Hillary slams 20-week abortion ban

The Hillary Clinton campaign jabbed at House Republicans after they passed a bill banning abortions after 20 weeks on Wednesday.

"Politicians should not interfere with personal medical decisions, which should be left to a woman, her family and her faith, in consultation with her doctor or health care provider," Clinton's senior policy adviser Maya Harris said in a statement.

She added that the bill conflicts with Roe v. Wade the Supreme Court decision that protects the right to an abortion. Court precedent has generally protected abortions up to the point of viability, at 24 weeks.

“This bill is a direct challenge to Roe v. Wade, which has protected a woman's constitutional right to privacy for over forty years," Harris said. "The bill puts women's health and rights at risk, undermines the role doctors play in health care decisions, burdens survivors of sexual assault, and is not based on sound science."

The campaign also linked the issue to state efforts to restrict abortions.

"It also follows a dangerous trend we are witnessing across the country. In just the first three months of 2015, more than 300 bills have been introduced in state legislatures — on top of the nearly 30 measures introduced in Congress — that restrict access to abortion," Harris said.

Clinton herself tweeted a similar message.

Hillary ignores the fact there are two patients in every abortion.

"Politicians should not interfere with personal medical decisions

Okay, so where's the line, Hillary? If some hag smothers her 7-year-old because she hates buying mayonnaise at Costco, is it a "personal medical decision"?

(By the way, the mayonnaise thing really was in a 'news story' in a major media outlet.)

Typical, from the "woman" who enabled serial groping of real women.

Abortion is the murder of a young human being. No matter how you want to change the character of it, that is a fact.

The entire democratic party backs the murder of young human beings because they can’t fight back or vote. The democratic party has lost all morality.

Hasn’t she been almost silent up to this point in her “campaign?” Interesting she chose this topic to speak out against.

20 weeks is halfway through the pregnancy.

The Left is evil incarnate.
