Hillary Clinton Is About to Receive Another Major Award From This Organization
In 2014, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton won the Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s Margaret Sanger Award, the highest “honor” the abortion giant bestows upon one of its supporters.
But, it’s hard to say this next award she will get from Cecile Richards & Co. isn’t a bigger deal than that.
At an event the organization has billed as a “once-in-a-lifetime gala” to celebrate the centennial of its founding by Sanger, titled “100 Years Strong: The Celebration of a Century,” and to be held May 2 in New York City, Clinton will receive the Champion of the Century Award. According to a press release put out by the abortion giant, the award is meant to “honor” Clinton for her “40 years of service to women and girls in this country.”
“We’re proud to celebrate Planned Parenthood’s 100 years of strength and resilience at this moment in our history, as well as the tremendous outpouring of support for Planned Parenthood and our patients,” Richards said. “This Gala is a powerful reminder that Planned Parenthood has been around for 100 years and will continue to be here for the people who rely on us, no matter what. One hundred years of care, education and activism have changed everything, and we will not rest until access to health care and rights is a reality for all people.”
The connection between Clinton and arguably one of the most powerful forces in the liberal political movement came to full bear in the 2016 presidential election. For the first time in its history, Planned Parenthood endorsed a candidate when it threw its support behind Clinton, also pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into her failed campaign.
At the time, Clinton said:
“I will always defend Planned Parenthood and I will say consistently and proudly, Planned Parenthood should be funded, supported and protected, not undermined, misrepresented and demonized. As your president, I will always have your back.”
Looks like Planned Parenthood has got her back, too. {eoa}
