During an interview with NBC's "Meet the Press" moderator Chuck Todd in 2016, then Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton was asked a question about abortion.

When Todd asked Hillary "does an unborn child have constitutional rights?" the candidate responded "the unborn person doesn't have constitutional rights."

"Now, that doesn't mean that we don't do everything we possibly can in the vast majority of instances to, you know, help a mother who is carrying a child and wants to make sure that child will be healthy, to have appropriate medical support," added Hillary.

The pro-choice Hillary found herself the object of criticism from Diana Arellano, manager of community engagement for Planned Parenthood Illinois Action, who took issue with the comment.

"@HillaryClinton further stigmatizes #abortion. She calls a fetus an 'unborn child' & calls for later term restrictions. #MeetThePress," tweeted Arellano at the time.
