Factor, why Clinton so far-left on the social scale?

He opposed partial-birth abortion

And he also supported the DOMA and the War on Drugs and offended the gay rights movement. But the scale is based on their positions at the time of their presidencies, and out of the Presidents on the list, he was the least socially conservative of them.

I believe Clinton was opposed to the procedure known as D&X, however, he vetoed a Republican ban which did not have an exception for the health of the mother. To be fair, the Republicans were concerned that adding such an exception would create a loophole.
