Pro-Abortion Senator Kirstin Gillibrand Drops Out of Democrat Presidential Race
LIFE NEWS ^ | AUG, 28, 2019 | Steven Ertelt

Kirstin Gillibrand is one of more than 20 Democrats hoping to challenge President Donald Trump in 2020. She has a 100-percent pro-abortion voting record and recently voted against a bill to protect newborns from infanticide.

But the New York senator decided to drop after today after lackluster results, a low polling and fundraising standing, and the inability to make it to prime time debates.

The two-term senator for New York told the New York Times in an interview she would endorse another Democratic candidate, but she hasn’t yet decided. She will now try to keep her Senate seat.

“Today, I am ending my campaign for president. I am so proud of this team and all we’ve accomplished. But I think it’s important to know how you can best serve. To our supporters: Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Now, let’s go beat Donald Trump and win back the Senate,” she said on Twitter.

Gillibrand campaigned as an ardent abortion activist.

Gillibrand lumped pro-life advocates and racists into the same category during an interview with the Des Moines Register. Calling both decidedly immoral, the New York senator said she would never consider appointing anyone with such beliefs to a court if she was elected president.

“I will only appoint judges and justices that see Roe v Wade as settled precedent, because it is,” she said. She also claimed abortions are “basic human rights” for women.

Gillibrand said she respects “the rights of every American to hold their religious beliefs true to themselves,” but America does have a “separation of church and state.” She criticized the Trump administration for appointing “ultra-radical conservative judges and justices” who “impose their faith on Americans.”

“There is no moral equivalency when you come to racism,” Gillibrand said, “and I do not believe there is a moral equivalency when it comes to changing laws that deny women reproductive freedom.”

By claiming the moral high ground, Gillibrand tries to justify her plan to appoint biased, activist judges to the highest courts in America. In her mind, there should be no question about whether abortion is moral – she insists that it is, despite polls consistently showing that a majority of Americans disagree.

She also fundraised off her support of infanticide.

Unlike Gillibrand, most Americans recognize that abortion is, at the very least, troubling because it kills an innocent human life. Like racism, abortion devalues some lives by allowing certain groups of human beings to oppress others for their personal gain. That oppression is what Gillibrand would support if elected president. By nominating only activist judges, she would use her power as a tool of oppression against unborn babies and the millions of Americans who believe unborn babies deserve to be protected under the law.

“Pro-Abortion Senator Kirstin Gillibrand Drops Out of Democrat Presidential Race”

That’s hardly a distinguishing modifier. They’re all rabid abortionists.

No word from her about how white democrats blocked her feminine self from reaching the presidency... that is somehow taboo to call them out on their misogynism, just like Hillary cowered under OBama like a little champ

Even as a member of Congress, she had no business running for POTUS. Same with Harris, Warren and many others.

....there is ample evidence that Sen Gillibrand's father worked for the Nxivm sex cult in Albany.
Her father, Doug Rutnik, was Nxivm's attorney for four months in 2004 at $25,000 per month.

In 2004 Gillibrand left her NYC law firm to work in his Albany office, the period her father was working for Nxivm.

Isn't that a coincidence? Gillibrand endorsed Eric Schneiderman for NYAG. Schneiderman later investigated Nxivm.......
then he suddenly closed the case BUT nobody knows what happened to the evidence. E/S collected.

Was there a Gillibrand/Schneiderman quid pro quo deal?

>

Schneiderman was ousted as NYAG b/c women came forward, said he slapped,
choked and spat at them in his bedroom. The "tolerant and compassionate" liberal
called a woman of color his "brown slave."

==============================

Keep this on the front burner. Schneiderman had better have some answers.....or else.

BACKSTORY As the NYAG, Schneiderman (then a full blown sex deviate behind closed doors)
suddenly announced he had suspended his investigations into Albany's NXIVM sex cult.

Despite an admission that he had accumulated tons of evidence, Schneiderman decided to look the other way.

WE HEREBY DEMAND TO KNOW: What did Schneiderman do with all the evidence?

If evidence has been destroyed, Schneiderman has got problems even bigger than those found in his bedroo

Her endorsement will be a kiss of death.

Mystery solved--they aren't selling the T shirts any more because she is withdrawing.

They would make great shirts for training police dogs to take down crooks and con-artists. ;-)
