Kathleen Turner
Actress, Activist



Forty three years ago next week, the Supreme Court declared abortion a fundamental right, and forever preserved a woman's right to make her own decisions about her health. Yet today, just two weeks before the Iowa caucuses, the Republican front-runner in that state has vowed to invalidate this Supreme Court ruling. When asked if he would even attempt to use the 14th Amendment to rob American women of this sacred right, Ted Cruz replied: "Absolutely, yes."

Cruz is not alone in holding these extreme positions. ..................

As the Chairman of Planned Parenthood's Board of Advocates, the stakes in this election are higher than I've ever seen in a lifetime of waging these fights. Views that used to exist only on the fringes of the Republican Party have become mainstream dogma.

...................................

Planned Parenthood has issued its first-ever primary endorsement of Hillary because she's been fighting for women and families her entire life. In Arkansas, she launched the first rape crisis hotline in the state. In the Senate, she fought tirelessly for reproductive rights, access to birth control, and sex education. And as Secretary of State, women's health and women's rights were the centerpiece of her agenda.

All that experience means that Hillary has the skills and the scars that no one else can match. She is the strongest, most qualified candidate for the office of president that I have ever encountered. But in an election, she'll only be as powerful as those who stand with her.

So as our more of our friends and neighbors begin tuning into this election, let's make sure they understand everything that's on the line. Let's organize for her, caucus for her, and vote for her.

And if anyone wonders why they should go through the trouble, we'll have a simple answer ready: It's now possible to envision a world where our daughters and granddaughters have fewer rights than we did. With Hillary, we can make sure that bad dream never comes true.

I would like to think O'Malley is not just a staunch supporter, but an advocate as well. I have not been shown otherwise.

Bernie has a,secret plan to overturn Rowe v Wade and defund Planned Parenthood.

It's a pact between he and OMalley
