November 7, 2016 (LifeSiteNews)–Does Hillary Clinton think we should “protect the next generation” or that the next generation “doesn't have constitutional rights”?
Both, apparently.
Throughout her political career, Clinton has touted herself as an advocate for children and families while also defending the destruction of tiny children in the womb.
Here are some statements she made in a January 2016 ad:
- “All of us have a responsibility to ourselves, to our children, to each other”
- “We intend to be sure that everybody in this room and every child in this state is somebody.”
- “I’ve spent my life fighting for children, families, and our country, and I’m not stopping now.”
- “No matter where they’re born, no matter to whom they are born, our children’s future is shaped both by the values of their parents and the policies of their nation.”
Compare those with just a few things she has said about abortion:
- “The unborn person doesn't have constitutional rights.”
- “Rights have to exist in practice, not just on paper. Laws have to be backed up with resources, and political will. Deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs, and structural biases have to be changed.”
- “I believe that forcing a woman to carry a child who she knows will die is an assault…”
- “[Family] planning is an important part of women's health, and reproductive health includes access to abortion.”
- “We've gotta continue to stand up for a woman's right to make these decisions–and to defend Planned Parenthood.”
- “I support Roe v. Wade.“
- “Roe v. Wade very clearly sets out that there can be regulations on abortion so long as the life and health of the mother are taken into account and when I voted as a senator [against banning partial-birth abortion], I did not think that that was [the] case.”
- “The kinds of cases that fall at the end of pregnancy are often the most heartbreaking, painful decisions for families to make. I have met with women who toward the end of their pregnancy get the worst news one could get: that their health is in jeopardy if they continue to carry to term, or that something terrible has happened or just been discovered about the pregnancy. I do not think the United States government should be stepping in and making those most personal of decisions for women. So, you can regulate if you are doing so with the life and health of the mother taken into account…this is one of the worst possible choices any woman and her family has to make.”
- “I've been to countries where governments either forced women to have abortions like they used to do in China or force women to bear children like they used to do in Romania. And I can tell you the government has no business in the decisions that women make with their families in accordance with their faith, with medical advice, and I will stand up for that right.”
- “Now, extreme views about women, we expect that from some of the terrorist groups, we expect that from people who don’t want to live in the modern world, but it’s a little hard to take from Republicans who want to be the president of the United States.”
- “I’ve been proud to stand with Planned Parenthood for a long time, and, as president, I will always have your back.”
Abortion is a brutal procedure that kills over a million pre-born human beings in the United States every year. How can Clinton say that she's spent her whole life fighting for children when she has spent so much time arguing we should be allowed to legally kill them?
