I can name one thing one of our Senators has done. Hillary Clinton has continually voted for keeping women's rights. Which actually properly represents the general feeling of our state. I believe that to be an accomplishment, actually 2. To vote consistently on an issue, and to represent her constituents ( ... )

The federal deficit is decreasing thanks to the tax rate cut

Here is the story

And thanks to unrealistic numbers that fail to take into account previous shortfalls, making the growth prediction completely inaccurate, along with not taking the cost of the war into account properly.

According to the article you linked, anyways. Do you even read this stuff?

Its still falling despite all that.

No, it's estimated to fall, assuming current trends continue and current numbers are accurate. That's not quite the same thing.

What women's rights has she voted for? Where have they been in danger due to legislation?

Consistency here is destroyed by her consistency on Iraq.

Embryonic stem cell research has nothing to do with the rights of women. It can be collected from the placenta we don't need abortions for it.

Parents should know since they are responsible for the child's actions. Nothing to do with wonen's rights.

Giving kids contraceptives is not the answer to reducing teen pregnancy. Children are not women.

There should be a law for harming a fetus of a pregnant woman. Its morally reprehensible to hurt pregnant women and it should be punished severely. Nothing to do with women's rights. This is a moral issue.

Partial Birth abortions should be banned. Not a women's right. This is a moral issue.

Pro-choice does not equal womens rights. Womens rights involve discrimination in the work place and yadayadayada.

Placentas come from sex between a man and woman

REsponsible decisions need to be made. If teens aka kids aren't willing to buy condoms then ehtey should be having sex period.

I agree it has to do with validating a fetus but it is beyond reprehensible to hurt a pregnant woman.

for partial birth abortions your saying Hillary voted wrong.

The fetus is a shared responsibility between the man and woman. If a man is expected to pay child support then he should have a say in whether that child is born or not. 2 people are needed to create the fetus. There are no immaculate conceptions.
