Senator Hillary Clinton Blasts Bush Administration over Abortion [Abstinance won't stop AIDS]

NEW YORK, January 12, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) Abortion crusader and New York Senator Hillary Clinton condemned US President George W. Bush Tuesday, claiming his withdrawal of funding from organizations that commit or promote abortions is harming women.
Speaking at an International Women's Health Coalition-sponsored dinner, Clinton claimed that "reproductive health care and family planning service is a basic right," and said this was based on decisions reached at the 1994 U.N. Population Conference in Cairo, as well as the 1995 U.N. women's conference in Beijing, where Clinton gave a keynote address.
She argued that the Bush administration has failed to uphold the so-called reproductive rights of women, by withdrawing funding from abortion-supporting organizations such as the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA).
Clinton also maintained that the Presidents focus on abstinence in sex education was hampering efforts to halt the spread of HIV/AIDS, despite the UNs own admission that condom failure rate for preventing HIV transmission may be as high as 20 percent.
"ABC is a good strategy, but it has three parts to it and we need to remind the administration of that".
The highly successful Ugandan ABC program first emphasizes abstinence, being faithful within marriage, and lastly, condom use, as measures to prevent the HIV transmission rate. Experts say the Ugandan success is comparable to a "highly effective vaccine." The last, least emphasized and least effective part of the Ugandan program, which involves condoms, is presumably the component that Clinton was referring to.
The innocuous-sounding International Women's Health Coalition promotes abortion and contraception through funding programs in Africa, South and Central America. Their web site describes . . . the world's most challenging health and rights issue as comprehensive sexuality education for adolescents and young adults.
IWHC also actively opposes the Bush administration policies that oppose the funding of abortion. We have worked with other organizations and governments to defeat U.S. efforts at meetings in Asia and at the UN to remove reproductive health and other key phrases from negotiating texts, their web site states.

No respect for the beliefs of Catholics in those areas of the world. I suspect that promoting abortion in Catholic countries does not help our image.

Abstinence really won't stop AIDS. It will just keep it from spreading. Guess Hillary never thought of that.

And abortions stop AIDs how? The smartest woman in the world has figured out how--can't you?
If the baby is aborted, it can't get AIDS. Simple, no?

Must be one of those rights they forgot to put in the constitution.

OH! I guess that DOES make it a 'right'. I stand corrected. Apparently our constitution's irrelevant.

No. Sorry, I live in PA. Are things truly pretty bad there? I hear the occasional story, but I don't know anyone in NY.

Hillary + abortion advocacy + mentioning a name with the UN in it = 0 for 52 posts for her comments so far. And so it goes.

NYS has been losing population for about 20 years now. The biggest employer in this atate is probably the State. Our Republican pols are like demoscrats and the Dems are like Socialists.
Actually the puppetmasters - the unions - run the state through their puppets the pols.

Sorry to hear that. If NY is to remain(become) viable, that much change.
I heard something recently about some idiot with the NYC public schools who claimed that the rest of the state contributed to their problems, so they were obligated to pay for them. The shear arrogance is mind numbing. Wish I could remember the detail. It was pretty freaky.

I'm thumbing the pages too ... nope, I don't see it. But, to coin a phrase from her hubby, "That all depends on what your definition of 'is' is."

There it is. What it has to do with U.S. law or the Constitution, I have no idea.

I would not want to be her when she dies.
