However, times have changed and women’s boxing is starting to get the proper respect it should have been getting a long time ago, partly due to the successes of Olympic boxer Clarissa Shields and super bantamweight champion Heather Hardy.

However, the Republicans have strenuously pushed back against the CEO reaction, and the force of corporate activity in other states since then has diminished, although some major corporations have been active behind the scenes working to remove the worst elements of these bills. While the broad array of the nation’s chief executives who weighed in on the issue did so very much in a spirit of bipartisanship, it has become very apparent that the Republican reaction at both the federal and state level is such that there is very little hope voting rights is going to become a bipartisan issue any time soon....
Today many of the contenders are enshrouded in the mists of myth. One is that Hillary Rodham Clinton is a flaming liberal. Would that this were buttressed by the facts.
