Clinton has been more of leader on defending reproductive rights than Sanders has been, particularly as far as this campaign is concerned.

As for the HRC endorsement, I don't see her record on gay rights as better than Sanders.

The thing is Hillary said she was open to banning some partial birth abortion in 2000. Bernie has been consistently pro-choice since at least the early 1970s.

Read the article.  Sanders is a good vote on the issue, but he hasn't been out front on reproductive rights the way Clinton has been in this campaign.

I read Planned Parenthood's endorsement of Clinton and thought it was well-reasoned.  It includes a chart comparing Clinton and Sanders' records.  Their bottom line:  Sanders and Clinton are both good on reproductive health — But Clinton Pushes Harder.
