Talk of whether or not the U.S. is prepared to elect women leaders "takes me back," 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton told an audience in New York on Monday, praising the resolve of that state's female elected officials for getting legislation passed to protect women's reproductive rights.
.......................................

"But today I want to thank all of you for your persistence," Clinton said of several women officials at the event. "I know many of you and can attest as to how smart, determined, effective and, dare I say, likable you all are."........................



Clinton delivered her remarks at an event at Barnard College to announce Gov. Andrew Cuomo's agenda to codify Roe v. Wade protections into New York state law. Cuomo, a Democrat whose name has also been floated as a potential 2020 candidate, is pushing to have his Reproductive Health Care Act pass New York's state legislature within the chamber's first 30 days.

"When it comes to getting all of this done," Clinton said of the governor's initiative, "I believe the vision of the people and groups here today, the commitment of public servants in the Legislature and the courage of candidates who ran on these issues, coupled with the determination of Gov. Cuomo, will prove to be an unstoppable combination."
