Hillary Clinton At Planned Parenthood

++Hillary Clinton has spent the week successfully defining the stakes of this election. Her speech today at Planned Parenthood deal with then issue of reproduce freedoms and other family issues. 

++I welcomed a politician going into such detail about the erosion of reproductive rights and its relationship to economic inequality and issues of race. 

++She vowed not to let Donald Trump turn the clock backwards. She also reiterated the theme that this election is about who were are as a nation. 

++She mentioned Trump's attacks on Judge Curial and his slurs against people with disabilities and ethnic minorities. She also mentioned how could you trust Trump with women's issues when he wants women who had abortions punished and attacked women for being pigs,etc. She linked his attitudes toward women to other world leaders she has met whose societies control everything a woman does.

++But even though she was speaking to a friendly audience--after all they endorsed her during the primaries--her language will do her good for the general election.
