She stands with Planned Parenthood.

Planned Parenthood is not just an abortion mill. (And even if it were, who cares? Last time I checked, abortions in this country were very legal.) Hillary Clinton is a strong supporter of reproductive rights and the services that Planned Parenthood provides for women. In fact, she’s been the only candidate to speak up for Planned Parenthood at any of the debates. It’s a place people can go for cancer screenings, birth control, and just guidance in general if they come from a family who’s too poor to afford those things, or unaccepting of it. Planned Parenthood is a safe place, and republicans for years, have been trying to take that away from us.

However, this year alone, Planned Parenthood has been put under extraordinary scrutiny. She noted during her speech at the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, “We need to defend Planned Parenthood against partisan attacks. If right-wing politicians actually cared as much about protecting women’s health as they say they do, they’d join me in calling for more federal funding for Planned Parenthood.” I want a president who stands with me, in terms of reproduce rights and access to places like Planned Parenthood. I don’t want someone trying to tear it away from me.
