[image description: seven .gifs of Barack Obama with captions; each .gif shows him speaking directly into the camera, behind him are the American and Presidential flags; captions read “For most Americans, protecting women’s health is a mssion that stands above politics. And yet over the past year, [Planned Parenthood has] had to stand up to politicians who want to deny millions of women the care they rely on. And inject themselves into decisions that are best made between a woman and her doctor. Let’s be clear here. Women are not an interest group. They’re mothers. And daughters. And sisters. And wives. They’re half of this country. And they’re perfectly capable of making their own choices about their health. We must continue to send a message loud and clear. If you truly value families, you shouldn’t play politics with a woman’s health. I know [Planned Parenthood] will never stop fighting to protect the healthcare and the choices that America’s women deserve. And as long as I have the privilege of being your President, neither will I.”]
A message to
