Fully agreed with you both on wincing at her choice of words and not being fully comfortable with her candidacy as a whole. That's why I finally decided to come down for Dodd, right before he dropped out. =) (& he was for that moronic, stupid, Soviet-esque border fence idea, which would be a disqualifier all by itself if he hadn't stood out strongly and others hadn't stood backwards on other issues)

On the more important issue of the substance of what she said, though, Hillary is actually quite in line with current law, and I don't really have too much of a problem with her. The forced pregnancy side does their best to obscure this, but it's already illegal to get a 3rd trimester abortion most places (I think all places) in the US, unless there is a health issue of some sort for the mother or something problematic about the fetus. Whether this is a good or bad thing I leave up to you, but as a practical matter, I don't think you have a whole lot of women (any? women) deciding to abort 8 or 9 months in because they suddenly thought "oops, ya know, I'd really rather not have a kid. My bad!".

More problematic, I didn't know she supported parental notification. Okay, that's awful. Now I have to run check Edwards on this.
