Related: About this forumHillary Compares Republican Candidates to ‘Terrorist Groups’
Olivia NuzziIn a speech in Cleveland, Hillary Clinton compared Republican views on womens rights to those held by terrorist groups. Republicans were not amused.
Perhaps in an attempt to distract everyone from her email scandal, Hillary Clinton on Thursday likened pro-life Republicans to terrorist groups.
Speaking in front of an Ohio flag backdrop at Case-Western Reserve University in Cleveland on Thursday, Clinton castigated the GOP candidates for their opposition to Planned Parenthood.
Marco Rubio brags about wanting to deny victims of rape and incest access to healthcare, to an abortion. Jeb Bush says Planned Parenthood shouldnt get a penny. Your governor right here in Ohio banned state funding for some rape crisis centers because they sometimes refer women to other health facilities that do provide abortions.
She shifted her weight back and forth behind the Hillary-stamped lectern and angrily waved her finger in the air.
I would like these Republican candidates to look a mom in the eye who caught her breast cancer early because she was able to get a screening for cancer, or the teenager who didnt get pregnant because she had access to contraception, or anyone whos ever been protected by an HIV test.

Stupid comment about email. Hillary doesn't need an excuse to call out the troglodytes on the right.

She said it because it's true. There is no politician who knows more, or is better on, women's issues than HRC.

But the whole article was far from objective reporting, or even decent analysis

I hope she does it as often and as loudly as possible.
They are waging a war against women and you know what they say about all's fair...
