By blowing off that vote for his campaign just shouted loud & clear that he's just not that interested in women's health issues after all.
He couldn't have made a louder "silent statement" & women heard him.
But did you catch that really cool pro women statement his campaign mgr released to the press on behalf of 30% bernie?
Yup. What an effin insult. That vote was symbolic & spoke volumns. He blew it & every women's group noticed.
I don't know what kind of campaign he's running but its not working so well.
