In an address to a Planned Parenthood fundraising event, United States President Barack Obama has accused pro-life activists of being engaged in “an assault on women’s rights”.
Hailing Planned Parenthood’s work, the President criticized “those who want to turn back the clock to policies more suited to the 1950s”.
Obama, the first sitting president to address the abortion-rights group in person, concluded his remarks to Planned Parenthood by saying: “God bless you.”
