Need list of Hillary's Position on Female Reproductive Rights and Supreme Court Appointments.

[KoKo]

Hillary is in my age group... I want to know "Position Papers" or "Press Releases" she's done about "Roe vs. Wade" and Alito and Roberts appointments to the Supreme Court and HER (Hillary's) views on this?

If you have "You Tube" links to key speeches where she talks about Female Reproductive Rights...I'd like to see the links.

Thank you for understanding this important issue.

1. Help! Doesn't "ANY" Hillary Supporter have Links? I know it takes time

to find these links...but I wanted to "kick" to give you the time before my post goes off to ARCHIVES without a proper answer on this MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE!

2. *cue crickets* nt

3. One thing is for sure, she did not vote "present" half the time on abortion bills

Like a certain candidate did when in the state legislature. ;) He did not have enough audacity to take a stand. :crazy:

4. Help...do any C;linton Supporters Post on this Forum????

Where ARE YOU?

6. Hillary Clinton is Pro Choice.

Voted no on Alito, and voted no on Roberts.

[KoKo]

7. That's easy to do...when Repugs could vote YES...where are her current statements on what she

belives about both of them on the Supreme Court? Have you seen her give speeches about what will happen if Roe vs. Wade is overturned? Or, about Women having problems with Fundie Pharmacists denying them the "Morning After Pill?"

Where has she been lately. Is it correct for her campaign for Dem Presidency to hide her Feminist Side under a Bushel ...so she can talk about how "Tough she would BE on WAR?"

Or should we trust her to be a "Compassionate President" like so many believed Chimp as the "Compassionate Repug" who would ba a "Uniter" and not a "divider." :shrug:

8. Have you asked the same question of the other candidates.

Being pro choice pretty much says it all doesn't it?

9. It seems doubtful that anything would satisfy you, but

since you asked if Clinton has issued statements, press releases etc. on women's reproductive rights, here's a link to the statement she issued on the 34th Anniversary of Roe v Wade earlier this year:

"As we mark the 34th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, we are at a critical moment for women's health. Women's right to make choices about their reproductive health has been systematically challenged and family planning and contraception are under attack. All women must be able to make their own choices about their reproductive health. At the same time, we must work for the day when abortions are truly rare. That means preventing unwanted pregnancies and doing everything we can to ensure that all women have access to family planning, contraception and the medically accurate information they need and deserve.

I was proud to help launch the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy, which has helped reduce teen pregnancy by one third. Together with Senator Patty Murray, I pressed the FDA for a long overdue decision on Plan B, making emergency contraception available over-the-counter for millions of women – a real victory for women's health. I have also introduced the Prevention First Act, which increases funding for family planning services, ensures that health plans that cover prescription drugs cover contraceptives, improves education about emergency contraception, ensures that hospital emergency rooms offer emergency contraception to victims of sexual assault and strengthens Medicaid coverage of family planning services so family planning and contraception are accessible and affordable for low income women. These are common sense policies on which we can find common ground. By taking these steps, we can realize the goal of making abortion safe, legal and rare.”

And here's her statement from April of this year in response to the Court's 5-4 decision on "partial birth" abortions:

Washington, DC -- "This decision marks a dramatic departure from four decades of Supreme Court rulings that upheld a woman's right to choose and recognized the importance of women's health. Today's decision blatantly defies the Court's recent decision in 2000 striking down a state partial-birth abortion law because of its failure to provide an exception for the health of the mother. As the Supreme Court recognized in Roe v. Wade in 1973, this issue is complex and highly personal; the rights and lives of women must be taken into account. It is precisely this erosion of our constitutional rights that I warned against when I opposed the nominations of Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Alito."

By the way, I'm not a Hillary supporter, but since you asked for info, and are apparently unable for some reason of looking it up yourself, I thought I'd try to supply it.

10. Obama voted present with the request of the Women's reproductive rights groups request

they got together with Obama and plotted it all out.
they saw a gop trick and wanted him to blindside them.

14. Il Prog is misleading. That strategy was created for legislators in conservative districts

Obama represented a liberal district...What was his excuse for not taking a stand 50% of the time on choice?
