Elizabeth Warren Fires Up Netroots Nation: ‘We Will Overturn Hobby Lobby!’
“We believe that students are entitled to get an education without being crushed by debt, and we are willing to fight for it,” she said. “We believe that after a lifetime of work, people are entitled to retire with dignity. And that means protecting social security, Medicare and pensions, and we will fight for them!”
“I can’t believe I have to say this in 2014,” Warren said, echoing a speech she made on the Senate floor earlier in the week. “We believe in equal pay for equal work and we’re willing to fight for it. We believe that equal means equal and that’s true in marriage, it’s true in the workplace, it’s true in all of America.”
Finally, she ended her speech by taking on the recent Supreme Court ruling that gave corporations like Hobby Lobby the right not to cover certain contraceptives for their employees.
“Oh, and we believe that corporations are not people, that women to have a right to their bodies,” she said to escalating cheers. “We will overturn Hobby Lobby and we will fight for it!”
