33. that is an accomplishment of Clinton somehow?
I am pretty sure this happened in the 1990s, although I can't immediately find stats comparing 1993 to 2001.

"But access to abortion has been severely eroded. The most recent survey found that 87% of all U.S. counties have no identifiable abortion provider. In non-metropolitan areas, the figure rises to 97%."

Since the reference is from 2000, this seems to have been true during the Clinton administration "access to abortion has been severely eroded".

But I would not deny that Clintons are progressive on social issues or identity politics. It is on the economy where they turn to the right and start sounding like Republicans. "The era of Big Government is over". Eisenhower didn't say that. Clinton did. Eisenhower gave a speech warning about the military industrial complex.
