CNSNews.com) - A pro-life activist says he''s "profoundly disappointed" that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has "snubbed a dialogue with pro-life groups" - after she expressed interest in finding common ground with them.
The Rev. Patrick J. Mahoney, director of the Christian Defense Coalition, said pro-life leaders, including himself, have been trying for two months to arrange a face-to-face meeting with Sen. Clinton, but she has declined.
In late January, Sen. Clinton urged a group of abortion rights supporters to find common ground with pro-lifers. "We should be able to agree that we want every child born in this country to be wanted, cherished and loved," Clinton said in a speech near Albany, N.Y.
She also called abortion "a sad, even tragic choice" for many women. Even the New York Times, in reporting on Sen. Clinton''s speech, said she "appeared to be reaching out beyond traditional core Democrats who support abortion rights.
The Christian Defense Coalition is miffed at Sen. Clinton''s apparent refusal to meet.
"It now seems that the statements Senator Clinton made concerning finding common ground on abortion, were politically motivated and not sincere," Mahoney said in a press release.
"These comments should now be viewed as an attempt to reinvent herself and appear less radical on the issue of abortion in light of the 2008 race for the White House."
Mahoney said it is "critical" for the American public to focus more on what Senator Clinton does concerning abortion, rather than what she says, in the run-up to the 2008 presidential campaign.
The Christian Defense Coalition planned to hold a news conference in Washington on Tuesday to "discuss these issues."
YA THINK???!
Not to worry, many of the baby-killers don't like her, either, and believe she is a lying, neocommunist, scumbag!
Well, DUHHHHH!!!! Does a pig have pork, Is the Pope Catholic, does the bear poop in the woods, does Ted Kennedy drink????
That has to rank up there with the most inane, airheaded statements of the 21st century. Dang, who would have thunk it?
The words "Hillary Clinton" and "sincere" cannot logically be used in the same sentence together, unless they are used in a negative sense (as in "Hillary Clinton is never sincere.")
Oh God help us. The Marxist Medusa is already starting to build the world's tallest BS pile! Glad to see the "alert" jumping on it, although Hitlery's honesty is never it question --- BECAUSE IT DOES NOT EXIST.
DO NOT be surprised if she does meet with a pro-life group of her own choosing and also meets with the Minutemen since she has chosen both issues as her platform right now. But she will do it on her own time when she sees a good photo-op. I don't trust that woman.
Of course her long history of pro-choice statements have been equally sincere. Hillary Clinton doesn't give a rat's a$$ about anything but Hillary Clinton. She will do or say anything that will get her votes, money, or power.
Well practiced liar.
I assume you are referring to Hitlery. IMO, she's not a good liar. She is so transparently calculating it is pathetic. There is not a genuine bone or body cell in her body. She is not even a good politician.
People tie themselves up on what politicians say and pay little attention to their actions. When Hillary rejects Schumer and his institution of filibusters of judicial nominees, then maybe I will recognize, certainly not pay attention to, Hillary's existence.
Unlike Freepers - most of the American public do not see Hillary in the same evil light that we do. We have to constantly make sure they see the real Hillary otherwise we are in for trouble in 2008.
...is an oxymoron.
DUHHH!!
Of course she declined, Reverend. She's not about to communicate directly with a Commoner like you. If she's in a good mood (rare), The Hildbeaste might send out a lackey spokesperson to dictate to you.
Now, fast forward to 2008. Shudder.
No, it's not a Charmin commercial. It's Hillary's! true feelings about conservatism.
