Senator Sanders is the ONLY candidate that does NOT equivocate on women's reproductive rights

A candidate that, when explaining their position on women's reproductive rights uses the tag line, "abortion should be rare", is suggesting a lack of trust of women to control their own bodies.

Bernie unequivocally states that he trusts women to control their own body.

Indeed. He has shown zero interest which is why both orgs give him a 100% approval rating. Luminous Animal Mar 2016 #7

These constant bullshit posts attacking Sanders & his supporters when there are still 50% of the delegates outstanding is just stupid and inappropriate.

Do you think you are funny? Or cute? Do you expect your chums to come in a pat you on the pack for your wit? Do you think this constant berating is going to mend any fences and unburn any bridges?

People just like you are why I will de-register from the Democratic Party next week after voting for Sanders in the primary. You are part of the very thing that I have fought against for nearly 30 years. The last time I voted in a Democratic Primary was for Jesse Jackson.

And y'all are apparently too blind to see that you need the independent leftist vote to win the GE. There are not enough minorities registered as Democrats to win it without our votes.

I doubt you give a flying fuck, and likely you will just mouth off yet again in reply to me.

Because, according to you. A member of the legislature deserves a 100% approval rating from these esteemed organizations for doing nothing.

Am I right? Are both organizations ignorant and just hand out 100% approval ratings to Democratic Socialists for doing nothing?

Or are both organizations intelligent for handing our 100% approval ratings to a Democratic Socialist because he did something?

Of the two candidates Bernie Sanders has rated 100% with PP and NARAL, EVERY YEAR, since 1993

Clinton's is a 100% since 1996.

To claim that he has had "zero interest" is disingenuous bullshit and you should be ashamed of yourself for hate-mongering against Sanders like that. He has obviously been very vocal for decades.
