Hillary Clinton

...PP has had a long history of violence perpetrated against it. As far as I can tell that had settled down a lot when I was a kid in the 1950s-1960s, but there must have been a lot of ugliness simmering just under the surface of our apparent progress.

The opposition to abortion, contraception, and the whole gamut of women's reproductive health choices has never been about protecting women and children and has always been about sex, from Margaret Sanger's time until now. Bad, dirty, unauthorized sex. For women who have unauthorized sex, the results should always be considered their just punishment.

I know supporting PP used to be bipartisan, but somewhere along the way the GOP made some extremely cynical choices, and choosing to exploit and amplify a whole host of social issues among those frightened of change was certainly right up there on the cynicism scale.
