If something is called "illegal" it should be illegal. Abortion will never be completely illegal. Hillary believes late term abortions should not be illegal.

It’s difficult to find research on late-term abortions, but data you can find do not support her statement.
Clinton, a candidate for the Democratic nomination for president, appeared on CBS’ “Face the Nation” on Sept. 20, when host John Dickerson asked if she supports a “federal limit on abortion at any stage of pregnancy.”
Clinton answered that this was a painful question, then went on to discuss the medical need for late-term abortions, FactCheck.org reported.
Clinton responded: “I think that the kind of late-term abortions that take place are because of medical necessity. And, therefore, I would hate to see the government interfering with that decision.”
When FactCheck.org asked her campaign about her statement, a spokesman said that she meant that many late-term abortions — not all or even most — are because of medical reasons.
But her statement sounded as if most, if not all, late-term abortions are medically necessary. And the available evidence does not support that, FactCheck.org found.
The Guttmacher Institute, which researches sexual and reproductive health and abortion, found that only 1.2 percent of all abortions in the United States take place after 20 weeks’ gestation. (FactCheck.org points out that “late-term” does not have a specific definition, but some states that prohibit later abortions define them as occurring after 20 weeks).
