Recently back from Mexico, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton… spends the day in TX…..

In the evening, Clinton attends a gala in Houston to receive the Margaret Sanger Award from the Planned Parenthood Federation of America for her advocacy of “women’s health and rights throughout her public service career.”

Added the National Journal:

HRC accepted the invite well before she became Sec/State, but her appearance is a stark reminder of the big role HRC has played in abortion-rights politics … and the bigger role women played in her ’08 campaign.

Can’t respond to this any better than Family Research Council did last night:

Of course, the question remains whether this award is even an honor. If “no one is pro-abortion,” as Barack Obama insists, then why agree to be celebrated by the number one supplier of abortion in America?…

It’s an organization whose founder embraced eugenics, targeted “the unfit” for “extinction,” and whose current staff is on record as accepting racially motivated donations in 7 different clinics nationwide. It’s an organization that fights to bar parents from the medical decisions of their 12-year-old daughters. According to videos in at least four states, PP has been involved in serial statutory rape cover-ups. Allegations in CA point to an estimated $180 million of fraud. In at least two states, PP petitioned for the construction of abortion clinics under false pretenses.
Really, is this an award that anyone – including Hillary Clinton – should covet? Its very name, the Margaret Sanger Award, is a tribute to a woman whose life’s mission was to “build a race of thoroughbreds.” PP’s long campaign to promote abortion on request, celebration of sexual libertinism, eugenics, and radical prejudice is the worst foreign policy message our nation could send – and tomorrow they crown their messenger.
