[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was excellent. She’s an inspiration. 
I worry that it’s preaching to the choir though. [/quote]

Disagree. Some of it yeah -- she's speaking to a rally full of election volunteers and committed supporters and she's going to build the crowd up. But her pitch on womens issues is not for the choir. I think her comments on womens health, how it impacts women of all ages and doesn't get the attention it deserves, and how Democrats (and specifically women) are the only ones actually listening to women on these issues and fighting for them. Beyond just abortion -- she talked about access to healthcare for girls experiencing painful periods and older women dealing with menopause. It's a broader argument on womens health and I think one that lands. Plus the way she tied this stuff to men and talked about why they should care too.

That whole argument was compelling and well articulated. Right now it's about motivating people to get to the polls and she gave people a lot of good reasons why that's worth it.[/quote]

So ridiculous. There’s plenty of health care for teen girls and post menopausal women. Just call the pediatrician or gyn. Geez the dramatics over normal bodily functions are really something else. [/quote]
Doctors are already leaving states with bans and not as many medical students are choosing residencies there.  [/quote]
