(15,279 posts)43. Psychologist highlights Hillary's advocacy for children and families

The 4-paragraph rule prevents me from posting everything this piece points out about her early study and advocacy of issues that affect children (even before she went to law school, after law school, and during her years in Arkansas before becoming first lady or Senator).
Here are a few examples:
In 1977, Hillary co-founded and drew up the articles of incorporation for the Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families--a group that for almost four decades fought for expanded opportunities in early education, juvenile justice reform, and increased state funding for child health care.
Once Bill Clinton became governor in 1979 Hillary became a board member of the Arkansas Children's Hospital, where she helped set up the state's first neonatal nursery while she was pregnant with Chelsea.
She sponsored supporting legislation in such areas as the safety of prescription drugs for children (included in the Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act)
She worked to strengthen the Children's Health Insurance Program to increase coverage for children in low-income working families, and she advocated efforts to address environmental hazards in schools.
