Safe, legal, and never

According to Slate, Hillary Clinton's taking an approach on abortion that's repositioning the Democratic party to win the abortion debate.

'Abortion is "a sad, even tragic choice to many, many women," said Clinton. Then she went further: "There is no reason why government cannot do more to educate and inform and provide assistance so that the choice guaranteed under our constitution either does not ever have to be exercised or only in very rare circumstances."

'Hillary Clinton just endorsed a goal I've never heard a pro-choice leader endorse' said William Saletan, the author of the Slate article. 'Not safe, legal, and rare. Safe, legal, and never. Once you embrace that truth -— that the ideal number of abortions is zero -— voters open their ears. '
