Rep. Tulsi Gabbard has become somewhat of an independent darling during her run for the White House...During a recent appearance on "The Rubin Report," Gabbard surprised many by vocalizing her personal opposition to third-trimester abortions:
"I take a more libertarian position on this issue that government really shouldn’t be in that place of dictating to a woman the choice that she should make...I think there should be some restrictions, though."
"For me personally, I would not make that choice for myself, but I don’t believe that I should be telling anybody else the kinds of decisions that they should make for themselves or their family and therefore a woman should have the right to choose and I will stand up and fight to protect her right to do so."
"I think the third trimester, unless a woman’s life or severe health consequences is at risk, then there shouldn’t be an abortion in the third trimester."
In contrast to many of Gabbard’s Democratic competitors, this stated opposition to late-term abortion is, at first glance, refreshing. After all, there has been an alarming trend of Democrats offering their support for abortion in the third trimester and even up until the moment of birth.
But in terms of the inherent worth of unborn life and the issue of abortion itself, Gabbard's declaration means very little. Conservatives should not embrace her as a Democratic pro-life champion of any sort.
In 2013, Gabbard co-sponsored a bill that would make numerous "limitations and requirements concerning abortion services unlawful and prohibits their imposition or application by any government." Individual state restrictions would be overridden.
Pro-life group Live Action said of the bill, "This is Roe v. Wade on steroids.

She is pro abortion. She most certainly is.
Gabbard doesn’t support killing a baby after it is born which makes her a hard right Democrat today.
There are people here who have come very close to admitting they’d vote for her over President Trump if she was his opponent.
Who?
Liar.
Anyone who calls themselves a conservative should abhor anyone who is pro-murder in the womb.
No matter what, choose life. Period.
Yeah, “safe, legal, and rare”. They are never asked why it should be rare if nothing is wrong with it.
I’d still hit that.
Don’t care what any of you say...
Quick! Some FReeper post some pics of her in bikini in Hawaii so we can forget about her pro-abortion, pro-illegal alien, and gun control stances!!
Life, liberty and the pursuit of anti-life collectivist votes.

I can’t stand her.
To me, she’s nothing but a typical Demonic-rat, save for her military service.
She delights in slamming President Trump. Bitch.
“There are people here who have come very close to admitting they’d vote for her over President Trump if she was his opponent”
People that see anything in an army uniform and then proceeded to turn off their brain.
All I see are millions of aborted children.
i’m pretty sure they’d just sleep with her.
But...but...but...she’s hot!!
She has tons of fans here. They think she’s real attractive (if you smear mayo on the camera lens, of course), smart and military.
Geez, what year was that taken? She has more rings around her torso than a redwood tree.
