[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=takoma]I did not hear anything in her comments about amending the Constitution.  She was talking about being willing to consider a Republican bill IF it were consistent with Roe v Wade and took into account the mother's health.  So she still opposes a total ban on late-term abortions, but accepts the idea that a state can limit them provided there are reasonable exceptions such as the mother's health.  That is perfectly in line with Roe v Wade as I understand it.[/quote]

What do you think this means?

"Again, I am where I have been, which is that [b]if there's a way to structure some kind of constitutional restriction [/b]that take into account the life of the mother and her health, then I'm open to that. "[/quote]

Sound to me like she's in favor of amending the Constitution to outlaw (restrict) abortions with exception of the mother's health.
That runs counter to Planned Parenthood's stance.[/quote]

It's hard to say. That's why I was hoping someone could point me to more information about this. The interview clip could really go either way. The language is pretty vague and you can almost read whatever you want to into it. She might have done that on purpose so that people who would like to see more restrictions will agree with her as well as those who already believe she will defend reproductive rights. [/quote]

There's nothing else on this from my search. However, she was very consistent (for a long time) on this issue, so I am not at all worried about her wanting to restrict abortions.

Being consistent for a long time doesn't mean she is consistent now. [/quote]
