The video opens with the back of Meryl Streep’s head, then moves on to clips of Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Tina Fey, Laverne Cox, Kerry Washington and most of the female cast of Shonda Rhimes’s hit political drama “Scandal.”

The women, 27 in all, riff on togetherness, pay equity, workplace leadership, and, as Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards introduces, the right of women to take charge of their own bodies. At one point in the video, which is set to a percussive soundtrack, the women explain it’s their choice when to say yes — and when to say no.

“Because, duh,” comedian Jessica Williams says in the video. “Literally, duh.”

I hope they invite all of Bill’s women to discuss how they were treated by Bill and Hillary.

Let me take this opportunity to explain to young girls out there that thanks to Democrats Slavery is once again prevalent in America.

Whenever you see a hijab, remember girls, that is a slave.

“((Michelle Obama is a woman?!))”

No, but many wish “she” would come out already.

Perhaps with Dick Simmons....

‘the right of women to take charge of their own bodies’

I thought that women have had that right since Adam and Eve. I mean, women no longer have to be pregnant after having sexual intercourse, do they? I mean, women who do get pregnant, with all the contraception available, are responsible for getting pregnant, aren’t they? The Libs have the National narrative because they control Big Media. When are women Libs going to take responsibility for anything? WOMEN HAVE ALWAYS HAD CONTROL OVER THEIR BODIES. Just another manipulation by the Left that will only work with women sheeple.

>Clinton saying last night that if gun ownership is a right, then it needs to be regulated by the government.

Like h-care and schools and welfare and ...

Bring up abortion and voting though...

Unfortunately, too many of the populace are too ignorant (see skools, above) to care, presuming they heard.

If Hillary believes that the 2nd amendment needs to regulated by the government, they she believes that all the other amendments should be regulated as well.

Hillary’s thought police.
