Hillary Clinton: Rubio's abortion attacks "pathetic"

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said Sunday that Marco Rubio's attacks on her beliefs about abortion are "pathetic."

Rubio, the Florida senator and 2016 Republican presidential candidate, said during Saturday night's GOP debate that Democrats are the "extremists" on abortion and that Clinton supports the procedure "even on the due date of that unborn child."

"I think it's pretty pathetic," Clinton said Sunday on CBS' "Face the Nation." "This is something that illustrates how Senator Rubio has just been going as far as he can to try to, I guess, buttress his credentials with certain parts of the Republican constituency. I've been on record for years about where I stand on making abortions safe and legal, the exceptions that are appropriate that should be looked into. And the very difficult choices that very few women have to confront that lead to excruciating kinds of decisions."

She said Rubio was engaging in a "tried and true tactic by those on the right" to try to convince voters that he would overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade decision and defund Planned Parenthood.

Two things

1) They probably weren't interested because they agreed with her

2) They were afraid of her.

A culture that allows the killing of innocents for the sake of convenience is pathetic.

She does need to respond to Rubio and she knows. This is why I love Rubio. I a very pro life. I respect he had rather lose an election than get the life issue wrong.

Hillary thinks there should be some limits on abortions performed on due dates. Such as only up to 12 noon that day.

Hillary WOULD allow abortion on the due date... and IF that's not true she would have said it.

She's a nightmare as a candidate..

Hillary Clinton is the worse but she is an astute politician. She knows Rubio is her biggest threat. He is.

What is pathetic, disgusting, and an abomination (i.e., should make you want to throw up) is that we have been complicit in the murder of over 50 million babies since Roe, and that Queen Athaliah calls any prophetic denouncing of this genocide pathetic.

what happened to rare?

About one half of the victims of abortion are black and since the liberals want to exterminate the blacks, they can't have it rare. It must be large scale to achieve the liberal's objective.
