Hillary's stance on Women's rights

[freshwest]

18. And 51% of the population knows. Women's rights promote peace.

After witnessing the impact of President Bush's reinstatement of the Global Gag Rule, Michelle Goldberg, journalist, author, and long-time critic of the Bush Administration's policies on sexual and reproductive health, decided that a book about the global battle for reproductive justice was long overdue.

So she wrote The Means of Reproduction: Sex, Power, and the Future of the World. [17]

The cover art depicting a woman holding the Earth on her shoulders is more than appropriate for this deeply-researched, historically-informed examination: fifty years worth of research about four continents has convinced Goldberg that women's oppression is at the crux of many of the world's most intractable challenges. She illustrates how US policies act as a catalyst for or an impediment to women's rights worldwide, and puts forth a convincing argument that women's liberation worldwide is key to solving some of our most daunting problems.

"Underlying diverse conflicts - demography, natural resources, human rights, and religious mores - is the question of who controls the means of reproduction," she writes. "Women's intimate lives have become inextricably tied to global forces."

The war on women is not just a war on women, but on men, too. Men who don't support women's rights are sealing their own fate.

Not just an American problem. It is about global control and reducing all of mankind to commodities.

Let's not kid ourselves, the wars of the world are the product of the wombs of the world being abused by those who seek power. By using women to make cannon fodder and act as an unpaid labor force or as slaves.

If one wants peace, income equality, social justice and to save the environment, the way to get it is to empower women in terms of their own bodies and lives. That is why they are under such dire attack today, from the Koch GOP media in the USA promoting feudal fantasies and laws to the Daesh and the Boko Harum.

This is the backdoor issue some disregard as it does not fit their ideology. If one cannot embrace the giving the power progressives in the 70s and beyond, and what Hillary has striven to give in basic women's rights, they are dead to the real revolution.

Because this is a new paradigm and it is a global revolution, but it is not given the attention it deserves. We cannot ignore the half of the world population that just so happens to be female.

JMHO.
