Candidates such as out-going Colorado Senator Mark Udall and Iowa Senator-wanna-be-but-defeated Iowa Rep. Bruce Braley, along with other Democratic candidates, ran campaigns based on an extremist pro-abortion position. They were absolutely convinced that the American public would vote for candidates who say it’s okay to kill helpless, innocent unborn babies at any stage, provided they mischaracterized opposition to this extremism as a “war on women.”
But they took this charade even further. Pro-abortion figures such as Hillary Clinton and Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards tried to tell voters that female candidates who oppose abortion know nothing about what women really want.
pichillary11Clinton, at a pro-Braley rally, told voters in Iowa, “It’s not enough to be a woman, you have to be committed to expand rights and opportunities for all women.” Because Joni Ernst (who defeated Braley) thinks unborn babies should be protected, she isn’t committed to expanding rights and opportunities for women?
Obviously, the voters didn’t see Ernst in that light. She won by almost a hundred thousand votes and she is now the pro-life Senator-elect from Iowa.
Pro-abortion advocates like to say abortion is a woman’s issue, but only pro-abortion women should voice their opinions. Indeed, they come very close to saying it is illegitimate for a woman who is pro-life to speak on abortion. The voices of pro-life women just don’t count. The hypocrisy, or should I say the gall, of people who think you have to want to kill unborn children in order to be pro-woman is stunning.

On Tuesday, an 18-year old college student won election to the West Virginia House of Delegates, becoming the youngest legislator in the country. This young woman, Saira Blair, is staunchly pro-life. She defeated a 66-year old incumbent in the Republican primary, then went on to defeat the Democrat nominee, a 44-year old attorney, in the general election.
Many of the comments that appeared in the Wall Street Journal comment section that accompanied its article were rude and derogatory with respect to her age. But others were convinced it was even worse that she is pro-life. Here are some of those comments (the very crudest we omit):
* It’s amazing to see such a young person campaign and get elected, but horrible that she’s a young woman against women’s rights and gun control.
* Fresh out of high school and becoming a state lawmaker is a large feat, but she is running against young women’s rights. I only hope she realizes that the Republican party does not have best intentions for her and other women.
* Oh. I thought this was interesting until I saw “antiabortion”. That is very unfortunate. It’s one thing to have a bunch of middle- to older-aged men decide about your reproductive rights as a woman. Quite another an 18-year-old girl.
We already know that Hillary Clinton and Cecile Richards, claiming to speak for women, would not support Miss Blair’s election. I’m waiting to see if groups like the National Organization for Women will defend a young woman who wants to get into politics.
Since she’s pro-life, I won’t hold my breath.
I think a lot of female voters are getting tired of being nothing more than a walking uterus to the Democrat party.
Buh-bye Hlllary! Hope obscurity suits you!
I think female voters see through the BS.
Hillary is a vestige of a bygone period in American politics.
She just does not realize it yet.
I am all in favor of adopting the Dem tactic of attacking front runners early.
Glad to see it happening already.
Because this is a person who should never be given power of any type.
Abortion was never about a woman’s right to choose, it was about annihilating a race. How about we use the term RACIST towards THEM, like they like to use it about anything that worries them. Clinton is a Racist!
Hillary, aren’t you glad your mother didn’t feel this way?
“Hillary is a vestige of a bygone period in American politics.”
Woodstock is over. It ended with Charlie and his Angels if you know what I mean.
It’s looking that way, except for the welfare mother voting block. I wonder how elections would go if, to be a voter you have to pay net federal income taxes. i.e. pay more in taxes than you receive from the government in services with the exception of retirement SS, since you paid for that.
The gender equivalent to the racist chant that some blacks are not black enough.
I would like to ask Hillary: “As Commited as China?”
You know there would be a LOT fewer women in this country if we had China’s “enlightened progressive policy”... right?
Hillary cannot push her own reset button.
This “woman” is a complete psycopath.
I think a lot of female voters are getting tired of being nothing more than a walking uterus to the Democrat party.

Bunch of Freaks at the DNC, moreso than the circus by many magnitudes...
All the feminazis should report to abortion clinics for proper disposal.
Their mothers to get refunds and coupons to get replacement dogs, that will be more grateful.

Billary knows how to speak with words that are intentionally positive news to extremists on the left, because the words serve two purposes.
They are code words and phrases, such as “expanding rights and opportunities for woman” which Billary KNOWS her designated audience thinks of as including abortion, but they are non-specific enough for, when talking to other audiences, they leave themselves wiggle room out of such commitments.
Their way of speaking is to ALWAYS speak in half-truths. With half truths they can be lying about something or lying about what they really think.

Sounds like an awesome kickstarter program!
Give them a free plane ticket to oregon and a refund to their relatives!
If a woman has the right to decide to decide when a life ends, invitro, who has the right to decide when a life ends of a fully developed adult?
If it’s not a baby,
......yer not pregnant. ...
