The (recent) past is rapidly becoming another country

While searching for something completely different, found this link again in an old post. Hillary Clinton in the spring of 2009, responding to a question (in the House) about the role of U.S. government supporting access to safe abortion, contraception, maternal health care and education abroad with a vigorous defense of reproductive rights and family planning.

"Sec. Hillary Clinton Defends Reproductive Rights and Family Planning" (Watch on YouTube)

This is why "just as bad/no difference/no one knew what she was standing for/didn't do anything for others in her time of office" talk still makes me so furious.

Have you already seen this excellent article by Susan Bordo in the ZEIT? Might be relevant to your interests.

Yes, I've seen it, and agree. (BTW, was startled to realise I know the author via her Anne Boleyn writings.
