She really should have pointed out that NO doctor would perform an abortion when the baby is viable -- and the gestational age for that has shifted with medical technology. A friend, who has a son whose wife recently had a baby born prematurely at 25 weeks, told us that 23 in now the absolute point where they could survive. I had always heard 26 weeks. The baby, fortunately, is doing very very well.

Hillary had made the point that late term abortion was because a woman's health was in trouble or that there was something terribly wrong. However, her counter to Trump's outrageous accusation that this meant she was for aborting full term babies should have been a n angry correction noting that his contention - re stated as aborting babies 3 to 4 days before birth was despicable, not her position and something NO doctor would agree to do. This should have been explicitly and angrily called out as a RW lie.
