Linking abortion rights and birth control to national economic growth, Clinton argues that Trump would take the country back to a time when “when abortion was illegal women had far fewer options and life for too many women and girls were limited.”
She says: “When Donald Trump says let’s make America great again that is code for let’s take America backward.”
Clinton is speaking to the national conference of Planned Parenthood in Washington, D.C. She’s thanking the non-profit women’s health group for their support in the primary and highlighting her staunch support for abortion rights.
In January, the group backed Clinton, offering its first endorsement in the group’s 100 year history.
“This victory belongs to all of you,” says Clinton.
