I agree with everything you say here. And that’s awesome that you did that work. Thank you.

It was from The Children’s Defense Fund, and organization she has worked with since the start of her careers. It happened last month.

No, I’m just taking issue with the absolutist statement you made above. I don’t think you and I actually disagree on any particulars. A government denying a woman’s bodily autonomy in either way is a violation of her fundamental rights.

Yeah, I know someone who worked as a staffer for her, and she has very high opinions of Sen. Gillibrand. She’s more centrist than I think is ideal but she’s generally moved in the right direction during her time in government.

That’s true, but the Chinese government has also forced women to undergo abortions against their will.

She is the crappiest person to ever win a lifetime achievement award for her for work on behalf of children.

Well it’s good that his intense desire to be president occasionally leads him to do something decent.

Unfortunately, laws limiting access to abortions and closing abortion clinics for illegitimate reasons are probably also contributing factors to that low rate.

Yes, that’s true. The U.S. and Canadian governments forcibly sterilized Native women without their knowledge or consent as late as the 1970s. My understanding is that the Australian government did the same thing to Aboriginal women in the same timeframe.

Huh. Well, maybe if you weren’t scrambling to defend such a crappy person you’d be able to argue against my actual opinions rather than making up opinions to argue against.

In fairness, we were safe from that no matter which way the election went. However, this way leads to Donald Trump likely destroying our democracy.

Uh, good for her?

Sounds like it’s you who doesn’t remember the 90s. Hillary Clinton famously didn’t “bake cookies”, she was actively involved in her husband’s administration; she both was involved in drafting policy and publicly advocated for the positions he took. That’s a huge part of the experience that she touted as one of the…

That’s not true. The Chinese government has forced women to have abortions. I’m guessing other governments have too at some point or another.

Yeah, and also, why isn’t the KKK welcome at the march too? They have a right to their opinions!

🙄 Yeah they sure are active aren’t they?

Nothing indicates that she cares less about the born than pre born. That’s a nice quip, but there’s no proof it applies in this case.

I’ve been arguing with someone over at Kotaku

“I think it’s wrong that NARAL and Planned Parenthood can just buy a whole march.”

I can’t even tell what that sentence means.
