Presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton emphasised her commitment to women’s rights, pointing out the contrast between Republican rival Donald Trump and herselfPreserving the right to seek and obtain an abortion will remain a key component of her presidential bid, presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton said on June 10. Speaking to the political arm of the national reproductive health and advocacy organisation Planned Parenthood, Clinton placed herself in stark contrast to her Republican rival Donald Trump, whom she portrayed as a sexist enemy of women's rights. Half of the women polled said they plan to vote for Clinton, versus 32 % for Trump. "Back to the days when abortion was illegal, women had far fewer options and life for too many women and girls was limited." According to a recent Fox News poll, 64% of US women hold an unfavourable view of Trump, compared to 49 % who dislike Clinton.
