Mrs. Clinton defends partial-birth abortion. In a survey from November 2015, over 80 percent of women say that they would ban late-term abortion and restrict abortion to the first three months of pregnancy. According to this poll, 82 percent of women and 66 percent of abortion supporters say abortions should be banned after the first trimester of pregnancy. Clinton has called for the repeal of the Hyde Amendment which restricts tax dollars from funding abortions. Her announcement came several days after Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortionist, endorsed Mrs. Clinton. In the same poll, 68 percent of Americans, including 69 percent of women and 51 percent of abortion supporters, oppose taxpayer-funded abortions, while only 29 percent support it.

Clinton is on record as saying: “Laws have to be backed up with resources and political will . . . and deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs . . . have to be changed.”
