DMCA | President Barack Obama ripped Republican-led efforts to defund Planned Parenthood, during a Friday speech to the women's health organization's annual gala in Washington, D.C. Obama, who made history by becoming the first sitting U.S. president ever to address the group, offered a spirited defense of Planned Parenthood's mission. Noting that one in five American women has turned to Planned Parenthood for health care services ranging from contraception to cancer screenings, Obama said "when politicians try to turn Planned Parenthood into a punching bag, they're not just talking about you, but they're talking about the millions of women who they serve." |
