(71 posts)113. Women's reproductive rights are human rights
When you limit access or place restrictions on reproductive health, you endanger the health and sometimes lives of women.
It would be nice if Senator Sanders could be a more vocal advocate instead of referring to women's reproductive rights as a wedge issue.
It would be nice if Senator Sanders would not refer to Planned Parenthood as part of the establishment. When he says such things he is implying that the services Planned Parenthood provides to women and men is of little importance.
This has nothing to do with Hillary Clinton, Tim Kaine, or even Heath Mello for that matter. This is about the diminishing or trivializing of women's reproductive rights. That is simply not acceptable.

Sorry Sanders and HRC voted the same 93% of the time. Not much daylight between their records
