Democrat presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg once received Planned Parenthood’s Global Citizen Award at the organization's annual gala in 2014.
During his acceptance speech, the former New York City mayor said, "I obviously care about a woman’s right to choose. I think a woman shouldn’t be forced into doing anything. She’s got to make the decision. It’s her body and I understand that."
He also said that his foundation would invest $50 million to help Planned Parenthood expand into "Tanzania ,Uganda, Senegal, Burkina Faso, and Nicaragua", where they would work together to help undo pro-life legislation.
