March 7, 2005 Hillary Rodham Clinton criticizes Bush abortion stance
NEW YORK Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton had some critical words for the Bush administration during a forum marking the tenth anniversary of the U-N's fourth World Conference on Women. The New York Democrat says the administration's policy of withholding aid from overseas groups that perform abortions is hurting women and forcing clinics to close.
Clinton says 20 (m) million women worldwide risk unsafe abortions every year, 68-thousand die and many more are injured.
At a U-N meeting last week marking the anniversary of the Beijing conference, the United States backed down on a proposed anti-abortion amendment.
