Clinton Calls Out Debate Moderators For Ignoring Women’s Health [View all]

There have been nine Democratic debates so far, and “not one question” about reproductive rights.

?cache=joehdoycs9

Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) met in Brooklyn, New York, on Thursday for the ninth Democratic debate, and once again, the moderators asked zero questions about abortion or women’s reproductive rights.

The Democratic candidates haven’t received a single question on the issue during any of their debates.

Clinton on Thursday called out the media for its oversight, saying the issue was a central one that the candidates need to talk about.

“We’ve had eight debates before; this is our ninth. We’ve not had one question about a woman’s right to make her own decisions about reproductive health care — not one question,” Clinton said.
