During a livestream endorsement of Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton said the Coronavirus epidemic “would be a terrible crisis to waste” and declared taxpayer funded abortion services should become a priority as a result.
“This is also a really high stakes election and every form of health care should continue to be available, including reproductive health care for every woman in this country,” Clinton said on Tuesday.
“And then it needs to be part of a much larger system that eventually, and quickly, I hope, gets us to universal health care. So I can only say ‘amen’ to everything you're saying, but also to again enlist people - that this would be a terrible crisis to waste, as the old saying goes. We've learned a lot about what our absolute frailties are in our country when it comes to health justice and economic justice. So let's be resolved that we're going to solve those once you're elected president.”
“I promise you, that’s going to be my objective,” Biden replied.
