Merryland's JournalHillary Clinton takes a PRE-Roe v Wade position on abortion
Hillary Clinton in a September 2015 interview with Chuck Todd:
"Again, I am where I have been, which is that if there's a way to structure some kind of constitutional restriction that take into account the life of the mother and her health, then I'm open to that. But I have yet to see the Republicans willing to actually do that, and that would be an area, where if they included health, you could see constitutional action."
For those too young to remember, "therapeutic" hospital abortion for the sake of the mother's life and health was legally permitted before Roe v Wade. Sounds like Hillary wants to take us back there. Is Planned Parenthood, which has endorsed her, aware of this backward stance?

A very powerful article about his relationship with John Lewis and Bernie Sanders. Wow.

Hillary Clinton's lack of facial expression
when listening - or appearing to listen - during a debate is starting to bug me. Such a contrast with Bernie Sanders' very animated face. I wonder if this is an indication of indifference, calculated nonchalance or some kind of medical issue. It's like the cognitive reception is just not there.
