Krauthammer: ‘Semi Historic’ Democrats Were Asked Yesterday About Abortion

‘There have been, what, seven Democratic debates and not one question about abortion’

BAIER: "Well, part of the exchange from the town hall last night. That part, obviously about the emails and Hillary Clinton there as this race continues for Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. We're back with our panel. Charles, your thoughts on the town hall, that particular exchange. We saw the fact check today by Catherine Herridge as well." 
KRAUTHAMMER: "Well, the fact check, I thought, was rather devastating. There is no way to expose all of that in a townhall, in a debate. But it is refreshing that one of the candidates, Hillary, finally got a question on e-mails that the other moderators and the other debates have stayed away from. I thought it was even, almost semi-historic, the way you actually asked a question about abortion. I think there have been, what?, seven Democratic debates and not one about abortion. The moderators are always asking Republicans about the difficult issue of exceptions for the pro-life position, which is a serious question. But you never hear the same question asked about the difficult exceptions on the pro-choice side, meaning is there any time, anywhere, any time in the pregnancy when you would allow a regulation to prevent an abortion? Which is never asked, has to be asked, and was asked. And I had thought it elicited an interesting reply. She made a semi-concession on that. But it is something that I think is important. You actually were able to pierce the veil on that. I would like to see if the moderators pick it up. I doubt they will, but it is good that you did.
