11th Democratic Primary Debate: on Families & Children

Bernie Sanders: Half of Americans are women; and half my Cabinet will be

Bernie Sanders: My Cabinet will look like America. Over half of the people in America are women and that will be the representation in my Cabinet and my administration. And in terms of policies, I have consistently believed that it is a women's right to control her own body, not the government's. I have believed that we have got to deal with domestic violence in this country. I have made the case that we cannot have women in America earning 80 cents on the dollar compared to men. We need to have universal, affordable, high-quality childcare, so women who are single or married can go off to work and know that their kids are going to be well taken care of. So I think my agenda is very strong agenda in fighting for the rights of women.

Joe Biden: I commit it that if I'm elected President, my Cabinet will look like the country. And I commit that I'll pick a woman to be Vice President.
