Re: [Dems2008] HILLARY CLINTON FOR WOMENS

As a woman and a supporter of a woman's right to choose, I appreciate your reasoning.  My question: As we know, the other democrat, who is our most likely nominee, also supports women's reproductive rights while the republican nominee does not.  Will you support the democratic nominee in the fall if that person is Barack Obama?

As women who have spent our careers fighting to protect a woman's
right to choose, we recognize that the next president will face
serious challenges to safeguard the reproductive health of women. In
our opinion, there is one candidate whose leadership on this issue
is
unparalleled: Hillary Clinton.

Hillary has been an uncompromising leader and loyal ally for each of
us in our battles to ensure and protect a woman's right to choose in
America and around the world. We know she will lead the fight for
women's health and justice because we have worked with her on these
issues for so many years.

We know Hillary will appoint Supreme Court justices who honor a
woman's right to privacy because she not only voted against John
Roberts and Sam Alito but also spoke on the Senate floor about the
threat they pose to privacy rights and Roe v. Wade in opposing their
confirmations.
We know Hillary will expand contraceptive options because she waged
a
successful three-year battle with Senator Patty Murray against the
Bush administration to make Plan B emergency contraception available
over the counter.
We know Hillary will expand fair work-family policies because we
worked with her to pass the original Family and Medical Leave Act
and
then to expand it to cover military families, to provide paid leave,
and to improve childcare.
We know Hillary will fight for access to family planning services
for
low-income women because she has fought to increase funding for
contraception and family planning through Medicaid and Title X.
We know Hillary will work to reduce the number of unplanned
pregnancies because as First Lady, Hillary helped found the National
Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancies and as Senator she spearheaded
the Prevention First Act.
We know Hillary will be mindful of the challenges that our sisters
face abroad and at home because in 1995 she bravely stood before a
global audience at the 1995 Women's Conference in Beijing and
declared
that "women's rights are human rights."
We trust Hillary Clinton because every time we needed her by our
side,
she has been there.

Let us be clear -- the stakes are high in this election. We firmly
believe that no one is better situated to confront the challenges
awaiting the next president. As a pro-choice president, Hillary
Clinton will make Supreme Court appointments and decisions ensuring
women's reproductive rights in this country.

We believe that Hillary Clinton is the best choice for president of
the United States.
