89. HRC will NOT appoint any SC candidate that is remotely anti-choice.

Wed Mar 25, 2015, 09:32 AM

Mar 2015

Say what you will about her, that is one thing she won't budge on.

I can fight the good fight for Dodd-Frank regulation, but I have no evidence that HRC would deregulate Dodd Frank type of legislation.

But my granddaughters lives are more important. Honestly, can you say you'd potentially sacrifice the LIVES of women over what you think might happen on Wall St. deregulation? We have no specifics as far as I iknow on what HRC would do on that. We do have specific warnings from republicans on what they'd do to Roe. They have told us clearly and in no uncertain terms. You simply have to understand that simple fact. I urge you to think that through to its logical conclusion because once Roe is gone and god knows what ever else a RW SC could wreak upon us, it will be with us and our granddaughters for most of their reproductive lives. I'm sorry, but I remember the days before Roe and the way young women were literally slaughtered by self induced or back alley abortions. I will not in ANY WAY abet that happening.
