...or watch it happen in unsafe ways that harm women.

On this point, once again, I stand with Hillary Clinton.

This is something that needs to be addressed repeatedly because of the state-wide assault on reproductive rights and healthcare. While the GOP fights over who is the most extreme 'pro-life' candidate, we need to hear the counter argument more frequently. Because the battle to limit/remove the right to choose is ongoing and vicious. We should be very concerned when any candidate like Rubio is willing to say 'no exceptions' or make arguments about rape and incest victims being forced to carry pregnancies to term. Or allowing women to die before performing a therapeutic abortion. Tie this with the anti-contraception crowd and we're being taken back to the days when women died in back alleyways.

Pro-choice is not an establishment stance, not any longer. Every generation will have to fight this battle again and again. For women and their enlightened partners, it's a no brainer.

Hillary Clinton has always been a clear, forceful voice on the issue. She'll continue to be as President.
