Yes, that was what I was referring to. Wiggle Room on the abortion issue. Republican Lite. libdem4life Feb 2016 #61

Yep. Merryland Feb 2016 #70

Well, it is Republican Lite time amongst the formerly respectable Left. libdem4life Feb 2016 #82

Out of the shadows they slink... Merryland Feb 2016 #86

Indeed they do. libdem4life Feb 2016 #94

Corruption is corruption TriplD Feb 2016 #190

Um, no. They are totally separate organizations. PPFA and PPAF. PeaceNikki Feb 2016 #191

Their own fault. n/t Merryland Feb 2016 #48

They deserve to be, for this betrayal of many of their supporters Armstead Feb 2016 #158

Even though she recently said she'd consider a Constitutional Amendment limiting choice. merrily Feb 2016 #4

My instantaneous point. Wonder how that will fly? Oh right, it's an inconvenient fact libdem4life Feb 2016 #6

Apparently, it's already flown with PP. I can't imagine they are unaware of it. merrily Feb 2016 #7

yes once the door is closed on 3rd term abortions (by hc) questionseverything Feb 2016 #160

A) That was last fall so 'recently' is a bit subjective PeaceNikki Feb 2016 #14

Just last fall? Merryland Feb 2016 #87

Yeah, what was I thinking? Given how fast Hillary "evolves, last fall was eons ago. merrily Feb 2016 #188

PP is backing this woman? Kelvin Mace Feb 2016 #5

A "feminist" who doesn't consider abortion a right loyalsister Feb 2016 #9

Again, the elite who run PP Kelvin Mace Feb 2016 #13

So, who decides that the mother's life/health is at risk? lasttrip Feb 2016 #136

Right. I will no longer support Planned Parenthood unless they withdraw their endorsement. Merryland Feb 2016 #80

Even though they need support more than ever. Penalize all who they help because of this? uppityperson Feb 2016 #90

If they want my money Merryland Feb 2016 #101

Because penalizing women's health is a politically convenient thing to do. uppityperson Feb 2016 #108

Planned Parenthood did this to themselves. Beowulf Feb 2016 #163

I agree. There are a lot of women who are not necessarily HRC fans. thesquanderer Feb 2016 #183

PP wants it both ways Beowulf Feb 2016 #185

PP does a lot of good things for a lot of people casperthegm Feb 2016 #105

You mean like me? I wish they hadn't done this, but will also continue to volunteer for, work for, uppityperson Feb 2016 #187

Good, if you believe in what they do. Armstead Feb 2016 #189

I do very much and also agree they shouldn't have done this. uppityperson Feb 2016 #193

I'm quite sure you'll allege to have supported them in the past. LanternWaste Feb 2016 #103

look up-thread at all the other "progressives" whose feelings were so hurt they have elected to also DrDan Feb 2016 #144

Yes because even republican women have vaginas. Women's healthcare should have nothing to do with jillan Feb 2016 #198

What alternative will you offer to young women and men who use them for contraception, STD exams and uppityperson Feb 2016 #202

My reaction as well... one_voice Feb 2016 #207

I am just so fucking sick of everyone who supports HRC swiftly deemed a sworn "enemy". PeaceNikki Feb 2016 #20

lol PeaceNikki Feb 2016 #109

I have no idea which video you are referring to. Here, I'll make it a bit clearer. A day or two ago. libdem4life Feb 2016 #113

How and why did what happen? PeaceNikki Feb 2016 #120

Post removed Post removed Feb 2016 #128

Dramatic? Dramatic is holding back support of PP over this endorsement. PeaceNikki Feb 2016 #129

I agree... quickesst Feb 2016 #19

yup. PeaceNikki Feb 2016 #21

it's like a drive to marginalize the progressive movement bigtree Feb 2016 #22

And none of that changes the fact that Clinton says she supports jeff47 Feb 2016 #23

. PeaceNikki Feb 2016 #24

Does your sign change either of those facts? (nt) jeff47 Feb 2016 #25

Does writing off PP and/or NARAL because they support a DEMOCRATIC candidate make sense? PeaceNikki Feb 2016 #27

I couldn't believe when NARAL called with a survey! peace13 Feb 2016 #75

JFC, how is is manipulative that they endorse and work hard to get a Democrat elected? PeaceNikki Feb 2016 #81

I get it. It's all about you and hurting your feelings. PeaceNikki Feb 2016 #150

My feelings are't hurt. earthside Feb 2016 #153

Your concern has been noted. PeaceNikki Feb 2016 #156

Sanders still supports PP and would probably be ashamed of his supporters who don't. PeaceNikki Feb 2016 #175

