HILLARY CLINTON WOULD APPOINT SUPREME COURT JUSTICES WHO WOULD PROTECT ROE V WADE

Las Vegas, NV -- Tonight, Hillary Clinton underscored her commitment to ensure that all americans are protected by the Supreme Court. With the balance of the Supreme Court at stake in this election, Hillary Clinton knows the importance of Roe v. Wade,

“I strongly support Roe v. Wade, which guarantees a constitutional right to women to make the most intimate, most difficult in many cases, decisions about her healthcare that one can imagine,” Clinton argued when asked by moderator Chris Wallace. “So many states are putting very stringent regulations on women that block them from exercising that choice . . . We have come too far to have that turn back now.”

Hillary Clinton has been a longtime supporter of Roe v. Wade.

In her 2000 run for U.S. Senate, Clinton said that supporting abortion rights would be a litmus test for judges: The Associated Press reported in 2000, “Hillary Rodham Clinton says that if elected to the Senate, she would vote against anti-abortion judges who are nominated for appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court….The first lady said that the way Supreme Court vacancies are filled in the next administration will emerge as a theme of her campaign.

2016 / Hillary Clinton Awesomely Defended Abortion Rights at the Debate
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vogue.com/article/hillary-clinton-roe-v-wade-third-debate/amp

The most stirring, powerful, and historic moment of the third presidential debate (maybe any debate this cycle) came early when Hillary Clinton awesomely stood up for a woman’s right to an abortion.
Male politicians regularly debate, and legislate, on the topic of what women should and should not be able to do with their own bodies; but for the first time in history, a woman was the one doing the talking—and it made all the difference.

And even when Trump responded by spewing gross misinformation and scare tactics (“It’s terrible; if you go with what Hillary is saying, in the ninth month, you can take the baby and rip the baby out of the womb…”), Clinton stood in her power, delivering a stern reply. “That is not what happens in these cases and using that kind of scare rhetoric is terribly unfortunate,” she said. “I’ve been to countries where governments either force women to have abortions like they used to do in China and force women to bear children like they used to do in Romania, and I can tell you the government has no business in the decisions that women make, with their families, in accordance with their faith, with medical advice. I will stand up for that right.”

Where was Media?
Still they ran a 24/7 promo ad campaign for a mobbed up TV celebrity & failed businessman, a man who degraded every woman he crossed paths with as a sexual tool, & a candidate who prided himself in publishing his personal deep thoughts on "Rape Fantasies".

Here she stood, defending Roe v Wade again & again, because she knew the threat of its existance would rest with the Supreme Court.


The casual approach by those who ground her name into the dirt on a daily basis ignored all that was hard fought for so many years.

Today is a sad reminder of 2016.

How many times does this have to be repeated!
This was in 1995, ffs.

1. The Jill Stein "conscience" voters

have this blood on their hands. I will never forget nor forgive.

[Claustrum]

4. Yes. I can never understand them.

I was one of the non-voters before 2016 but Trump was so unqualified it made me a frequent voter after. I was in my mid 30s when I first voted for Hillary. I can never understand how people don't see that.

[DURHAM D]

9. Same here. nt

[betsuni]

27. They can delude themselves all they want, that was an anti-Hillary vote, nothing else.

That election was about one person, Hillary, who was turned into a cartoon villain. Shame on every public figure and elected official who promoted hateful lies about the Democratic Party and Hillary, and their followers for being gullible and not doing their own research or thinking for themselves. Feeling hate and anger is more fun than thinking, apparently.

[Claustrum]

2. Because they wanted a horse race for viewers and click.

And Trump is entertaining for them. They thought Hillary would have easily won. A lot of them were as shocked as we were when Trump got elected.

[moose65]

23. That's true

I think, right? The people in the media were so sure that Clinton was going to win, so they focused on Trump 24/7, never realizing that they elevated him just enough to win in those three crucial states.

I've heard the same thing said over and over and over - even TRUMP himself didn't expect to win. When he went to the White House a few days after the election, he did not look like a happy, triumphant candidate. He looked like the proverbial deer in headlights - absolutely terrified.

[Claustrum]

25. I still remember when they were pronounced the winner late on election night.

All of them were shocked not in a "we finally did it way" but "WTF, did that really happened" way. He looked so uncomfortable as in "what did I get myself into?", and "I am in way over my head".

Of course, he soon realize he has the power to order other people to do the actual work while he just watch TV and say outrage things, which isn't much change from his previous days but a lot more power under his belt.

[dalton99a]

3. Yep.

[PlanetBev]

5. I believe they would have figured out a way to block any and all of of Hilary's nominees

And impeached her as soon as they had the chance. The only silver lining to 2016 is that Trump got impeached….twice.

