Hillary Clinton: Rubio's abortion attacks "pathetic"

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said Sunday that Marco Rubio's attacks on her beliefs about abortion are "pathetic."

Rubio, the Florida senator and 2016 Republican presidential candidate, said during Saturday night's GOP debate that Democrats are the "extremists" on abortion and that Clinton supports the procedure "even on the due date of that unborn child."

"I think it's pretty pathetic," Clinton said Sunday on CBS' "Face the Nation." "This is something that illustrates how Senator Rubio has just been going as far as he can to try to, I guess, buttress his credentials with certain parts of the Republican constituency. I've been on record for years about where I stand on making abortions safe and legal, the exceptions that are appropriate that should be looked into. And the very difficult choices that very few women have to confront that lead to excruciating kinds of decisions."

She said Rubio was engaging in a "tried and true tactic by those on the right" to try to convince voters that he would overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade decision and defund Planned Parenthood.

‘”..Rubio, the Florida senator and 2016 Republican presidential candidate, said during Saturday night’s GOP debate that Democrats are the “extremists” on abortion and that Clinton supports the procedure “even on the due date of that unborn child.” ..”’

I also LOVED when Rubio asked why moderators didn’t ask Hillary about her extreme views when she debates (paraphrasing).

I am VERY glad that Rubio was knocked out last night.

Having said that, he is very correct on this count.