I support Planned Parenthood. earthside Feb 2016 #177

I am glad PP stands by ALL women and reproductive choice-even as you toss them under the bus riversedge Feb 2016 #179

Oh Look! It's Hillary kicking pregnant women who want an abortion under the bus. jillan Feb 2016 #199

Her record proves otherwise. PeaceNikki Feb 2016 #200

And her words say something else. jillan Feb 2016 #203

That's a distortion. PeaceNikki Feb 2016 #204

What's shameful is they're not supporting the millions of women Fawke Em Feb 2016 #28

They're supporting a Democrat who fully supports them. PeaceNikki Feb 2016 #30

They're going to look very ineffective and toothless when the Democrat who fully supports them.. frylock Feb 2016 #37

Your concern is noted. PeaceNikki Feb 2016 #40

I'm not in the least bit concerned how badly PP looks in all this. frylock Feb 2016 #122

And they could have waiting until there was a nominee. Fawke Em Feb 2016 #45

No, they are not. They are supporting a candidate who has fought for women her whole life. PeaceNikki Feb 2016 #54

What tripe! Fawke Em Feb 2016 #60

mmmm hmmm. poor you PeaceNikki Feb 2016 #63

Poor yourself. Fawke Em Feb 2016 #67

That's awesome that he supports repeal, too. And single payer. PeaceNikki Feb 2016 #68

Well, they endorsed your candidate, so you weren't slapped. Fawke Em Feb 2016 #74

They are both good, strong, women supporting Democrats and, as such, both 'mine'. PeaceNikki Feb 2016 #83

Exactly farleftlib Feb 2016 #77

And Cecile Richards' daughter works for Hillary Merryland Feb 2016 #73

So what? And her mother was the amazing Ann Richards. PeaceNikki Feb 2016 #78

So what? Hillary supports compromise on abortion rights. Merryland Feb 2016 #84

No, she doesn't. PeaceNikki Feb 2016 #85

Yes, she does. See the below quote. Merryland Feb 2016 #89

That was my point, as well, that you missed apparently. Hillary did one of her flip flops. libdem4life Feb 2016 #124

If PP wants to play primary politics, then they have to accept the consequences. earthside Feb 2016 #137

If their support of someone causes you to be divided, that's on you. PeaceNikki Feb 2016 #140

Criticize away. Withdraw support? Really fucking dumb. Planned Parenthood is separate from the PPAC PeaceNikki Feb 2016 #152

That's NOT their damn job to scuttle candidate who support them Armstead Feb 2016 #162

This is the political arm of Planned Parenthood so political action is their entire reason to exist. PeaceNikki Feb 2016 #164

Like I said above, it depends on the race Armstead Feb 2016 #166

That's the silliest that keeps happening. PeaceNikki Feb 2016 #167

One person wins. The other loses. Politics 101. Armstead Feb 2016 #169

I think Sanders himself would be ashamed of that response from his supporters. PeaceNikki Feb 2016 #174

He had to be political and tactful in public. We don't Armstead Feb 2016 #180

I'm a Sanders supporter and so mad, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, gonna... uppityperson Feb 2016 #192

They really should stay out of this. Fawke Em Feb 2016 #26

Anyone who quits supporting PP over an endorsement is no supporter of PP. JTFrog Feb 2016 #32

mmmm hmmm. It's awful. PeaceNikki Feb 2016 #34

No excuse for it on a supposed liberal democratic website. JTFrog Feb 2016 #44

And if PP tries to show their liberal bona fides by slapping me in the face, it's OK? Fawke Em Feb 2016 #50

You poor thing. JTFrog Feb 2016 #56

I'm a WOMAN. Fawke Em Feb 2016 #62

Men and women who need these health services put THEMSELVES in this position? JTFrog Feb 2016 #97

Oh for fuck's sake. They disrespected you????? JTFrog Feb 2016 #51

Yes. They did. Fawke Em Feb 2016 #55

Words from Hillary's OWN mouth: Merryland Feb 2016 #95

Planned Parenthood is separate from the PP Action Fund. tammywammy Feb 2016 #110

They aren't going to hear you. JTFrog Feb 2016 #114

The best part of this endorsement is how ineffectual it will be. frylock Feb 2016 #35

There are several posters who should be ashamed of their posts in this thread. JTFrog Feb 2016 #39

By bernie and/or Democratic candidates? beedle Feb 2016 #130

no. Holy shit, not every fucking support of HRC is not anti-Bernie. PeaceNikki Feb 2016 #132

They strongly support Clinton and go into great, explicit detail as to why they do. PeaceNikki Feb 2016 #149
