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."

I would MUCH rather my tax money went to support Planned Parenthood than the F35 fighter. We're already over $1 trillion into THAT boondoggle. PP provides services right here, right now that our daughters and grand daughters need.
