No Bernie, Women Don't Have a 'Constitutional Right' to a Taxpayer-Funded Abortion Yesterday, Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders made yet another wild and unfounded statement on twitter: "Abortion is a constitutional right- Not a privilege for those that can afford it." Let's be clear about the argument laid out in this tweet. Bernie isn't even having a conversation about whether or not abortion should be legal. He's moving past that, and now stating that not only should they be legal, but you have a "constitutional right" to an abortion paid for by other people. The problem he's pinpointing is not abortion's legality, but the terrible tragedy of only rich people being able to afford abortions.
