1. powerful statement from current President of NOW

The United States needs strong, experienced and principled leadership to restore faith in our government and repair its credibility at home and abroad, and to end the destructive policies that have eroded women's rights and civil liberties and increased injustice and inequality in our society.

Senator Clinton is just such a leader. She has a long history of support for women's empowerment, and her public record is a testimony to her leadership on issues important to women in the U.S. and around the globe. She has eloquently articulated the need for full economic, political and social equality for women in every institution of society, taking action throughout her career - as a lawyer, community leader, First Lady, Senator and candidate for the presidency - to advance the civil and human rights of women and girls.

2. "the only"???

Well now that's a stretch. Tell that to every Pro Choice Senator who's been fighting the fight for all the years before Obama got to the Senate. That would include Senator Clinton. Someone needs to do better fact checking.
