There is a question about Secretary Clinton now calling herself a progressive when she has previously called herself a moderate. Progressive v moderate.

There was the question raised earlier as to whether Planned Parenthood was part of the Democratic Party establishment or part of the insurgency. Establishment v. Insurgency

There was never a question raised about whether Planned Parenthood was progressive. Hopefully being "establishment" and being "progressive" will never be mutually exclusive in our party.
