Hillary Clinton attacks ‘MAGA’ Supreme Court and blames Trump for ‘horrifying’ abortion possibility

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton denounced former President Donald Trump over what she sees as a likely Supreme Court decision on abortion.
Clinton was referring to oral arguments in the Supreme Court over whether Idaho’s near-total prohibition of abortions conflicts with federal emergency medicine statutes. The former unsuccessful presidential candidate laid the blame for the possible decision against a rescinding of the law at Trump’s feet.
“Breaking: The MAGA Supreme Court majority appears ready to rule that the right to ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness’ doesn’t extend to women with pregnancy complications or who otherwise need abortions,” she said Wednesday afternoon. “This is horrifying, and it is because of Donald Trump.”
“We won’t allow our daughters and granddaughters to grow up with fewer rights than we had,” she added in another post.
Clinton has recently ramped up her criticisms of the Republican who defeated her in the 2016 election. In an appearance on the Defending Democracy podcast, she claimed that Trump was trying to kill and imprison journalists and his opposition.
“Trump was like, you know, just gaga over Putin because Putin does what Trump would like to do — kill his opposition, imprison his opposition, drive journalists and others into exile, rule without any check or balance,” Clinton said. “That’s what Trump really wants.”

After her 2016 loss, the former first lady has continued to speak on behalf of Democrats and stay in the public spotlight, including by hosting a podcast with her daughter, Chelsea.
The Idaho abortion law that earned Clinton’s attention only allows exceptions for the life of the mother. The Biden administration sued the state under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act, arguing that abortion is included under lifesaving medical care. The Supreme Court appeared divided, or even skeptical, of the argument.
