'Theres a cruelty to it': Hillary Clinton discusses Arizona abortion law with Kelly Clarkson

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said of Arizona's abortion law that "there's a cruelty to it" while discussing it on "The Kelly Clarkson Show" in a Monday interview.

"I feared it would happen but I hoped it wouldn't happen. Now here we are in the middle of this very difficult period for women in about half the states in our country, who cannot get the care that they need. And the old law in Arizona is without exceptions and the danger to women's lives as well as to our right to make our own decisions about our bodies and ourselves is so profound," Clinton said when Clarkson expressed her disagreement with the law.

"There's a cruelty toward women, towards women's lives," she said, making no mention of the cruelty abortion represents to unborn life.

"I have so many different random types of people in my life that have so many different ways of thinking, about politics, faith, everything. And all of it is fine, but it's one of those things, what I'm hearing from everyone, is that they're just exhausted and they feel powerless, and even if I do vote, what does it matter?" Clarkson said.

Clinton said it was important to vote to "make life better for the maximum number of people."

"And not be trying to impose your views on the rest of us, so whatever you care about, voting is your superpower and it may not seem like it, but it really is," Clinton said.
