My Support for Women's Rights

1.  I support the Declaration on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women and I would support its ratification in the United States, one of the few countries in the world where it has not been ratified.  
2.  I support the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay law which makes companies compensate women fairly.
3.  I volunteered in the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton and I have supported other female candidates for public office.
4.  I will not insult the Girl Scouts or rape victims the way some Republicans have.
5.  I will not try to make contraception illegal.  I support reproductive rights for women.  I may be the only pro-choice candidate in the race, but I support the right of those who want to be pro-life as long as they support the rights of those who want to be pro-choice.  I believe that a person can only be pro-life if and only if they oppose all abortions all of the time without exceptions.  I do not consider Mitt Romney and many other Republicans to be pro-life because they will not take this stand.
