7 Fantastic Times Bernie Sanders Stood Up For Women & Their Rights

[gobears10]

Bernie Sanders has made it abundantly clear that he cares about tackling more than corporate greed, and he has proven that Hillary Clinton isn't the only feminist running for the Democratic presidential nomination. He's not only pro-choice, but also believes women should have complete control over their bodies, should make the same amount of money as men for equal work, and shouldn't have to worry about domestic or sexual violence. In the numerous times Sanders has stood up for women or otherwise said something feminist, he's demonstrated that he truly values women as equals.

Sanders recently identified himself as a feminist (which he said means that he has a commitment to fighting for women’s rights), and his stances on women's issues and equality for everyone back up the claim. He isn't shy about standing up for the other half of the population and our right to equal treatment, either — his campaign website even has a page dedicated to women's rights. The liberal presidential candidate calls out others who don't have feminist values, and has attacked Republicans for their attempts to defund Planned Parenthood and limit women's access to medical care.

Bill ran on limiting them in 1996. Hillary ran on being open to limits in 2000. Although she did vote against the 2003 ban.
