It may be difficult for pro-life advocates to believe, but Hillary Clinton’s relationship with abortion rights advocates hasn’t been without its occasional difficulties.
In the heat of the 2008 Democratic presidential primary, NARAL Pro-Choice America passed over Clinton to give its endorsement to Barack Obama. That’s because Hillary supports the “safe, legal and rare” framework that her husband put forward but which abortion advocates now say stigmatizes abortion, or at least those who want it to be perfectly commonplace. And in July, after undercover videos showed Planned Parenthood officials negotiating the sale of aborted baby body parts, Hillary initially called the images “disturbing.”
