Last night, at a dinner, Senator Clinton took aim at the Bush administration on abortion and contraception. She told a women’s group that “reproductive health care and family planning service is a basic right,” and made reference to U.N. Beijing Women’s conference of ten years ago, which Hillary Clinton, then First Lady, played no small role in. There’s a follow-up event to that at the U.N. this year. If Hillary really wants to run in ‘08 and is savvy, she might find away to disappear during it, making the papers write about her moderation (not that they ever noticed the radicalism of the confab ten years ago) while the U.S. abortion lobby goes nutty that Bush people are there. But last night, relatively mild for though it was, makes me wonder about her plan. Any NARAL events on the senator’s schedule?
