Hillary Clinton

Perhaps it's my age and my gray hair, but I don't see what's so left-wing about Planned Parenthood. I'm old enough to remember a time when trying to give poor women access to reproductive and obstetric care was a bi-partisan matter, not a belief solely confined to Democrats and progressive.

Of course, that was before Republican opportunists invited in the Religious Right and turned the GOP into a party of social reactionaries with a public health policy "worthy" of the most squalid right-wing oligarchical dictatorships of the first half of the last century.

For the life of me I STILL don't understand why thoughtful men and women who love babies and their own children would allow obscuritan and indifferent Republican politicians to make decisions about public health.
