Related: About this forumMrs. Clinton also said “there is room for reasonable kinds of restrictions” on abortion..."
And the hits, just keep on comin'.
"...constitutional rights do not apply to an unborn person or child.
The unborn person doesnt have constitutional rights, Mrs. Clinton said on NBCs Meet the Press. Now that doesnt mean that we dont do everything we possibly can in the vast majority of instances to, you know, help a mother who is carrying a child and wants to make sure that child will be healthy, to have appropriate medical support.
Diana Arellano, manager of community engagement for Planned Parenthood Illinois Action, said Sunday that Mrs. Clintons comments undermined the cause for abortion rights.
The comment further stigmatizes #abortion, Ms. Arellano said in a tweet. She calls a fetus an unborn child & calls for later term restrictions.
Describing the fetus as a person or child has long been anathema to the pro-choice movement, which argues the terms misleadingly imply a sense of humanity.

(13,390 posts)Are you fucking kidding me?? I could forgive this if she said it during the GE. But when she's running in the primary, it's hard to draw any conclusion other than she really believes it.
