Can someone translate liberal speak for me?

What is she saying?

“My accomplishments as Secretary of State? Well, I'm glad you asked! My proudest accomplishment in which I take the most pride, mostly because of the opposition it faced early on, you know… the remnants of prior situations and mindsets that were too narrowly focused in a manner whereby they may have overlooked the bigger picture and we didn't do that and I'm proud of that. Very proud. I would say that’s a major accomplishment.”

Hillary Clinton 11 March 2014

    There were many issues this being only one of them that politicians weren't addressing but skirting around this being only one of the hot button issues that Bill & Hillary were brave enough to address.

    Depending on your bias it was a issue that may or may not have been politically acceptable.

    They at least tried to address and not side step a thorny issue even to this day.

    1980s: pro-choice since Bible defines life starting at birth. (Jul 2007)

    1993: Undid draconian family planning policies. (Jun 2007)

    Roe v. Wade was the right decision. (Jun 2004)

    Vetoed partial birth abortion ban for having no exceptions. (Dec 2003)

    Reversed global gag order on family planning. (Nov 2003)

    1993: allowed abortions on overseas U.S. military bases. (Sep 2003)

    Require Medicaid to pay for abortions for poor women. (Aug 1996)

    Revoke Mexico City Policy: family planning ok in foreign aid. (Aug 1996)

    Let women decide with their doctor and their God. (Jan 1996)

    There were also other issues of the day opinionated and some were controlled by religious factions that they addressed. Not all issues were laid to rest but at least they were brought into the social media and spoken about opening and not just given behind the scenes useless lip service.

    They the Clintons weren't necessarily given applauds by all as many issues involved long held biases by certain parts of society in work job and life issuses
