LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Seven days after calling the videos "disturbing," Clinton released an ad Monday calling the legislative efforts to defund Planned Parenthood "a full-on assault on women's health."
To Clinton, Planned Parenthood is "the nation's leader in providing reproductive health care."
"Unfortunately, these attacks aren't new," Clinton said. "They're more of the same. We have seen them in Wisconsin, where Governor Walker defunded Planned Parenthood and left women across the state stranded with nowhere else to turn. We have seen them in Florida, where Jeb Bush funneled millions of dollars into abstinence-only programs while gutting funds for crucial family planning programs. And we have seen them in Texas, where Governor [Rick] Perry drastically cut funding for breast and cervical cancer screenings."
"And then [Perry] signed legislation that forced health centers across the state to close their doors in an attempt to wipe out access to safe and legal abortion all together," Clinton continued.
However, as governor of Florida, Bush has put millions of dollars to pro-life pregnancy care clinics, "which are pro-life alternatives to abortion clinics," according to Life Site News. Perry signed a measure in 2013 to ban most abortions after 20 weeks gestation, forced abortion clinics to upgrade and match surgical centers and "required abortionists to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals."
Still, Clinton believes that by cutting Planned Parenthood we are "cutting people off from the health care provider they know and trust."
"When they attack women's health, they attack America's health," Clinton said. "And it's wrong. And we are not going to let them get away with it. We are not going back. We are going to fight back."
Clinton has taken support of abortion for a long time now, stating earlier that "religious beliefs opposed to abortion 'must be changed,'" according to Life Site News.
"I'm proud to stand with Planned Parenthood," Clinton boldly concluded.
