Watch: Hillary Just Responded To Fiorina’s Debate Dare–It Tells You Everything You Need To Know
The dare to Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was clear. Clinton’s response was not.
During Wednesday night’s Republican presidential debate, candidate Carly Fiorina challenged Clinton to watch a series of videos that have documented the sale of fetal body parts by Planned Parenthood.
“I dare Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama to watch these tapes,” she said Wednesday. “Watch a fully formed fetus on the table, its heart beating, its legs kicking, while someone says, ‘We have to keep it alive to harvest its brain.’”
The dare was still fresh when CNN’s Wolf Blitzer interviewed Clinton on Thursday.
“First of all, have you seen those very, very controversial videos?” he asked.
The answer avoided words such as “yes” or “no.”
“Well, Wolf, let’s break down what’s happening here,” Clinton said. “I think we ought to be very clear that Planned Parenthood has served to provide healthcare, necessary healthcare, for millions of women. And I think it deserves not only our support, but the continuing funding from the federal government, so that these women and girls, who are seeking the kinds of services that are provided, will be able to achieve that.”
After listing services provided by Planned Parenthood, Clinton then added: “What this is about is that some of the Planned Parenthood facilities perform abortions. Which is legal, under the laws of the United States.”
“And if the issue, the core issue that some on the stage last night or some in the Congress are trying to promote or trying to raise questions about, has to do with the kind of research that is done legally in the United States. Then that is an issue that goes far beyond any Planned Parenthood example,” Clinton added.
Unlike the follow-up probing of Republican candidates on Wednesday, CNN’s reporter did not press the issue further.
The pro-life Center for Medical Progress has released 10 videos detailing the sale of fetal tissue and organs by Planned Parenthood; the first was released in July. On July 28, Clinton said: “I have seen pictures from them and I obviously find them disturbing.”
