Clinton Name-Checks Republicans in New Video Defending Planned Parenthood
Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton alleged in a new video Monday that Republicans, including three running for president, are mounting a “full-on assault on women’s health” by attempting to curtail Planned Parenthood and other reproductive health-care providers.
The presidential campaign video — released as Planned Parenthood is under siege this week in Congress — features Clinton speaking directly into the camera as she criticizes Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and former Texas Gov. Rick Perry for taking steps to restrict access to abortions and other services while in office. She refers to the three Republicans by name, marking one of her most direct attacks on potential GOP opponents yet.
“Republicans like Scott Walker and Jeb Bush are calling to defund Planned Parenthood, the country’s leading provider of reproductive health care,” Clinton says. “And they are joined by Republicans in Congress, who will not waste a minute in voting to make that happen.”
