Hillary rallies protesters 25/04/2004 20:34 - (SA)
Washington - Senator Hillary Clinton on Sunday rallied protesters as they prepared to march through the US capital in support of abortion rights, and called on the activists to vote for Senator John Kerry in the upcoming presidential election.
"All the people are here today not only to march on behalf of women's lives but to take that energy into the election in November," she said told supporters of Naral, one of the largest US abortion rights groups.
"This is the beginning of what would be a long effort to try to demonstrate clearly that this administration is not just turning the clock back in every way it can on so many issues that are important to women," the senator from New York said.
"Obviously choice, but so much else and that what we need to try to communicate as clearly as possible to all women and men who are fair-minded in America that a vote for a pro-choice candidate is a vote for conscience," she said.
"It's a vote for the choice that a woman and her family can make and it's also a vote for someone who will protect economic rights and health care and so much else," she said.
Kerry, a US senator from Massachusetts, is not attending the massive protest which organizers say will draw hundreds of thousands of people, but his daughter Vanessa and two sisters were participating.
