Bernie Sanders Takes POWERFUL STAND for Planned Parenthood on the Senate Floor [View all]




In response to the vicious vitriol and misinformation being spread, Sanders eloquently stated:

“..Now is not the time to continue a witch hunt for an organization that provides critical health care services, from reproductive health care to cancer screenings and preventative services to millions of Americans. No one is forced to seek care at Planned Parenthood. It is a choice, a choice millions of women make freely and proudly...”


Directly addressing the slew of horrifying and ignorant videos released this summer by anti-abortion groups, Bernie implored his colleagues to “understand that bitter, vitriolic rhetoric can have serious, unintended consequences.”
