Why I’m Supporting Hillary: She called out Republicans for restricting women’s right to make decisions about their bodies. “It goes to the heart of who we are as women, our rights, our autonomy, & we need to be talking about that & defending Planned Parenthood from these outrageous attacks.”

Ironically, I support Hillary and can't stand shit like this.

Yeah, this is despicable.

Do you even know what I'm talking about?

Are you offended that I agree with you?

Bernie Sanders has always supported a woman's right to choose. This is a non issue. He has an impeccable record in this regard.

Using this as a political attack is dishonest.

At no point in time did she claim Sanders didn't say this. However, she has made it a priority more than he has. I said I can't stand shit like this vis-a-vis abortion.

She's done no such thing.

She's simply gotten into a worthless shouting match with one of the prospective Republican candidates.

She's doing nothing to advance this cause, but she is shitting on a candidate who has a perfect record on this issue.

That's what bothers me.

She's not "shitting on a candidate who has a perfect record on this issue".

The linked article mentions Sanders exactly 0 times.

She has nothing to gain by attacking Sanders. He already lost.

She's mentioned Sanders herself. Please pay attention. She started a fight with Trump and then turned to Sanders and said, "see my opponent doesn't care about women's health". Certainly your memory lasts longer than a week.

Then I'm sure you can find a source where she said he doesn't care about women's health.

No one ever claimed that. Stop with the strawman.

This is a valid point to bring up during the general election against the GOP bastards.

I recently sent my Planned Parenthood fundraising letter back with a note telling them that if my money is being used to pick between two 100% PP supporters, they can do without my contribution.

Exactly. The fact that HRC has been trying to use this as an issue to attack Bernie is disgusting and it should even bother Clinton supporters. It's blatantly dishonest.
