Leading off today with Clinton's latest comments regarding Planned Parenthood, which continues to be under attack.
New Hampshire Union Leader ran a one-on-one interview with Clinton that covered several issues.
First, Planned Parenthood:
Clinton went on to note that the current attack on Planned Parenthood is part of a larger, ongoing effort to defund and discredit the organization:
“Planned Parenthood is answering questions and will continue to answer questions. I think there are two points to make,” Clinton said. “One, Planned Parenthood for more than a century has done a lot of really good work for women: cancer screenings, family planning, all kinds of health services. And this raises not questions about Planned Parenthood so much as it raises questions about the whole process, that is, not just involving Planned Parenthood, but many institutions in our country.”“And if there’s going to be any kind of congressional inquiry, it should look at everything and not just one part of it,” she said.
"Well, there is no funding that, you know, would be any more at risk than it already has been for years because this has been an ongoing dispute, and I’m well aware that passions are very high. I have said for more than 22 years that abortion should be legal, safe and rare. And as First Lady, I led an effort to try to lower the number of teen-age pregnancies and we succeeded, and as President I will continue to work toward that so that women are fully empowered, they can afford to make responsible decisions, and I hope that we will be successful with that.”More highlights from this in-depth interview and other News & Views after the jump!
