LOL! What a joke.
In that speech, she called abortion a "sad, even tragic choice" and said her husband's administration had done a great deal to reduce the number of abortions in the United States
Someone here needs to research that claim!

WASHINGTON - Former President Clinton, defending his senator-wife's statements on abortion, said Wednesday that Democrats are held to a double standard.
The comment came during remarks to Campus Progress, a left-leaning student group. He said young people in his party should speak directly to conservative voters.
He contended that Republicans have defined the abortion debate in a way that boxes in Democrats.
"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.
"All of a sudden," he continued, the media began asking, "'Is she selling out? Is she abandoning her principles?' But if John McCain, who's pro-life, works with Hillary on global warming, he's a man of principle moving to the middle."
"It's nuts," the former president said.
A speech by Sen. Clinton in January in Albany, N.Y., led to a flurry of speculation that she was shifting slightly to the right. In that speech, she called abortion a "sad, even tragic choice" and said her husband's administration had done a great deal to reduce the number of abortions in the United States.
Conservatives and abortion-rights foes portrayed the speech as a sign that she was edging toward the middle with an eye toward the 2008 presidential campaign. Her supporters, however, said she was simply repeating positions she had stated since her 2000 campaign for the Senate.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton: http://clinton.senate.gov
This man wants to get back in the Lincoln Bedroom soooo badly!
"Abortion is a great tragedy and I fully support it." -- it's an insane comment, but Democrats say it all the time.
Have you noticed he is constantly speaking for her like she can't speak for herself? Cany you imagine if she WERE the president and he would be speaking for her and what she means by this and that?!
B-A-A-A-R-R-F-F-F
"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.One would have to be believable to be a sellout. There's no way that I believe Hillary to be even remotely pro-life, much less "normal."
Why is it that everytime I hear or see something about a Clinton, I immediately need an aspirin and a shower?
So when Republicans say we needed to go into Iraq but regret the loss of innocent life, Nancy Pelosi and company say "Well of course, we know that" as opposed to comparing Bush to Hitler?
What Clinton is saying is that since the libs FEEL BAD about it, they shouldn't be held accountable for murdering children. Oh, ok, sure, Bill.
At this point I think it's a good thing he keeps yapping. His schtick plays to the robots but the rest of us are sooooo tired of him. He's like a lounge lizard who's there and dying to talk to anyone no matter what time of day or night you go in for a quick drink.
I dunno. Somehow, I think Bill Clinton would do himself a favor by avoiding any reference at all to impulses, normal or otherwise.
LOL! What a joke.

Wrong again, Slickster. We still know he's just a RINO. However, you might want to talk to your bought-and-paid-for media about their favorite "Republican".
He's smarter than that. He knows that the media and the rest of the wacko left want her to celebrate the murder of babies right along with them. If she evidences any difference from that lockstep view then some of the democrat constituency might see that the abortion emperor has no clothes and really is murder.
Now that he has nothing to do he is running her campaign. This is going to be good. I bet you she is going to regret this. Okay Okay I'm having pipe dreams again about her losing the Senate!
He would be Secretary of State, and that is something that we had best think about.
Whenever Bill starts talking about "normal impulses", you had better make sure that your wives and daughters carry a gun or next he will be saying, "You better put some ice on that."
Yes. You're either taking life or preserving it. But coming from a man who evidently read the Bible looking for loopholes, I'm not exactly surprised.
Asprin most of the time for me and barf bags!
That's because:
1) McCain's not a conservative
and
2) The media actually believes humans have something to do with global warming.
I finally agree with Clinton on one thing, that the media fellates John MeCain.
Clinton keeps triungulating. By defending his wife to leftists, he's showing the US electorate that she is being criticized by the Left. He's hoping that the public would then perceive her as a centrist! I hope that people don't get fooled and understands that she's as leftist as ever, she's just trying to get elected!
It's deja vu all over again......we're getting two for the price of one.
And this twofer will continue if she gets into the White House.
(Wonder if she'll bring all the silverware back if she's elected).
Leni
Yeah, lower and lowest.
I heard Ed Cox on the John Batchelor program last night, and for the first time I began to believe in the possibility of her defeat.
The filthy dirty RATS think that Billboy will be a HUGH plus for the Witch on her campaign trail, BUT he'll only remind folk of the crap he pulled on the America public during his term! Remember how giddy the RAPIST was when he spoke of getting two for the price of one in the WH? OH YEAH, bring it on HITLARY and RATS, folk cringe at the thought of jiffy boy in the WH again!! Bubba is a HUGH plus alright, but for the pubs!! ON TO VICTORY IN 08 ;o)
Haven't heard him yet. I know he's on a Senate listening tour right now. I hope he goes on some of the MSM talk shows.
well of course! and that is what they're testing NOW!! its like he is the DUmmie and she is the nodding ventriloquist,...they're trying to see if it'll fly because Bubba is more likable than Sir Edmund Hillary Clinton ,aka Shrillary , "herself" , FOG[friend of Grozny O'Donnell]
Either that or that side room just off the oval office.
LOL
He left his blowup doll there ya know!
No, Bill, it wasnt about sex. It was about the disgust and revulsion you evoked with scandal after scandal, criminal act after criminal act. Now go away, both of you. Bill, your legacy was signed, sealed and delivered, they day you looked the nation in the eye and said,"I did not have sexual relations...."
I would support abortion if it meant that neither of those two would have been born.
So I guess an "abnormal" use of a cigar, would be lighting one end of it and inhaling the other end?????
Ha!
If ya believe in abortion you have no principles.
Who is he trying to fool.
That is why we must make sure that if Hillary runs - she does NOT win! I DO NOT want her in charge of our soldiers and HIM running around in the Lincoln bedroom again!
Good point. I'm kind of amused by those FReepers who find her some sort of formidable political Goliath. In a presidential race, I don't think she'd even make it out of the Democrat debates. She cannot think on her feet, and her shrillness really turns people off.
If the media wasn't constantly in there propping her up, she'd be toast.
It's liberal left wing Loony media, don't ask us on the right to solve your problems Billy-Bob. You either have moral values, a respect for life, or you don't. You either think killing babies is ok because they are inconveniant, or you don't. Teach your kids to respect themselves, their future, and abstain until they are ready to start a family. Sex isn't meant to be a sporting event like soccer that everyone should participate in as soon as they are able. Save it for marriage, when you know you LOVE somebody, not LUST somebody, like you do interns, Billy-Bob. There. Ask a "righty", that's my answer.
How about "Abortion is a great tragedy and I reluctantly support it"?
...."if you're a Democrat and you have sort of normal impulses"......
Yeah, kinda like getting a woodie looking at the thong on the fat intern!
LoL! I love the pic. I'm printing it out now and will stick it on the KFC door next time I'm there. Think I'll get busted?
NA!
Looks like that site is down. Looks like it was done by "Friends of Ed Cox". Maybe he will have one up soon.
Not unless they take the "Drive through" comment wrong.
Wow- Planned Parenthood's new logo speaks volumes.
