Now, do the same for Hillary.

I believe I asked the same thing of PSM earlier in this thread. Actually, I asked her to name ONE thing Hilary has accomplished while in office. I am still waiting for that answer.
Sorry about the wait. I have a sick kid at home, so I have been hanging out with her, rather than posting.
Hillary brought a lot of attention to the fact that the FDA would not allow the Plan B, Morning After Pill, to be available to the people who need it on a non-prescription basis. The FDA wouldn't approve the drug, despite the fact that the FDA's advisory panel overwhelmingly voted to recommend the drug, quite possibly due to the influence of several religious groups. When the FDA delayed approval, Hillary called for investigations into the matter. (As things are now, the drug is non-prescription if you are over the age of 18. Girls under the age of 17 must see a doctor to get a prescription for this drug.)
Clinton introduced the Senate version of the Lifespan Respite Care Act of 2003. The legislation was designed to help give aid to home caregivers.
She also worked on ensuring the safety of prescription medicine for children. Her work is included in the Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act, which was designed to ensure that there are more clinical trials on drugs meant for children.
These things may not be important to you, but they are to me.
