Clinton Endorsed by Planned Parenthood

Today, Hillary Clinton was endorsed by the Planned Parenthood Action Fund at a rally in Manchester, New Hampshire. Both Clinton and Planned Parenthood support women’s rights and women’s health, but the organization has been attacked by Republicans and others because many of Planned Parenthood’s clinics offer abortion services. After being introduced by Cecile Richards, Clinton gave a speech in which she promised to support Planned Parenthood against attacks and vowed to support women’s health services including birth control, mammograms, and sex education. She criticized Republicans and Congress for attempting to defund the organizing saying that it was a direct attack on women’s health. A full video from the event is available on C-SPAN.

Clinton Appears on Face the Nation

This morning, Hillary Clinton appeared on CBS’s Face the Nation. In her 10-minute interview with host John Dickerson, Clinton was asked about the upcoming primaries in New Hampshire and Iowa, two races that are close between her and chief rival, Bernie Sanders.

She was also asked about a string of personal attacks that have been directed and her and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. In the past she had vowed to not respond to these attacks, but today she said, “If he wants to engage in personal attacks from the past, that is his prerogative. You know, so be it. There are very clear distinctions. He can say whatever he wants about me. Let the voters judge that. But I am not going to let him or any of the other Republicans rip away the progress that we have. It has been too hard fought for. And I am going to stand up and make it clear there is a huge difference between us.” A video of the full interview is above.
