If it’s racist, it’s racist. If it’s anti-Semitic, it’s anti-Semitic. If it’s anti-women, it’s anti-women. If it’s anti-immigrant, it’s anti-immigrant, and we need to really strengthen our language, so that it is clear and not mushy.

The American people are beginning to see the Republicans’ willingness to trample over 200 years of history, to step on the minority, to push everybody out of the way because they want 100 percent. It’s rubbing the American people the wrong way. One-party rule is not good.

In the early stages of a pregnancy, the Government cannot intervene with a woman’s right to choose. That is it, plain and simple. Guess what. We are not going to be big brother or sister, as the case may be. We are going to allow a woman, her doctor, and her God to make that decision.
