For the first time, Planned Parenthood is endorsing a candidate in the primaries

Planned Parenthood, which has become an ideological minefield in the 2016 presidential election, said Thursday that it would endorse Hillary Clinton — its first endorsement in a presidential primary in the nonprofit’s 100-year existence.

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.

This all started when we let them vote.

I'm with you all the way on this. I only get pissed at women when they starting butchering their own children.

Does that strike anybody else as a bit - I don't know conflicted? Also a pretty poor strategy if Clinton loses - the Republicans will come after them with hammers and tongs.

What we need is more authority over others. Just as long as I agree with the authority, who cares how others want to live their lives.

I hate freedom too - which is why I support the republican agenda to tell me what to do with my life, who to love, who is in charge of my body, how I am processed by the TSA, what religion I can belong to without being discriminated against, whether or not I have access to union representation, what drugs I have access to, whether or not I have to have an ID to vote, whether or not unarmed black kids can get murdered for no reason, etc.
