XX Factor contributors Emily Bazelon and Melinda Henneberger appear on Bloggingheads.tv today to discuss all things Obama and Hillary and also talk a little about abortion.
In this first clip, Emily and Melinda talk about whether Hillary might be too much of a neocon to be President Obama's secretary of state, and how unfortunate it would be if Bill Clinton's finances torpedoed his wife's shot at the job.
And here, Emily and Melinda discuss the seemingly outlandish claim that Catholic hospitals would be forced to shut down under Obama, if the Freedom of Choice Act passes. But Melinda's done some digging, and the act could require Catholic hospitals to perform abortions. And she says that church leaders could decide to shutter the hospitals rather than sell them.
