Planned Parenthood Endorses Hillary Clinton

Written by SK Ashby

As Joe Biden might say, this is a "big fuckin' deal."

Mrs. Clinton will officially accept the group’s support Sunday at a campaign rally in Manchester, N.H. The decision to break with tradition and endorse Mrs. Clinton comes as the House has approved a measure, endorsed by the leading Republican presidential candidates, that would repeal parts of the Affordable Care Act and strip away federal financing for Planned Parenthood, which provides reproductive and health care services.

“Everything Planned Parenthood has believed in and fought for over the past 100 years is on the ballot,” said Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood.

Planned Parenthood has never endorsed a presidential primary candidate in its 100-year history.

I would not be surprised if this endorsement prompts the sharing of sexist or misogynistic remarks even on the left.
