DES MOINES, Iowa, November 16, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) – At Saturday night's Democratic debate, Hillary Clinton said the three Democrats on stage should spend more time distinguishing themselves from Republican presidential hopefuls.

“They are putting forth alarming plans. I mean, all of us support funding Planned Parenthood,” she said. “Let's focus on that.”

Planned Parenthood performed 327,653 abortions and received more than $528 million in tax dollars in 2013.
