On a different note:
I like Hillary's stand on the following. I wish Barack would respond with his opinions:
She has championed the Prevention First Act, which expands access to family planning services for low-income women, requires health insurance companies to cover contraception, and provides a dedicated funding stream for age-appropriate, medically accurate, comprehensive sex education.
As First Lady, she helped pass the Family and Medical Leave Act and helped found the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancies, which established and achieved a goal of reducing teen pregnancies by one-third between 1996 and 2005.
In partnership with Senator Patty Murray, Hillary waged a successful three-year battle to get the Food and Drug Administration to accept the overwhelming recommendation of the medical community and make Plan B (the "morning after" pill) available over the counter.
Bush....*sigh*. I'm sure I'd like him as a neighbor. My parents were die-hard Republicans and worked on George H.W.'s campaign for senator both attempts. If anyone wants to complain about Al Qaeda being in Iraq now, they have Bush to thank. Despite the 1999 offer of refuge, Saddam Hussein
loathed Bin Laden, and the feeling was mutual, judging from Bin Laden's 2003 proclamation of Hussein as an infidel. Not that Hussein was anything resembling a decent human being, but as far as terrorism strategy, I think Bush really screwed the pooch with the Iraq invasion.
