Clinton Uses Trump's Abortion Comments to Hit Sanders.

Clinton similarly knocked Sanders for this in a follow-up interview with Maddow on Wednesday. "To think that this is an issue that is not deserving of reaction just demonstrates a lack of appreciation for how serious this is. This goes to the heart of who we are as women, what kind of rights and choices we have, it certainly is as important as any economic issue," she said.

A Sanders campaign spokesman did not respond to Clinton's comments directly, but said "Sen. Sanders has a 100 percent lifetime voting record defending a woman's right to choose and will do all that he can to protect and expand that right if elected president."

1. And she thus shits on every woman who has dealt with hassles related to having an abortion.

She's reaching Trump-level dishonesty now.

2. Hillary "I Could Compromise on Abortion" Clinton, how low will she go?

"I could compromise on abortion"

3. Rachel's and Hill's pants should have burst into flames. Disgusting. nt

[Jackie Wilson Said]

6. Why Rachel's?

13. Listen to Nicole Sandler. In the 1st half hour she perfectly describes what I saw and thought.

And many others came to the same conclusion: re: Rachel's effort to minimize Sanders' comments on Trump's punish the woman statements, that Sanders does not give a woman's right to choose respect as a serious issue and Trump's comments were no big deal.

What made it really bad was Rachel puts herself out as being a great journalist (the old Rachel certainly was) not this weak tea we've been served.......or disserved.

Rachel's Clinton interview would also have been the perfect opportunity to ask Ms. Clinton about this: http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511614277 but she didn't.

Sandler even monitored the amount of time given to the interviews of Clinton vs. Sanders......only 1/2 hour interview for Sanders (not an hour). That the last half hour was spent fabricating, mocking and generally being dishonest about the interview as well as Sanders and his campaign. Real kindergarten-level behavior on display. That portion I also saw. MSNBC, Sandler said, did not put up the clip but there is a person who recorded the audio portion and she hopes they make it available so more people can hear them yipping it up. I haven't had the time myself to look for it.

But I digress, some will probably not see the same biasness that I saw. I know bull when I see it and Rachel was covered in it.

And to be fair, the behavior seems to be viral.

Here's Sandler:

Tell me what you think or what conclusions you draw.

4. But didn't Hillary just say she was willing to consider "restrictions" on abortions?

Which way is the windsock flapping today?

15. Today's windsock forecast:

Vortex winds

[EndElectoral]

5. Still awaiting her response on the Indiana Abortion Law signed by Pence which Sanders has addressed

[pantsonfire]

7. She'll respond after she looks into releasing her transcripts...

....no seriously, she'll come out against that soon, she is one of the strongest advocates for womens' rights, but to attack Sanders on this issue is beyond reason.

[GreenPartyVoter]

8. Just nasty and disingenuous on her part.

[Impedimentus]

9. What's the Third Way position on abortion? Oh, that's right, the Third Way shifts its ...

positions faster than the desert sands.

FEEL THE BERN - 2016

[SammyWinstonJack]

10. She's despicable.

[BernieforPres2016]

11. That's at least the 3rd time this week MSNBC creates the talking point

And the Clinton campaign is running with it the next day. Time to boycott MSNBC Bernie.

[pantsonfire]

12. The liberal/corporatist media.....not progressive towards his financial positions.

....at least they are reacting to anti-LGBT laws being passed in North Carolina and Georgia, I'll give them that!

[Hiraeth]

14. what the fuck ever, Hillary.

[Warren DeMontague]

16. Like that time Sanders said he would be "open to restrictions" on abortion- remember THAT?

Oh, wait, that was Hillary.

[pantsonfire]

18. She never said that! She's always been the most progressive leader....

....always for women's rights, she never wavered because of the political climate? no no no

[IdaBriggs]

26. I am afraid you are mistaken - she did it publicly and there is video.

You can view the thread and video link here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511552065

But she seriously floated a "constitutional restriction" on abortion -

And so, you know, again, I am where I have been, which is that, you know, if there is a way to structure some kind of constitutional restrictions that take into account the life of the mother and her health, then I'm open to that. But I have yet to see the Republicans willing to actually do that. And that would be an area, where if they included health, you could see constitutional actions.

17. @ team Hillary

[grossproffit]

19. How's that email probe going?

[NWCorona]

20. I have a feeling we will find out before NY

[Blue_In_AK]

21. Hitting Bernie on women's rights

is seriously disingenuous.

[AzDar]

22. Finished with Hillary since '08...as of now, am completely done w/ Maddow and MSDNC...

Fin

[kgnu_fan]

23. Hillary is coming apart...

[stillwaiting]

24. She is horrible. Ridiculous actually.

We expect more from you than social issues HRC. Much more.

Your opponent is actually BETTER than you on abortion issues since you are willing to compromise on third trimester abortions.

Poor show HRC.

[MisterP]

25. too bad this gross slander contradicts her own position (or at least a while back)
