2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton takes a PRE-Roe v Wade position on abortion [View all]nashville_brook
(20,958 posts)8. here's Bill Clinton on abortion, in his own words -->
after vetoing that bill: I believe that if you cant make up your mind in the first six months, you dont have the right to have an abortion.
that's some self-serving BS right there. truth is, the Clintons think they can slice and dice women's rights from the rest of the electorate. they think they can demonize our right to choose what's right for our bodies no matter what day of the month it is (it's none of their business if a woman is 6 months down the line or 6 minutes down the line -- they're just making political hay and they know it).

adopting RW framing, such as the "rare" and moral hazard lens, leads to no good policy.

Planned Parenthood can change its endorsement if enough of us make noise about it.
