It hasn't been so many years ago that women were the property of their husbands. They couldn't own land. They couldn't vote. If a man beat his wife it was his right. We HAVE come a long way baby.

Why am I voting for Hillary Clinton? Lots of reasons but in part because in the past 7 years we have seen a woman's right to birth control challenged and the right to an abortion challenged. We fought damn hard for those rights and NO man, I don't care who he is, has the same emotional investment in those issues. So this election I vote for the person I believe will best support MY interests and the interest's of my nieces and great nieces.
