On the abortion thing
I don't actually think she means that she wishes there were more unwanted pregnancies just to be able to abort the babies, even though that's what she seems to say.
I suppose she means that she's sick of Hilary's pandering, and she sees H's attempt to move to middle ground here as trying to appeal to the right wing. Lamott is obviously unambiguous about reproductive rights and doesn't find it as morally complicated as some of us do. I think the comment in the interview is just sloppy thinking and writing.
