Bill Clinton: “Well, of course. I have nothing to add to what I have said on this all along. What I need to do is to be convinced that…”

“Well, of course. I have nothing to add to what I have said on this all along. What I need to do is to be convinced that no woman will be grievously harmed by this legislation and that no woman will be put in the position, for example, of being so harmed that she will never be able to have further children because of this legislation. You know what my concerns are; I've made them abundantly clear. I must say, I regret that Senator Daschle's legislation did not pass because it would have reduced the number of abortions by far, far more-- light-years more than the Santorum bill. The Santorum bill may not reduce the number of abortions by one. So what we don't want to do is to, in effect, not reduce the number of abortions in the third trimester, which the Supreme Court permits us to do and which I've invited the Congress to do ever since I got here, and at the same time put a lot of women's health at risk in a way that is unwise and unconstitutional.
