Warren Encourages Bernie

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) praised her colleague Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) for his presidential efforts, saying he shouldn’t drop out of the race despite trailing frontrunner Hillary Clinton.

‘‘He’s out there. He fights from the heart. This is who Bernie is,’’ Warren said Thursday, according to the AP. ‘‘He has put the right issues on the table both for the Democratic Party and for the country in general so I’m still cheering Bernie on.’’

Save it on the Huff...and they claim she will announce her endorsement...not timeline.

It is a lot closer than they thought....

HRC might be winning - can't say for sure just yet - but I am proud that my money goes toward a true candidate for the common man and woman. And he is close in many of the races...I am proud to stand with Bernie.

I will stand with him to the bitter end with my money and my hope.

Hillary Clinton Supports Limits on Abortion Access

From the Fox Townhall - Clinton clarified that although she believes in allowing woman access to abortions...she has limitations on that right.

"No, I have been on record in favor of a late pregnancy regulation that would have exceptions for the life and health of the mother. I object to the recent effort in Congress to pass a law saying after 20 weeks, you know, no such exceptions, because although these are rare, Bret, they sometimes arise in the most complex, difficult medical situation."

So today pandering to us women she limits it to 20 weeks...tomorrow pandering to conservatives will she move it to 12 weeks and only in the case of rape.....

She is deeply religious and really believes that the Government has a right to limit women's rights. Well I say keep the GOVERNMENT's reach out of my vagina.

Hillary is no feminist.


And Bernie - what does he believe? Here you go...

It’s not a question of me being “okay”…Let me be very clear about it. I know not everybody here will agree with me. I happen to believe that it is wrong for the government to be telling a woman what to do with her own body. I think, I believe, and I understand there are honest people. I mean, I have a lot of friends, some supporters, some disagree. They hold a different point of view, and I respect that. But that is my view.



I’ll tell you something which I don’t like in this debate. There are a whole lot of people out there who tell me the government is terrible, government is awful, get government off our backs. My Republican friends want to cut Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare — Medicaid, education. But somehow on this issue, they want to tell every woman in America what she should do with her body.

Well, again, let me put this in context, because it’s an important question. Right now the Supreme Court is considering a decision that would shut down a lot of the options for women in Texas, and there have been other legislatures that have taken similar steps to try to restrict a woman’s right to obtain an abortion. Under Roe v. Wade, which is rooted in the Constitution, women have this right to make this highly personal decision with their family in accordance with their faith, with their doctor. It’s not much of a right if it is totally limited and constrained. So I think we have to continue to stand up for a woman’s right to make these decisions, and to defend Planned Parenthood, which does an enormous amount of good work across our country.
