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.

It's interesting, at least one switch I've seen in the liberal electorate is the seizing of the states' rights mandate -- which the right has used for a long, long time. California and MA declaring they're not going to stop their policies of being safe havens especially. And if people are energized now to do stuff at the state level, maybe that could lead to a popular-winner-take-all change.
