Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said that an 'unborn person' does not have constitutional rights during a television interview on Sunday.

While speaking on NBC's Meet the Press, Clinton made the statement as she responded to a question about her abortion stance and if she thinks an 'unborn child' has constitutional protections.

'Well, under our laws currently, that is not something that exists,' Clinton said on NBC.

'The unborn person doesn't have constitutional rights.

'Now, that doesn't mean that we don't do everything we possibly can in the vast majority of instances to, you know, help a mother who is carrying a child and wants to make sure that child will be healthy, to have appropriate medical support.'

The former first lady explained that her position on abortion is in line with the Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade and that women have the right to make the decision about abortion.

'Women have the Constitutional right to make these most intimate and personal and difficult decisions based on their conscience, their faith, their family, their doctor and that it is something that really goes to the core of privacy,' Clinton said.

'And I want to maintain that constitutional protection under Roe v. Wade.

'As you know, there is room for reasonable kinds of restrictions. After a certain point in time, I think the life, the health of the mother are clear.

'And those should be included even as one moves on in that pregnancy.'

Meet the Press host Chuck Todd responded to Clinton's answer by questioning a comment she previously made about there being room for some restrictions concerning abortions and asked if it's fair to say 'that women don't always have a full right to choose'.

'Well, under Roe v. Wade that is the law. And as I said, I support the reasoning and the outcome in Roe v. Wade. So in the third trimester of pregnancy, there is room for looking at the life and the health of the mother.

'Now, most people, not all Republicans, not all conservatives even agree with the life of the mother. But most do.

'Where the distinction comes in is the health of the mother.

'And when you have candidates running for president who say that there should be no exceptions, not for rape, not for incest, not for health, then I think you've gotten pretty extreme.

'And my view has always been this is a choice. It is not a mandate.'

She explained that her experience traveling all over the world has helped her to see what happens when governments 'make theses decisions', referencing forced abortion in China and forced childbearing in communist Romania.
