“Christians will just have to change their beliefs.” —Hillary Clinton

That might be implied in what she said, but it's not a direct quote.

Yes, we've nearly closed the global gender gap in primary school, but secondary school remains out of reach for so many girls around the world. Yes, we've increased the number of countries prohibiting domestic violence, but still more than half the nations in the world have no such laws on the books, and an estimated one in three women still experience violence. Yes, we've cut the mortality rate in half, but far too many women are still denied critical access to reproductive health care and safe childbirth.

All the laws we've passed don't count for much if they're not enforced. Rights have to exist in practice, not just on paper. Laws have to be backed up with resources and political will. And deep seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed.

That can certainly be taken as a reference to Christians and abortion in the US, but that would be only a part of what she was talking about, not the main point.

I am surprised that nobody has pushed back to her yet and asked “Just what ‘religious beliefs’ are you talking about, bustress?”
