Every crime is a danger to Americans' lives and liberty.
Hate crimes are more than assault on people, they are assaults on the very idea of America.
They should be punished with extra force. Protections should include hate violence based on gender, disability, or sexual orientation. The Democratic Party stands behind the right of every woman to choose, consistent with Roe v. Wade, and regardless of ability to pay. This year's Supreme Court rulings show to us all that eliminating a woman's right to choose is only one justice away. That's why the stakes in this election are as high as ever.
