Unborn babies, even on the date of their birth, have no rights, Hillary Clinton said today. 

The comments come after Clinton courted controversy in a Sunday appearance on Meet the Press, when the Democratic front-runner said unborn babies never have constitutional rights. In an appearance today on The View, Paula Faris asked "At what point does someone have constitutional rights, and are you saying that a child, on its due date, just hours before delivery, still has no constitutional rights?”

“Under our law that is the case, Paula," Clinton replied. "I support Roe vs. Wade because I think it is an important (Applause) — an important statement about the importance of a woman making this most difficult decision with consultation by whom she chooses: her doctor, her faith, her family."

"And under the law and under certainly that decision, that is the way we structure it,” she added.
