STEUBENVILLE, OHIO -- Bill Clinton was confronted by anti-abortion rights activists at a rally for his wife Hillary in Steubenville, OH last night and the former President did not back down.

A few protesters, standing in the middle of the standing audience in front of the stage, displayed a sign in the middle of the speech reading “Abortion Kills Children.”

LUBBOCK, TEX. -- For someone who’s supposed to be out stumping for his wife in Texas, former President Bill Clinton sure has been making subtle, yet distinct steps toward plugging his own legacy.
