Hillary Defends Planned Parenthood from ‘Full-On Assault on Women’s Health’

Following the release of a series of undercover videos shot at Planned Parenthood clinics that claim to catch the women’s health and abortion provider attempting to sell fetal organs, Hillary Clinton has released a new two minute video that defends the organization from what she describes as a “full-on assault on women’s health.”

Speaking directly into the camera, Clinton calls out GOP candidates like Scott Walker, Jeb Bush and Rick Perry for their efforts to defund Planned Parenthood. She also reminds voters that beyond just abortions, the organization also provides “life-saving preventive care” like cancer screenings, breast exams and birth control, to millions of women and men.

“When they attack women’s health, they attack America’s health,” she says. “And it’s wrong. And we’re not going to let them get away with it.”

“I’m proud to stand with Planned Parenthood,” Clinton concludes, definitively.

Last week, during an interview with the New Hampshire Union Leader, Clinton called the images from the undercover videos “disturbing” while at the same time reaffirming her support for a woman’s right to choose.
