Hillary Clinton Hillary Diane Rodham ClintonBiden courts veterans amid fallout from Trump military controversies Biden looks to shore up Latino support in Florida MLB owner: It's 'very necessary' to vote for Trump MORE said late Tuesday that women's rights are under “unprecedented attacks” as she took aim at politicians in Washington during 100th anniversary gala for Planned Parenthood.

“We have a lot to do to continue advancing the rights and opportunities and full participation of women and girls. It remains the great unfinished business of the 21st century, and some days it seems like it may be even more unfinished than we hoped,” Clinton told the audience in New York, according to CNN.

"As we speak, politicians in Washington are still doing everything they can to roll back the rights and progress we've fought so hard for over the last century.”

During her remarks, Clinton referred to "the photos of men around that conference table deciding to strip away coverage for pregnancy and maternity care.”

She called it a “disturbing blast from the past.”

She also criticized Republican lawmakers for attempting to defund the women’s health organization through the House GOP's healthcare plan and said the bipartisan spending deal that left the organization’s funding alone meant women “narrowly averted a disaster with the budget.”

"Right now, they're trying to jam through a healthcare plan that would cost 24 million people their health insurance and gut funding for Planned Parenthood," she said.

Earlier on Tuesday, Clinton spoke out about why she believe she lost the presidential election against President Trump in November. She also described herself as “part of the resistance.”

After keeping a relatively low profile since the election, she declared: “I’m back to being an active citizen and part of the resistance.”
