Sarah Palin: Hillary Clinton's grandchild might 'open her eyes' on abortion

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) says she hopes grandmother-to-be Hillary Clinton will reconsider her stance on abortion now that her daughter, Chelsea, is pregnant.

"It's a real baby," Palin said in an interview with Mario Lopez. "It's not some disposable something."

"But those who — perhaps, they're in this position now as a parent or a grandparent, they realize the sanctity of life," she added, saying "maybe even on a social issue like that she'll open her eyes."
