Everyone’s talking about Donald Trump’s abortion gaffes recently, but Hillary Clinton spoke about abortion in a way that made liberals quite upset.

She accidentally spoke the truth:

Democratic primary front-runner Hillary Clinton ran afoul of both the pro-life and pro-choice sides of the abortion debate Sunday when she said constitutional rights do not apply to an “unborn person” or “child.”

“The unborn person doesn’t have constitutional rights,” Mrs. Clinton said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “Now that doesn’t mean that we don’t do everything we possibly can in the vast majority of instances to, you know, help a mother who is carrying a child and wants to make sure that child will be healthy, to have appropriate medical support.”

Well, at least a “half truth,” which is 50% more truth than abortion fans normally hear.

… the specific term “person” is a legal concept that includes rights and statuses that the law protects, including protection of a person’s life under the laws against homicide. Pro-choice intellectuals have long said that even if an unborn child is a “life,” it is not yet a “person.”

Guidelines issued by the International Planned Parenthood Federation discourage pro-choice advocates from using terms such as “abort a child,” instead recommending “more accurate/appropriate” alternatives such as “end a pregnancy” or “have an abortion.”

“‘Abort a child’ is medically inaccurate, as the fetus is not yet a child,” the guide reads. “‘Terminate’ a pregnancy is commonly used, however some people prefer to avoid this as terminate may have negative connotations (e.g., ‘terminator or assassinate’) for some people.”

Ha! Yes. “Some people” find that “terminating” is problematic…. the people who are being terminated find it especially inconvenient.

“This is Trump-level gaffery,” John Podhoretz of National Review tweeted. “If you acknowledge personhood, then the unborn has every Constitutional right.”

Ben Shapiro of the Daily Wire said her statement “demonstrates just how incoherent and evil the left’s abortion position is.”
