The 17-year-old from Cape Elizabeth High School in Maine asked Carly Fiorina the last question in a 48-minute town hall meeting at the confab: “Ms. Fiorina, how do you call yourself a feminist if you are taking away my basic right as a woman to choose what to do with my body?” Pause. There were actually 16 seconds of unenthusiastic pauses while Fiorina just stood there holding the microphone during sustained applause. “So you know what,” she said interrupting the handclapping. “I’m not trying to take it away. You have that right realistically. This is political rhetoric, but let me tell you something. Let me tell you why I’m pro life.”
