Planned Parenthood to endorse Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire on Sunday

ManchesterPlanned Parenthood for America is expected to endorse Hillary Clinton on Sunday in Manchester, two sources with knowledge of the endorsement tell CBS News.

The women's health group has never endorsed a candidate in a presidential primary - until now.

The endorsement is not unexpected: the Democratic front runner's ties with Planned Parenthood are long standing, and she counts President Cecile Richards as a friend.

"There has never been a presidential candidate with as strong a commitment to women's health and rights as @HillaryClinton. #Historic," Richards tweeted when Clinton announced her candidacy last April.

"Let’s be clear — reproductive rights and health are on the ballot in 2016," said Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards. “We're proud to endorse Hillary Clinton for President of the United States."

Why should supporters of PP be forced to feel uncomfortable about them favoring a candidate in the primsry.

It'd be acceptable if Bernie or Martin O were anti-choice. But they are both pro choice and would be just as supportive.

Snacks of insider cronyism to me.

like what would they have done had they had a leader not so "close" to HC.

And why her? Was her husband or BHO their enemy or something?

It also smells a bit like desperation as well...
