Young women are not as enthusiastic as older women are about Hillary Clinton because they just donât care enough about the abortion issue, Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz said in an interview with The New York Times.
The Florida congresswoman also asserted that sheâs been on the receiving end of harsh criticism over her leadership style because sheâs a woman.
One of the themes of the Democratic primary race so far is the support among young voters for Clintonâs main Democratic rival, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders . But in addition to the generational divide is a gender disparity. More young women are supporting Sanders than are supporting Clinton.
According to a poll released last month by Harvardâs Institute of Politics, 40 percent of women aged 18 to 29 support the 73-year-old Sanders. Thirty-eight said they support Clinton. The gender-generation gap was also the subject of a New York Times article published last month.
Goldwater married an UBER LEFTIST WOMAN!
Man if abortions were done with guns, liberals would be the biggest 2a supporters around.
Mostly on the East Coast that is filled with New Yorkers and New Jerseyites.....screaming banshees in every store including the grocery stores!! Four out of five abortions in NYC are black or Hispanic babies.
Democrats, It’s what’s in their pants.
We are already in that situation and have been since 1973. Read Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton sometime. A mother can have here child killed for any reason or no reason at all up until birth as long as the killing is committed by a licensed physician. It's abortion-killing on demand.
As we have discussed on this thread, I believe that Donald Trump's antics have given many Americans the incentive to take a second, and more realistic, look at the question of immigration. Perhaps people would do so on the question of abortion if more of our candidates were willing to talk about it.
All of which goes a long way to explaining Mrs. Clinton's sentiments in Post 22.
And please allow me to add something:
I have not picked a candidate yet. There are things that I like about Donald Trump, but now that George Pataki is gone, he is clearly the least dependable candidate when it comes to the abortion fight.
As recently as this summer he told reporters that his sister would make a "phenomenal" Supreme Court Justice.
Maryanne Trump Barry is the New Jersey Circuit Court judge who called a law against partial birth abortion "a desperate attempt to undermine Roe v. Wade."
Like a lot of people, Mr. Trump seems to have evolved his position on abortion, and I commend him for this. But I need to hear more about his plans to address this subject before I will seriously consider voting for him in a primary.
Folks just don’t have time to support abortion rights any more . . . they are too too busy making sure that boys can use girl’s bathrooms. It’s a priority issue.
"... Like many other states, the state of Nevada has chosen to restrict abortion in the last trimester by only permitting abortions if "there is a substantial risk that the continuance of the pregnancy would endanger the life of the patient or would gravely impair the physical or mental health of the patient."[1]
But this restriction is a restriction in name only. For the Supreme Court so broadly defined 'health' in Roe's companion decision, Doe v. Bolton (1973), that for all intents and purposes the current law in every state except Missouri and Pennsylvania (where the restrictions allowed by Webster have been enacted into law) allows for abortion on demand.
In Bolton the court ruled that 'health' must be taken in its broadest possible medical context, and must be defined 'in light of all factorsâphysical, emotional, psychological, familial, and the woman's age-relevant to the well being of the patient. All these factors relate to health'[2]
Since all pregnancies have consequences for a woman's emotional and family situation, the court's health provision has the practical effect of legalizing abortion up until the time of birth-if a woman can convince her physician that she needs the abortion to preserve her 'emotional health.'
This is why the Senate Judiciary Committee, after much critical evaluation of the current law in light of the court's opinions, concluded that "no significant legal barriers of any kind whatsoever exist today in the United States for a woman to obtain an abortion for any reason during any stage of her pregnancy."[3]
A number of legal scholars have come to the same conclusion, offering comments and observations such as the following:
In actual effect, Roe v. Wade judicially created abortion on demand in the United States.[4]The concept of 'health,' as defined by the Supreme Court in Doe v. Bolton, includes all medical, psychological, social, familial, and economic factors which might potentially inspire a decision to procure an abortion. As such, 'health' abortion is indistinguishable from elective abortion. Thus, until a more narrow definition of 'health' is obtained, it may not be possible to limit effectively the number of abortions performed.[5]
After viability the mother's life or health (which presumably is to be defined very broadly indeed, so as to include what many might regard as the mother's convenience...) must, as a matter of constitutional law, take precedence over...the fetus's life...[6] (emphasis in original).
It is safe to say, therefore, that in the first six months of pregnancy a woman can have an abortion for no reason, but in the last three months she can have it for any reason. This is abortion-on-demand."
Abortion - What is Legal in the U.S. and Why?
Cordially,
CA is No. 1; FL, No. 3, in another list.
Jindal helped perhaps inadvertently to groom a liberal Democrat as his successor; like GWB did with Obama. Jindal refused to endorse Republican David Vitter in the 2015 governor’s race.
FL is I believe some 48,000 in 2011, probably the majority in the southern portion of the state.

Wyoming has no abortion clinics, according to the above. It suggests going to Boulder, CO.
If I were a Dem, I’d be begging her to not represent my side of any argument in any public manner, LOL
