Late term abortion, Magda.
Yes, she's willing to compromise on late term abortion, not abortion rights per se.
Context is everything.
She is still prepared to throw women under the bus for her own political ambitions wheat ever they might be at any time. Abortion is a medical issue. Should not be left to Hilary or any one else. She cannot be trusted.
How does making late term abortion legal when the health of the mother is at risk constitute "throwing women under the bus"?
Allowing any kind of late term abortion is not popular in the USA. 41 states have restricted it.

Quote:Americans Frown on Second- and Third-Trimester Abortions
Much of the reason for Americans' ambivalence about abortion is evident in their views toward the legality of the procedure during each trimester of pregnancy. This also happens to be the framework used in the Roe v. Wade decision, which says that the interests of the mother are paramount in first trimester, but that the state has an interest in protecting the fetus in "the stage subsequent to viability," or the third trimester.
A solid majority of Americans (61%) believe abortion should generally be legal in the first three months of pregnancy, while 31% disagree. However support drops off sharply, to 27%, for second-trimester abortions, and further still, to 14%, for third-trimester abortions. Gallup has found this pattern each time it has asked this question since 1996, indicating that Americans attach much greater value to the fetus as it approaches viability, starting in the second trimester.
Do you understand how many restrictions on abortion women face in this country?
If Trump wins and names two Justices -- the Supreme Court will make all forms of abortion illegal.
And there's a lot more than abortion rights riding on this election.
Voting rights, gay rights, immigration rights, criminal justice rights, privacy rights, equal access to health care and quality education.
Looks to me like you Brits take for granted these rights you enjoy -- but we Yanks constantly have to fight for those rights.
Doesn't mater if it is popular or not it should not be some thing for negotiation. It is not the business of the state. It is a medical decision between the woman and her doctor.
In any case I would not trust Hilary to protect any one's rights. She is too negotiable on them all.
