WASHINGTON -- Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton waded back into the highly charged abortion debate Tuesday, charging that a GOP cost-cutting measure will boost the number of abortions in the United States.
Clinton, D-N.Y., said a piece of a pending deficit-reduction measure would indirectly raise the number of abortions in the United States by leaving poor women with less Medicaid coverage for contraception.
"I sadly predict that if this measure stays in the bill ... the number of abortions will go up, the human and financial costs will go up, and many women will be really out of luck," Clinton said in a Senate floor debate on the bill, which is headed for a close vote later Tuesday or early Wednesday.
The former first lady spoke out against language in the bill that would allow states to choose whether to offer family planning services under Medicaid, a government-funded health care program for the poor.

I don't get her logic.
But then, I never have....including her choice of political party, colleges, husband.
I would be worried if I found myself understanding her logic or being on her side in any issue.

And I'm sure if we made free, federally-funded abortions available for everyone (as Queen Hillary would no doubt approve), there would be fewer abortions?

I thought she was heavily pro-abortion anyway [ \ scratches head ] She is, but she is desperately looking for her "sistah souljah" moment of her own.

**less Medicaid coverage for contraception**
She acts like these women are actually using this benefit.
