I am Emily, and so are you

I was doing research for a post that I'm working on and a friend sent me this link. I had heard about the fabled "I am Emily" speech, and you would think that by now I would be used to speeches like this from one of my heroes, but as I watched it the goosebumps came and my eyes welled up.


That's right. I am Emily, and so are you. Don't ever forget that.

I probably shouldn't say this, as I've been on the payroll of Emily's List before, but I wish we could stop conflating women in politics with the issue of abortion. But that's just because I'm (nominally at least) pro-life.