[inthewind21]

8. There is NO silver lining

to Trumps term. Period.

[Demsrule86]

11. Really? Well they wouldn't have gotten any either...these so called justices will spend decades

on the court and the idea that it was OK to disregard the courts in 16 and vote against Hillary Clinton is completely wrong. As another poster said...such voters have blood on their hands. Personally, I will never forgive them or forget them.

[Demsrule86]

13. An impeached president can still appoint judges. And they never had the votes to convict...I expect

every president will be impeached from now on...it is meaningless. Trump was a complete disaster and I really find this post offensive...there is no silver lining period.

[yardwork]

16. I don't see how Trump being impeached made any difference at all.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

6. Control of the SCOTUS was on the ballot in 2016 as well as the fate of Roe v. Wade and VRA

I listened to the oral arguments and I am depressed. Roe will be effectively overruled.

Susan Sarandon, Jill Stein, Michael Moore, and their ilk are responsible for the elimination of the right to abortion. These idiots helped to elect TFG and now the right to abortions will be eliminated

[inthewind21]

7. No they aren't

The people who voted because they listened to them are responsible. It's well past time to stop blaming everyone BUT those responsible. And that is voters. If you're going to give the Dems who voted third party in 2016 a pass and blame it on MM, SS, JS etc. then you must also give all the anti vaxxers a pass because by that logic it's all Tucker Carlson's fault. Newsflash, control of the supreme court has been on the ballot for years. It was just dismissed and assumed "that could never happen." Surprise!

15. BS. 2016 was an assault on every woman who came before, and will follow.

Hillary Clinton was flat out ignored, degraded, re-imaged by 2 old white men who both had gross past issues demeaning the female race.
Those issues were brushed off. No big deal they all responded when confronted.


No one in 2016 who railed against the warnings & wisdom of this one woman should be standing proudly today defending their reasons for joining in the Media's lynching of the only woman who was there to save us from such demise that we stare at this day.

How's that revolution going for us all?
Is it Burned Down enough for ya'll yet?

Happy?

[comradebillyboy]

21. Exactly right. nt

[betsuni]

26. Yes, I'd like to know how the big revolution is doing.

[thucythucy]

18. I blame them all

to varying degrees.

Blaming one set of contemptable misogynists or sociopathic greedsters doesn't exclude blaming others.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

29. guess who could've prevented #scotus judges from overturning roe v wade

Link to tweet

[LetMyPeopleVote]

30. You are wrong

[Budi]

10. Not one of them have the will,nor strength of purpose to do again, what it oncetook to make Roe Law.

They didn't give 2 shits about Roe then, & they don't now either.

I think of the years, those who marched, pleaded, & inch by inch the small battles we won, just to make it to the day when Roe became law. Finally.

And it was taken for granted & dismissed by a generation who was then, in 2016, simply tasked to protect & preserve for generations who came after them.

Did all that difficult work a generation did in bringing Roe forward, mean so little to those who were tasked to now protect its future?

Women of the MEDIA, Where were you?
What story did you settle on chasing while the warnings of Roe & the SC were blaring all around you?

Where were you Susan Sarandon? Jill Stein? Brihana Joy Grey? Nina Turner?

What tf were YOU doing?

[Demsrule86]

12. I would like to say this...a giant FU to Stein, Grey, Sarandon and Turner...wishing karma on all

of them...really don't know how any of them sleep at night after that they did....700,000 dead and courts went right for decades. We won't just lose Roe either folks. We will lose LGBTQ rights and most likely contraceptives as well as other rights which are dependent on Roe.

[Budi]

17. Thank you for you post. This day is a humanitarian tragedy

They should all stay silent & hide their faces in shame.

[FakeNoose]

19. You forgot the FU to the Bernie Bros

Perhaps Bernie himself understood the ramifications of what was coming, I don't know. But the Bernie Bro supporters who left in a snit and failed to support the ONLY candidate who could have prevented this from happening. THEY were the adolescents who turned their noses up at Hillary. Aren't they proud of themselves now?

I will NEVER understand why they refused to vote for Hillary in 2016 when it really would have made a difference.

[comradebillyboy]

24. Sanders is every bit as culpable as all of those

staffers he hired like David Sirota, Bri Bri Gray and Nina Turner who refused to support our nominee.

[betsuni]

28. +1

[mzmolly]

14. Not to mention the Bush years.

eom

[Hekate]

20. The fights here were epic & then DU got assassinated. DU recovered; the country, not so much. nt

[MineralMan]

22. We missed a golden opportunity. More's the pity.

[brooklynite]

31. And many (esp. non-college) women chose not to vote for her...
