Read Hillary's response to Donald Trump's outrageous comments this
week. Many people are writing and reporting on this story, but these
are
Hillary's own words. Media source can spin stories. This is directly from Hillary Clinton - unspun!
All
of the Republican frontrunners for president want to make abortion
illegal. Now Donald Trump has said how he’d enforce that prohibition:
punishing women and doctors.
Donald
Trump can try to distance himself from his comments all he wants. But
we all heard what he said. As Maya Angelou said, “When people show you
who they are, believe them.”
Donald Trump keeps showing us who he is. We should believe him.
But
it’s important to remember that he’s not alone. Donald Trump is just
saying what Republican politicians across the country believe — everyone
who has signed and voted for laws to defund Planned Parenthood, force
women to undergo invasive and medically unnecessary procedures before
ending a pregnancy, mandate that doctors recite misleading information
to patients, and shutter every abortion provider for miles. These are
laws that are meant to shame women and block their access to health
care. That’s their purpose.
We don’t need to imagine the consequences of these laws. It’s unfolding right before our eyes.
Whenever
politicians become involved in deciding whether, when, and how a woman
becomes a mother, it’s not just degrading — it’s dangerous. Few
decisions are more sacred or intensely personal, and women deserve to
make them for ourselves.
Here’s
the good news: While Donald Trump is a bully, voters will have our say
at the ballot box. So if you disagree with his comments, you’ve got to
vote. Vote like your health and rights depend on it. Because they do.
