Sen. Feinstein Repeats False Claim She Sentenced Women to Prison for Abortions in the 60s

EXCERPT:

FEINSTEIN: "I was in the ‘50s and ‘60s, active, but first as a student at Stanford. I saw what happened to young women who became pregnant. And then subsequently I sat as an appointee of Governor Brown’s on the term setting and paroling authority for women in California who have committed felonies. So I sentenced women who had committed abortions to state prisons and granted them paroles until I came to see both sides, the terrible side and the human and vulnerable side. And when you look at the statistics during those days, those statistics that the Guttmacher Institute has put out are really horrendous."
