Hillz brings up choice! Women go WILD!

[Schema Thing]

1. This is the Hillary who would look at restricting a woman's right to choose?

[Omaha Steve]

24. Going to leave a mark

[Schema Thing]

2. Also, why would Bernie be "fucked" by her bringing that up?

Bernie's record is longer and stronger than Hillary's on this issue.

[Warren DeMontague]

4. 100% pro-choice rating from NARAL

[riversedge]

7. Women's issues are a side issue for Bernie

[Warren DeMontague]

10. He was asked about reproductive choice and he answered about reproductive choice.

She was asked about marijuana and she bolted for the exits. Again.

[Schema Thing]

11. I don't even think that's true.

I'm pretty darn sure I've heard Bernie bring it up in a debate.

I could be wrong, but he definitely has brought it up and kept is simple "women have complete and total right to choose".

[cui bono]

20. Since when? Link to prove that statement?

And if they are so important to Hillary why is she willing to compromise on a woman's right to choose, just like a Republican?

.

[Autumn]

25. Some women go WILD! Others PUKE!!

[cui bono]

30. Bullshit. He stands for women's rights more than Hillary does.

He's not going to compromise like she said she would.

.

[Barack_America]

8. Sorry she didn't get to talk about her support for a late-term abortion ban.

[Schema Thing]

12. right?

[cui bono]

21. That's for damn sure. Truth is hard, mmkay? n/t

[Warren DeMontague]

3. Yeah, speaking of things people don't seem to want to talk about in the debates

think she'll ever actually answer a question about marijuana legalization?

Bernie gets asked about reproductive rights, he answers -well- about reproductive rights.

Hillary gets asked about marijuana, and it's childhood education, heroin addiction, fantasy football, the goodyear blimp, wolf blitzer's horoscope

[nadinbrzezinski]

6. I missed the horoscope!

[Goblinmonger]

5. Why is he fucked?

He has a 100% voting record. That makes no sense.

[Autumn]

9. Hillary "I Could Compromise on Abortion If It Included Exceptions For Mother's Health" Clinton?

yeah the champion of women's rights.

[cui bono]

19. An inconvenient truth. n/t

[Autumn]

27. Yeah, I was really hoping to hear her talk about her support for a late-term abortion ban.

Oh well maybe next time.

[cui bono]

32. Me too! I would like to hear her stances on ALL issues. ALL of her stances!

[Avalon Sparks]

13. Abortion is a wedge issue.

[Autumn]

22. Wedge issues are not just for republicans anymore, democrats seem to use them better.

[Haveadream]

14. Standing ovation for Hillary

The crowd went wild when she spoke about women's rights. Huge moment.

[Warren DeMontague]

17. The crowd also went wild when Sanders mentioned descheduling marijuana federally.

Yet for some reason she avoided that question like it was poison oak. Any idea why?

[Haveadream]

23. Probably the same reason

Bernie avoided talking about gun violence.

[Warren DeMontague]

26. He actually addressed the topic of guns.

Why do you suppose that when she's asked about marijuana she talks about heroin addiction, early childhood education, substandard chinese dog food ingredients, Neil Diamond's recording career- -- ANYTHING except the topic?

[Haveadream]

28. lol!!

You need to check out Will Ferrell's Neil Diamond schtick.


Re:pot & Hillary: I actually have no clue. To me it is a fairly benign issue but definitely not an election deal breaker.

[Warren DeMontague]

34. No, but if she wants to bring millennials to the polls and do better West of the Mississippi

it seems like a fairly obvious point that she could address, particularly given that a majority of Americans support legalization, now. And younger voters, overwhelmingly so.

There is also the fact that several states, including California, are likely to be voting to legalize in November. AND the fact that already-legal CO is an important swing state.

[Haveadream]

36. She will let it continue to be a State issue

due to concern the swing voters will move to the GOP if she steps in that. Unfortunately, the wrong half of America is still opposed. Once they understand there is significant tax revenue to be made, I anticipate a shift. Right now, in some states, the medical licenses are mostly being awarded on a quid pro quo and scooped up by monied interests...despite being touted as open lotteries. There is much money to be made and soon the GOP is not going to want to lose out on that.

[Beacool]

35. Yeah, because getting high is on the same level as women's reproductive rights.

[Warren DeMontague]

38. did I say that? No. But at least he addressed it and answered it.

She avoids the question like the plague, and perhaps not coincidentally, she polls pretty crappily both with Millennials and in legal states.

Also, while we have sick people STILL being sent to prison for using medical cannabis, it's not just "getting high", herp derp.

[basselope]

15. A shame she isn't 100% pro choice.

[JTFrog]

16. Sing it Hillary!

No one else was gonna bring it up.

[cui bono]

18. Did she say how she's willing to compromise a woman's right to control her own body?

That makes me go wild. Wild for someone other than her.

.

[beam me up scottie]

29. Probably because she didn't tell them this:

Bernie never agreed to compromise on abortion.

[brooklynite]

31. Actually, a fair amount of the applause was from men...myself included

[cherokeeprogressive]

33. Yeah! Because Bernie's one o' them pro-lifers! Oh. Wait... That's Hillary sometimes.

[Beacool]

37. I'm glad that she brought it up.

The only one's talking about reproductive rights are the Republicans, and what they are talking about is how they are going to restrict women's rights.
