5. Aww, you had to go and throw that in there

stop throwing speed bumps in front of the bandwagon

[NCTraveler]

14. Excellent addition to my op.

Thank you. Not sure why the other poster takes issue.

Edit to add. I really wouldn't mind if people came in and posted the votes on this topic from other candidates. Would mesh right in with the op and show the excellent stances many of them take on the issue of abortion. The republicans are terrifying on civil and human rights.

4. I certainly hope everyone here at DU realizes that Hillary has always been a strong supporter of

women's rights

[winstars]

6. Yeah, but Bernie..... yawning a lot here these days...

[Doctor_J]

7. And I certainly hope everyone here at DU realizes that Bernie has always been a strong supporter of

women's rights. And workers, laborers, consumers, teachers, and environmentalists

[LondonReign2]

8. Most criticism of Clinton on DU is not because of her record on social issues

[hifiguy]

10. She is.

She is also every bit as strong a supporter of the plutocracy's "rights" to basically enslave the masses.

[REP]

9. The is no such thing as a "partial birth abortion"

The correct name is "intact dilation and extraction" or "intact D&X." Please don't use pro-lie language and correct it whenever you encounter it.

13. + a whole bunch

Vote was where it should have been.

16. I'm not a Hillary fan for many reasons

But she has always been a strong advocate for womens' issues.

[bigwillq]

17. Hillary has been strong on this issue.

Not surprising, though, as she did represent NY.
