned Parenthood Thursday as the women's health organization reels from the fallout over a sting video released by anti-abortion activists earlier this month.

"For more than a century, Planned Parenthood has provided essential services for women," Clinton said while campaigning at a community college in Greenville, South Carolina. "And I think it is unfortunate that Planned Parenthood has been the object of such a concerted attack for so many years. And it's really an attack against a woman's right to chose."

........................

Clinton noted that Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards has apologized for insensitivity shown by employees in the video, and acknowledged that the group will continue to face questions, but Clinton said the organization provides critical health services, especially to poor women, that must continue.

"I'm hoping this situation will not further undermine the very important services that Planned Parenthood provides across our country," Clinton said.


It's taken some time for allies to respond to the latest attack, but Democrats appear to once again be circling the wagons around Planned Parenthood. .....

So glad to have a presidential candidate speak out about this important issue. #StandwithPP

8. Kick & highly recommended!

[Walk away]

9. In regards to Women's issues, Hillary is our champion....

I'm afraid Bernie Sanders will be giving us the same old "it's all about income inequality" line he gives anyone who is being discriminated against.
We need someone with a history of working on all Women's issues and admitting that those issues actually exist!
