Planned Parenthood Honours Clinton with its prestigious award

U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton is in the news again but this time, her philanthropic efforts are at the core of her gender. Clinton was honoured by Family Planning for her contribution to women's rights last night in Houston, TX.

In light of recent studies showing a trend in the ineffective outcome of federally funded multi-million dollar "Abstinence-Only" programs being implemented in schools across the United States, some safe conclusions are being drawn by comprehensive educators who are more concerned with providing fact-based information to the population. Planned Parenthood Federation of American is still a leader in factual information, providing help and realistic options to those searching for truth.

On Friday night, the United States Secretary of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton was expected to receive the "Margaret Sanger" award (pdf) for being a key player in women's rights. The National Conference was held in Houston, Texas for the first time in 30-years with Texas being one of the biggest movements against factual education regarding sexual health. Of course, this could be because Texas is number one on the list for receiving Federal Funds that are tied into programs, including those that preach the ineffective abstinence-only message.

In the Houston Chronicle, Hillary Clinton made a profound and truly valid statement in light of oppression of women in other cultures and countries:

“A society that denies and demeans women’s rights and roles is a society that is more likely to engage in behavior that is negative, anti-democratic and leads to violence and extremism”
