PHILADELPHIA ― It wasn’t until halfway through the second night of the Democratic National Convention that someone finally said the A-word.

Abortion.

In fact, Cecile Richards, president of the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, said it three times on Tuesday. In a speech that made the case for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton as a defender of women’s rights and a crusader for access to affordable health care, Richards, whose organization has come under intense fire from Republicans in the last year, said the word that Democrats ― even abortion-rights advocates ― so often avoid.

Clinton, Richards said, “will always stand up for Roe v. Wade and the right of every woman to access a full range of reproductive health care, including abortion, no matter her economic status.”

And then: “Not long ago, the Supreme Court ruled that the Texas laws that forced abortion providers to close their doors are dangerous and unconstitutional.”

And finally: “Donald Trump has called women ‘fat pigs’ and ‘dogs.’ He wants to punish women for having abortions. And he says pregnancy is an “inconvenience” for a woman’s employer.”Someone Finally Said The Word ‘Abortion’ On The DNC Stage

Richards said the word is “abortion.” Not “a woman’s right to choose.” Not “women’s health.” Abortion.
