‘To Be Clear, There’s No…Exceptions?’: Fox Host Presses Clinton on Support for Late-Term Abortions

Hillary Clinton was pressed Monday evening over her support for late-term abortions during a Fox News town hall. Host Bret Baier asked the Democratic front-runner about her position on the controversial procedure.

I had an interesting light bulb moment while reading this article. Maybe Hillary and other staunch abortion right defenders are so unwavering in their stance because if they yell loud enough that it's ok, they'll make themselves believe it and free themselves of their own guilt.

Meaning....what if Hillary had an abortion, or Cecil Richards ...and they are haunted by it. This may be their only coping mechanism.
It's probably not the case but it's not out if the realm of possibilities. Praying these women have their eyes opened
