Dick Morris: Hillary Flip-Flops on Abortion
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has taken no less than four different positions on parental notification for abortion. She is now not being truthful about a proposed California law requiring that parents be told if their minor daughters are having an abortion, say Bill O'Reilly and Dick Morris. Appearing on the "O'Reilly Factor" Thursday night, Morris agreed with O'Reilly when his host talked about an audiotape Clinton made to be played in California, where there is a proposition on the ballot requiring parental notification. O'Reilly explained that the issue is whether parents should be allowed to know if their daughters are going to have an abortion. He explained that Clinton recorded a message to California voters saying, "Vote against this, we don't want parental notification." Said O'Reilly: "We called up California and asked for the recording that went to more than 250,000 people in California, and they say, 'No, you can't,'" even though Clinton's office told O'Reilly they had no problem with his getting the recording, which he says he never was able to obtain. O'Reilly quoted Clinton's message as reported by The New York Sun Thursday, which said: "We are opposed because [the proposition] will put most of the most vulnerable teens at risk. Teens who may already be in danger by negligent or even abusive homes. We can do better. Let's work together to protect all our children."

Said O'Reilly: "Well that's not true. In the proposition there is a provision for abused teens or neglected teens, a provision where the court would take over if that's the case. Number one, it's not true what Mrs. Clinton is saying. And number two, she seems to be hiding from the fact that she doesn't want the rest of the country to know what she's doing. "Am I wrong?" he asked Morris. Morris commented o Clinton's multiple views on the issue: "First she said, 'I support parental notification with judicial backup.' Then she opposes this [California proposition], which is exactly that — parental notification with judicial bypass. "Then she says the New York law should be the model, but the New York law has no parental notification. Then she says that in states where it's the only option, then yes, she supports parental notification with judicial bypass. Four different positions on the same issue." "It's like her position on Iraq," Morris said. "She voted for the war; she thinks it was the right thing to do; but it's been screwed up and we ought to withdraw; but we shouldn't set a timetable to withdraw; and while we're withdrawing we should send in more troops; and by the way maybe we should only withdraw them to Kuwait or northern Iraq."
When O'Reilly said he could not understand why Clinton would want to get involved in a proposition and ballot measure in California when she knows it's such a hot-button issue and she has to get independent voters if she has any chance in 2008, Morris explained that "She's focused now on getting the nomination." Morris said that Clinton knows she's "bleeding on the left" and her strategy is to go "as far left on all these other issues as she can and hold the base in line." Said O'Reilly: "This is going to come back to haunt her." Morris agreed. Editor's note:
