Chelsea Clinton: I Left the Church at Age Six Over Abortion
Townhall.com ^ | Christine Rousselle

Posted on 02/12/2016 7:16:09 AM PST by Kaslin

Chelsea Clinton, the daughter of former President Bill Clinton and current Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, said in an interview at a Hillary Clinton fundraiser that she left the Baptist church because she was not happy that she was told about abortion when she was a 6-year-old.

From LifeNews:

"I find it quite insulting sometimes when people say to my mom, my dad or me . . . that they question our faith,' said Chelsea. "I was raised in a Methodist church and I left the Baptist church before my dad did, because I didn't know why they were talking to me about abortion when I was 6 in Sunday school — that's a true story."

"My mother is very deeply a person of faith," Chelsea said. "It is deeply authentic and real for my mother, and it guides so much of her moral compass, but also her life's work."

"I recognized that there were many expressions of faith that I don't agree with and feel [are] quite antithetical to how I read the Bible," Chelsea said. "But I find it really challenging when people who are self-professed liberals kind of look askance at my family's history."

On Twitter, many people raised eyebrows at Chelsea's story:

@EsotericCD This is why the left doesn't trust her. Her pandering is so outrageously and obviously false it makes no sense.— Seth Mandel (@SethAMandel) February 11, 2016

There is no possible reason for an American child of six years old to have to know what abortion is....None.— Colonel (@laurakfillault) February 11, 2016

@StevenErtelt @SOcean5 6 y/o's are more concerned with Sunday school snacks- I call bullshit— bee kay (@beekaytulsa) February 11, 2016

How does Chelsea get away w/saying crazy stuff like this? She also discussed Bush tax cuts as towers fell on 9/11. https://t.co/zTsWwZvg4f— Karol Markowicz (@karol) February 11, 2016

Two possibilities: 1) she's a bold-faced liar, or 2) she was a really creepy & depraved 6 year old. https://t.co/zE7GwjvQc5— Sarah Rumpf (@rumpfshaker) February 11, 2016

Now, while I'm not a Baptist and I've never been to church in Arkansas, but as someone who helped teach C.C.D. classes to kindergarteners at my parish for two years while I was in high school, I am positive that nothing involving abortion was ever mentioned to my students in my classroom. It's not appropriate to discuss abortion to someone who is that young, and that topic should be saved for someone who is more mature and able to understand what is happening. Further, most 6-year-olds I taught were far more concerned with coloring than social issues.

Also true Christians do NOT communicate with the dead as Hillary claimed she did....
All of you famously learned when I served as president, my wife, now the secretary of state, was known to commune with Eleanor Roosevelt on a regular basis," he continued. "And so she called me last night on her way home from Peru to remind me to say that. That Eleanor had talked to her and reminded her that I should say that."

Does anybody really buy this horse blank??

At age 6, Chelsea left the church?? What 6 year old decides to leave a church over abortion teachings??? Really??? And her parents had nothing to say about what church she was attending??? This story sounds like something somebody made up.

Abortion is primarily used to kill future Democrat voters.
Bizarre isn’t it?

Sure you did, Miss Hubbell... at age 6. Right.

Now, STFU and go do something constructive.

No, you don't understand

It was somewhere around six years old I realized who and what my parents are, and if my mother HAD aborted me .... I could be with a good Christian family or something instead of ..... this

My mother chose not to abort me .... THAT'S the problem

It IS about abortion

Goodness me. She lies as well as her parents do. A regular chip off the old block. I have no doubt that Bill and Hillary couldn’t be more proud.

Well, she found out how many black babies are aborted and could not abide the church’s opposition to such a great idea so she left the church and joined one that saw the merit in the idea. At age six.

Webb Hubbell is a convicted felon.

Hubbell plead guilty to one count of wire fraud and one count of tax fraud in connection with his legal billing at the Rose Law Firm and on June 28, 1995, Judge George Howard sentenced Hubbell to 21 months’ imprisonment.

“Is being dishonest a genetic trait?”

Clearly, Chelsea has inherited multiple copies of the Prevarication Gene from both her parents.

The apple doesn’t fall very far from the tree, does it? What a tortured, obtuse, ivy league attempt at putting a square peg in a round hole. All they can ever do is attack America.

The spawn of political correctness, relativism, elitism, and lust for power. PUKE

I hate to say this, but it is too bad she wasn’t aborted by Hillary.
