In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton Answer On Abortion Leaves 'Pro-Life' Senator Speechless [View all]PeaceNikki
(27,985 posts)I have explained why I take people to task for the way they phrase/frame it because abortion rights are being attacked in epic proportions. I strongly and passionately feel that the left needs to stand up firmly and strongly on abortion rights as well as access to education and contraception.
I'm discussing the use of the phrase "safe, legal and rare" because I feel strongly that the frequency is not a problem. Lack of access to it is. The party removed the phrase from our platform years ago with good reason. I've detailed the issue I have with it repeatedly, including here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=6527478
I am discussing specifically with you because, you said, "Other options should be so easily used that we never get that far down the list of options." Bolding mine because, like the word "rare", that jumped out at me.
