Despite Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton being asked about abortion for the first time during a town hall on Fox News Monday night, on Tuesday morning, none of the network morning shows bothered to highlight the hardline positions of both Democratic candidates on the issue.
During the hour-long forum with both contenders, Special Report anchor Bret Baier challenged them on whether they would favor any restrictions on abortion. With Sanders, he pressed: “Senator, can you name a single circumstance at any point in a pregnancy in which you would be okay with abortion being illegal?” Sanders replied: “It’s not a question of me being okay....I happen to believe that it is wrong for the government to be telling a woman what to do with her own body.”
