Love that Hill. She found a way to support women's right/human rights even if the Dems stole the presidency from her. Thank the Lord we have someone in this failed administration who is actually working FOR the people.

God bless Hillary Clinton. She didn't forget her promises and I believe she truly, truly wants to fight for women everywhere. It is a priority for her. I still shake my head in amazement at the hatred displayed for her by other women. Can they not SEE with their own eyes that she cares about the plight of women everywhere? Do they not KNOW she is fighting for them? Apparently not and that is sad. But, I will always respect Hillary Clinton for the fine job she has done not only for our government but for women everywhere.
