"I think we have a lot of evidence it's already motivated people. I mean, in every state where abortion rights have been on the ballot, either as a natural ballot initiative or proposed constitutional amendment, women and men - thankfully because we do need the men here - have showed up and voted overwhelmingly to preserve our right to make what we believe are the right choices for ourselves and families and to make clear that the right to privacy extends to the entirety of our bodies," Clinton stated.

These policies not only jeopardize the health and well-being of all Americans but disproportionately impact women, especially those who are already vulnerable.
Clinton emphasized the urgency of the situation, stating, "Donald Trump said he's in favor of a national abortion ban. He has said he will overturn the Affordable Care Act, he will cut Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, and other parts of the safety net imperiling all of us but particularly women and particularly women who are already vulnerable including those who live in states where they no longer have."
