<\/div>

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton chose the Planned Parenthood Action Fund’s gathering to make her first speech<\/a>. What ensued was a proclamation of unity between the Democratic candidate and the abortion chain\u00a0— essentially,\u00a0a Planned Parenthood commercial sponsored by Hillary Clinton. As she addressed the crowd, partially responsible for financially and actively helping her gain the nomination, she promised the abortion-focused audience that as president, “I will always have your back.”<\/p>\n

Before Clinton could even take the stage as the Planned Parenthood spokeswoman, the abortion profiteer’s president, Cecile Richards, introduced Clinton. Gushing, Richards\u00a0claimed\u00a0that for 100 years, \u201cPlanned Parenthood has allowed women to live out their dreams.\u201d She neglected, of course, to note that living those dreams is at the expense of other humans\u00a0dying\u00a0— and also neglected to note that many women see that they are doing just fine without Planned Parenthood’s help<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Richards continued to heap praise upon\u00a0Clinton for helping to expand abortifacient birth control and supporting ‘reproductive rights.’ As the crowd joined the fervor, Clinton joined Richards onstage and the two embraced.\u00a0\u201cPink never looked so good,\u201d Clinton said, thanking \u201cmy friend and your courageous leader,\u201d Cecile Richards. Clinton added that \u201cCecile is really is the definition of grace under pressure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clinton then thanked her “Planned Parenthood family” saying, \u201cYou made this campaign your own.\u201d<\/p>\n

She praised the abortion chain for its resolve to keep its doors open after a host of problems and attacks. One of those “attacks” to which Clinton was likely referring is the undercover videos from the Center for Medical Progress<\/a>, which stunned the nation in July 2015 by exposing the abortion giant’s willingness to alter abortion technique to harvest fetal organs and sell them for possible profit.<\/p>\n

As for other problems,\u00a0Planned Parenthood has a history of fraud<\/a>, supporting sex-selective abortion<\/a>, willingness to cover up child sex-trafficking<\/a>, failure to report child sexual abuse<\/a>, dissemination of inaccurate medical information<\/a> to women, and even lying about providing mammograms<\/a>. It seems\u00a0Hillary Clinton is willing to look past the illegal actions and indiscretions of Planned Parenthood.<\/p>\n

She portrayed the leaders of the nation’s number one abortion chain \u00a0as noble heroes, suffering for their righteousness. With grandstanding emotion, she said she wanted to say something they don\u2019t hear often enough (except maybe from President Obama<\/a>). “Thank you!<\/em>” \u00a0These thanks extended to praise for the abortion giant, for\u00a0being there for women no matter their race, economic status, or zip code. Clinton neglected\u00a0to note that many view with suspicion the\u00a0abortion chain’s propensity for\u00a0setting up its centers in poor and minority neighborhoods<\/a>, disproportionately killing babies based on their race, economic status, and zip code.<\/p>\n

Regardless of what Planned Parenthood does, it has a friend in Clinton, who proclaimed she has been proud to stand with Planned Parenthood for a long time, adding, \u201cAnd as president I will always have your back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clinton opined about how tragic it would be if the Supreme Court ruling on the Texas HB2 law<\/a> (requiring abortion facilities to meet the same standard of care as other clinics and to also have admitting privileges at a local hospital) let the law stand. She used this as a basis to remind the audience of “what\u2019s at stake on the Supreme Court,” referring to the appointment of justices. She also praised President Obama for nominating a justice to replace Antonin Scalia, but condemned Republicans for their actions in refusing to confirm him.<\/p>\n

Clinton made it clear that a significant part of her agenda is abortion itself, saying, “Defending women\u2019s health means defending access to abortion, not just in theory but in reality.”
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

She thanked and praised the “reproductive justice leaders in this room and across America.” And lest there be any doubt about the alliance Clinton will have with Planned Parenthood if\u00a0she is elected president of the United States, Clinton said, “I will be your partner in this election and in the long haul.”<\/p>\n

To that, the crowd, donned in Planned Parenthood pink, chanted her name in a unified mass of abortion praise: “HILL-A-RY! HILL-A-RY!”<\/p>\n
