James Forman, Jr. Zitate

In court, judges tell people that their conviction carries a sentence of years, or probation. The truth is far more terrible. People convicted of crimes often become social outcasts for life, finding it difficult or impossible to rent an apartment, get a job, adopt children, access public benefits, serve on juries, or vote.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Vor Gericht sagen die Richter den Menschen, dass ihre Verurteilung zu Jahren oder Bewährung verurteilt wird. Die Wahrheit ist viel schrecklicher. Menschen, die wegen Verbrechen verurteilt wurden, werden oft zu sozialen Ausgestoßenen des Lebens. Es fällt ihnen schwer oder unmöglich, eine Wohnung zu mieten, einen Job zu bekommen, Kinder zu adoptieren, öffentliche Leistungen in Anspruch zu nehmen, bei Jurys zu dienen oder zu stimmen.

I would like to see both parties aggressively compete for the women's vote and talk about what they will do to unleash the economic power of women, to protect women's health, to provide the right policies that provide for real family stability and real family values.

I am fairly certain that my abortion position hurt me, because in a Democratic primary, where turnout is relatively low, liberal voters turn out in disproportionately large numbers and thus exercise a disproportionate influence on the outcome.
