Tony Goldwyn's you tube video on the election- he sounds so presidential! :)

The comments show a lot of confusion but I like this reply best:

May I please have a few moments of your time? America is a very pro-rape, anti-woman nation. Here are (referenced) facts so you may verify:

1 – American girls are born into rape culture.

In America, a sexual assault occurs every 109 SECONDS – every 8 minutes, that victim is a child.

In every 1000 sexual assault cases, 344 are reported to police.

Hundreds of thousands of rape kits sit untested, some gathering dust for as long as 30 YEARS.

In every 1000 sexual assault cases, 994 perpetrators walk free – only 6 go to prison.

(And, there are still people whom ask why assaulted women don't speak up!)

Lots of lip service goes to "I love women.," but what other group whom you say you love, would you stand by and do nothing while they are being attacked every few minutes? Your family, your friends?

2 - Let’s consider pregnant American women...

"Pregnancy-associated death has become more commonly termed as pregnancy-associated homicide."

For decades in America, homicide at the hands of a husband or a boyfriend has been the #1 cause of death of American pregnant women. A year here or there, it dropped to the 2nd leading cause of death.

3 - An American woman is more likely to die delivering her baby in America, than she would be if she gave birth in 40 other countries. 40! Half of those deaths are preventable and this despite the fact that America spends more money on healthcare than any other nation.

Why aren’t women’s lives valued here?

4 – In Islamic Sharia Law, the testimony of 2 women is required to match the word of one accused man. In Trump’s America, the word of 17 women is expected to be doubted in deference to one man’s denial. Recognize what that means!

5 – There are fair-minded men and women, though. http://www.heforshe.org/en

6 – American women are THE determining voting block of this election as they were in 2012. Single women, specifically, are stepping up as protectors of each other, of our men and of our children. Rebecca Traister’s research stated here: (it’s a fun clip)

None of the above addresses wage disparity, poverty and hunger levels for women and children and a myriad of other vital issues pertaining to the health, safety and freedom of American women. But do you know whom has been working to help women?

7 - Hillary Clinton addressed the United Nations Fourth Congress on Women 20 years ago and she was the first one whom said:

“Human rights are women's rights, and women's rights are human rights."

Vote for Hillary so that American women are no longer being taxed without representation. Given the power... she'll fulfill her goal of making the country safe and fair for women. And, that's good for men, too.

In closing, I want to thank and honor the many women whom spoke up to warn us that Trump is a danger to our nation. They are as courageous and protective of our democracy as any warrior. Listen to them, respect their voices and be a sexual assault/rape-victim supporter rather than supporting the rapists:

“All evil needs to triumph is for good men to do nothing.” Edmond Burke

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Be well, Everyone! :)
