Hillary Clinton said that she's "always in favor of women running" for president, and does not think Carly Fiorina should be judged differently because she is the only woman in the Republican race.
"People need to hold women's policies up to light and determine what their answers to problems would be before deciding to support them," she told Time. "I'm willing to subject myself to that process and try to earn every vote; I assume any woman running would do the same." Clinton stopped short of saying that Fiorina was being treated differently by her fellow Republican candidates. "She will have to speak for herself," she said.
Clinton also said she took issue with Fiorina's criticism of Planned Parenthood, and Fiorina's description of a video she claimed to have watched that was filmed during the aftermath of an abortion. "Obviously, I disagree fundamentally with a number of positions that she's put forward," Clinton said. "I think that her full-throated, inaccurate attack on Planned Parenthood was really ill-advised and inflammatory."
