All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.






The most common sense part of this may be the fact that you have to be born in order to be... born. Her statement is 100% correct. under the law, you have to be born in order to be entitled to your constitutional rights. As he and others correctly stated, this does not mean you can abort late term, not is she advocating for that in the interview. 

If you notice the term Citizen is clearly described; however, the word used when talking about denial of life is person. So the issue would be when does the unborn become a person (human being). I would assume  pro illegal-immigration folks might also point to this distinction. 

Like I said earlier Clinton is not "wrong" in what she said; however if you listen to the interview (BTW, the interview is about 4 months old), she points to a woman's choice as the deciding factor, not the woman's well-being. This could leave one to believe that she would be allow an abortion to happen this late in the process.
