Bill:

"So for example, if you're a Democrat and you have sort of normal impulses, you're a sellout, like when Hillary said abortion is a tragedy for virtually everybody who undergoes it, we ought to do all we can to reduce abortion," Clinton said.

Hillary didn't say abortion is tragic for "virtually everybody" ..so this is another step further right on what she said.

And "normal" impulses? Thanks for the implied "abnormal" to your base. The country is prochoice, so I guess that means the USA is abnormal. Whatever.

The Clintons are painfully selling us out once again...NOW..now before ya'll start jumping on me like i'm some sort of abortion loving fool [frame, anyone]..all I'm saying is that this is a trend with Hillary. She once was a strong supporter of choice, then weaker, and now this comment. I don't like the direction.

I don't think we need to concede this much. Moreso, no matter what a northeastern senator does, america will most likely view you as liberal.

If we're gonna get loose on abortion to some extent, then we should take mark warner, whose for parental notification. we see [recent survey USA] that he gets approval of 52% of prolife voters in VA. hillary will never get those numbers.

I know there's alot on this issue. I just feel that the Clintons main theme in politics is concession, and I'm tired of that.
