Mrs. 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 doesn’t have constitutional rights,” Mrs. Clinton said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “Now that doesn’t mean that we don’t 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. Clinton’s 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.

The 'Not Hillary' Party will take assistance from anywhere.

She cited Roe vs. Wade, unlike this link.

That way her staffers can scream "SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!" in her ear when she strays off the reservation because she doesn't know where the boundaries are unless she's been thoroughly briefed in the last 30 seconds.

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.

They are in the Roe v. Wade decision from 1973.

They are about the differing governmental burdens and interferences in each trimester, consistent with biological development.
