(Hillary Clinton Attempts to Moderate Abortion Message Before Elections)



Meaning that now she only wants to murder the children that haven't been born yet?

[Starve The Beast]

She's done this before, and it's one of her advantages in her bid for the White House. Can you imagine John Kerry or Al Gore "moderating" their views on abortion? Any other leftie in the country would be ripped to pieces by NARAL, NOW, Planned Parenthood, and a host of other left-wing groups who masquerade as feminist or civil rights organizations. But they'll shut up when Hillary says things like this.

Her defense of the indefensible of partial birth infanticide will always stick in my mind. This woman is a liar and couldn't find the truth if bill's life depended upon it. Come to think of it ... naw, forget it, she's just a cheap crusty pantsuit.

Well they know she doesn't mean it.

[Starve The Beast]

Well they know she doesn't mean it.

None of them do. It's just 'playing to the center'. But nobody else could get away with even saying it.

[TexasCajun]

A moderate abortionist? Sorta like being a little pregnant.

[MHGinTN]

From the link! ... "Let us unite around a common goal of reducing the amount of abortions..."not by making them illegal as many are attempting to do or overturning Roe v. Wade and undermining the constitutional protections that decision provided, but by preventing unintended pregnancies in the first place through education, contraception, accessible health care and services, empowering women to make decisions." Hillary Diane Clinton First, who the hell is Hillary Diane Clinton? Second, she implies she agrees with Roe as a 'constitutional' ruling. She's a fraud, pure fraud. The propaganda is ramping up to redefine this leftist societal engineering pig of a woman as a Moderate.

BTW, you trying to sneak into this forum as a Hillary image cleanser, newbie?

[showme_the_Glory]

In her mother's and her mother-in-law's case, I would agree that abortion would be acceptable/preferred.

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

How anyone could believe anything but the most hard-left positions of this hag mystifies me.

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

I like the way you think.

MGH, you got me thinking. A quick search of activity for Bluerose1980 turns up a total of three posts, all new threads about Hillary Clinton, earliest post just over a week ago, and no replies to other threads.

I've gotta say, I think you nailed this one.

[bluerose1980]

checking on my history..yes..i have been digging into hillary's views on abortion..im doing a research on politicians like her with regard their opinions on issues such as this..i just would like to share what i have dugged unto..nothing really on promotions or doing the contrary for anybody..specialy politicians..and yes im a newbie..just found out about the site..

[bluerose1980]

she's done it many times..not just on abortion..even on the gay marriage issue..she changes stance every now and then..

[Liz]

Hillary suddenly found something in a Bible she likes. Of course, Hillary could not find Biblical pasages about killing the innocent unborn....and homosexuality. Hillary's read the sacred handwriting on the electoral wall, and is cravenly chasing after the unified vote that will elect the next president----the all-powerful Christian vote. Too bad Dimocrats fail to credit the historic switch to Republicanism to candidate GWB's assiduous courting of the Catholic vote.

CATHOLIC WORLD NEWS Democratic strategists issue memo on loss of Catholics

Washington, DC, Apr. 13, 2005 (Culture of Life Foundation/CWNews.com) - A memo authored by a prominent Democratic strategy organization calls the decline in support of white Catholics for Democrats "striking" and "a big part of the 2004 election story." One of the analysis' key findings is that Catholic voters are becoming more pro-life, which the authors called "a factor in the recent losses and one of the blockages for Democrats, at least in the Midwest." The data also reveals that young Catholics are more pro-life than their parents and that bishops who speak out against pro-abortion politicians help bolster the pro-life vote.

The abortion issue is particularly potent for a group called "Democratic defectors" who either identified themselves as Democrats or voted for Bill Clinton in 1996 but voted for President Bush in the last election. Among this group, "26 percent believe that abortion should be illegal in all cases, nearly three times the number for all Catholic Democrats."

The memo was issued by Democracy Corps, a research and tactical advice organization founded by Democrat strategy virtuosos James Carville, Stanley Greenberg and Bob Shrum. Titled "Reclaiming the White Catholic Vote," it is based on data from a nationwide survey of more than 1,000 white Catholic voters. The decline in the white Catholic vote has been steady over the last decade. Clinton won it by seven percentage points; Al Gore lost it by seven points; and Sen. John Kerry lost it by 14 points. The data provided in the report provides a fascinating window into the much discussed Catholic vote and makes it clear Democrats are losing ground because of their stance on a range of cultural issues.

It turns out that one of the most contentious and visible issues in the 2004 election, the denial of the Eucharist to pro-abortion politicians, did not hurt the pro-life side as many said it would. The poll found that when white Catholics were asked whether or not they were more or less likely to vote for a Democrat that "is denied Communion by the area's bishop for voting to support abortion rights" 49 percent said they were less likely while 33 percent said they were more likely.

The memo also made it clear that the abortion issue is not going away. "Although the pro-life position is strongest among seniors, Catholics' current pro-life position does not appear likely to lessen with time. While middle-age Catholics lean toward keeping abortion legal, voters under 30 are more pro-life: 53 percent believe abortion should be illegal in most cases." The pro-life position could be a winning one for Democrats according to the study. Fifty-nine percent of white Catholics say they are more likely to support a Democratic candidate who is pro-life and 35 percent say they are less likely, giving a pro-life Democrat a 24 point advantage. Even on the East Coast where Catholics are less pro-life, a pro-life Democrat has a 12 point advantage over a pro-abortion candidate.

The memo advises Democrat candidates to get around the issue by presenting themselves as one who "[b]elieves in a woman's right to choose but believes all sides should come together around the common goal of preventing and reducing the number of abortions, with more sex ed, including abstinence, access to contraception and more adoption." This common ground approach is reminiscent of a recent speech given by New York Senator and likely presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton, in which she softened her approach to abortion by calling it a "tragic choice." In the speech she said faith-based abstinence should be embraced but also called on increased funding for "family planning services," a euphemism for contraception, abortifacients, and abortions.
