O.J. prosecutor Marcia Clark visits Dallas to support Planned Parenthood
Clark was the keynote speaker at the annual Dallas awards luncheon for Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas, KXAS-TV (NBC5) reported. Planned Parenthood health centers offer birth control, cancer screenings, HIV tests and other care in addition to abortions. Former first daughter Barbara Bush spoke at a Planned Parenthood fundraiser last week in Fort Worth. "I think Planned Parenthood is in jeopardy and that means millions of low-income women in particular, their lives, their health, [and] the health of their children is in jeopardy," Clark said. President Donald Trump said during a presidential debate that though millions of women are helped by Planned Parenthood, he would remove funding because of "the abortion factor."
Or, for that matter, to raise more money than any Planned Parenthood local affiliate ever had during a single lunch. Those numbers are not surprising given the current climate, as Planned Parenthood is under attack, causing its supporters to rally. March was a natural choice as special guest, because her great-grandmother founded the West Texas Mother's Health Center, which later became part of Planned Parenthood of West Texas, in 1938. Event co-chair Lindsay Billingsley was hoping to make headlines on March 8, aka International Women's Day, when Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas hosted its 2017 Dallas awards luncheon. It was then that Billingsley admitted she was a bit jealous of the publicity the Fort Worth Planned Parenthood luncheon — and its speaker, Barbara Bush — had received.
