Chelsea Clinton claimed she left the Baptist Church at the age of six due to its stance on abortion, according to a recent interview.
During an fundraising event for her mother, Hillary, Chelsea made an attempt to engage with evangelical voters who have doubts about her mother’s so-called religious faith
Chelsea recalled how she felt troubled when teachers discussed the immorality of abortion in Sunday school.
“I find it quite insulting sometimes when people say to my mom, my dad or me . . . that they question our faith,’ Chelsea said.
“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 explained.
“It is deeply authentic and real for my mother, and it guides so much of her moral compass, but also her life’s work.”
However, Chelsea faced massuve backlash from many who believe that she oversimplified complex religious and ethical issues.
Here are some reactions on X:

This sin’t the first time Chelsea has made outrageous claims on abortion.
In 2018, she suggested it would go against Christian values for the U.S. to revert to a time before Roe v. Wade.
“When I think about all of the statistics today in our country… and how many women died and how many more women were maimed because of unsafe abortion practices, we just can’t go back to that,” she said at the time.
“That’s unconscionable to me, and also, I’m sure that this will unleash another wave of hate in my direction, but as a deeply religious person, it’s also unchristian to me.”
I have serious doubts that Chelsea knew what abortion was, at the age of 6.
If only her mother knew what it was then.
How many millions of growing up girls are brainwashed into loving abortion ? Girl scouts probably have a merit badge for a completed termination.
I believe it. She saw a rerun of Howdy Doody, looked in the mirror, and didn't want to risk having kids.
My granddaughter was about 8.....”How could anyone kill their own baby”?
And right afterwards she was jogging by the WTC on 11 September 2001 at eight-thirty in the morning.
How many 6-year-olds leave a church over the abortion issue?
How many 6-year-olds have any coherent understanding of the moral issues involved with abortion?
How many 6-year-olds leave any church? Do they inform their parents that they cannot attend such a church anymore, and then parents dutifully take that child out of that church to another church?
This story is very high on the unbelievable index.
Oh, fer shur, when I want moral advice, I go straight to the Clintons, the godly family that they are. (barf)
Chelsea’s photographs wearing an upside down cross surely epitomize her views of Christianity
Besides, does not every 6 yr old believe Mommies should kill unborn babies they don’t want?
I don't question the Clintons faith. I question what they have faith in: power and money (and in Bill's caae, women ((to put an acceptable word on it)) ).
But still...Obama won..And Trump won....
Would someone tell her that God doesn't respond to "junk" requests.
Don’t you love it when atheists are always telling Chritians how to believe.
My cat just threw up!
Hillary was deeply moved by her faith when she directed the vicious “nuts and sluts” attacks on women who caused trouble for Bill.
Lol.
Kinda like Kamala’s “fweedom” stories.
Neither pass the sniff test.
I just threw up on the cat.
*** that’s a true story***
Sounds like Chelsea is channeling her inner Joe.
LOL!
Once they no longer had to campaign for political offices Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, and Al Gore all left the Southern Baptist church.
