Her eight years as Senator and four years as Secretary of State were part of her campaign for President, which began in 2000 when she left the White House. These were necessary resume building.

I may be exaggerating here, and I expect few to agree with me; but the talk of Hillary Clinton as Our First Woman President began almost immediately after Bush moved into the White House, and I cannot believe that this was not her aim all along. 

I also believe that she would have made an infinitely better president than Trump - what a lame statement that is. But her campaign was gender-specific ("I'm with Her"), her policy proposals were nothing utterly conventional and unmemorable.

My point: there are more pressing issues than woman's reproductive rights. Those who put them front-and-center will not succeed.
