Fox News host Kayleigh McEnany, a conservative Christian, suggested Democrats were to blame because abortions were no longer "safe, legal and rare."
During a Sunday panel discussion on Fox News, McEnany noted that Planned Parenthood was expected to offer free abortions and vasectomies at the Democratic National Convention. The Fox News host countered the idea with Hillary Clinton's 2008 campaign statement that abortions should be "safe, legal and rare."
"Safe, legal, and rare was the Democratic mantra in 2008," the Fox News host ranted. "What happened to that?"
Fox News contributor Marie Harf observed that the network's polling found abortion and health care to be the third and fourth-highest-ranked issues for voters.
"On the first, Kamala Harris outpolls Donald Trump by 16 points and on health care by 11," Harf explained. "And I think one of the reasons for that is because Kamala Harris and other national Democrats have talked about abortion as health care, which it is in Republican-led states where they have banned abortion."
"We have women in ER bathrooms almost bleeding to death," she added before McEnany interrupted.
"What happened to safe, legal, and rare?" the Fox News host demanded.
"Because doctors are terrified because of Republican legislators of treating women who medically need what is technically an abortion," Harf explained. "And I think it should be safe, legal, and rare. I think Democrats do better when we don't appear to be celebrating abortion. But I think when we remind people that it is a health care necessity in some cases for women for health reasons."
Harf reminded McEnany that Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, had not ruled out a national abortion ban.

"Republicans have become so extreme on this," she continued. "J.D. Vance is incredibly extreme on this."
"I think the Democrats have been very clear that they want a return to what Roe v. Wade had in place nationally," Harf added. "And that when it is left up to the states, it results in women in danger, medically in danger."
Federal abortion rights were revoked after Supreme Court justices put in place by Trump struck down Roe v. Wade.
