“She is unusually young for a woman plausibly considering a presidential run, is approaching the exact age when reproductive questions become an issue…Speculation about her reproductive life will only continue — and no evasion or silence on her part will deter the pursuit of such a rich content vein. One way to handle the inevitable chatter is to seize your own narrative.”
