Portsmouth, NH (LifeNews.com) -- Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton campaigned in New Hampshire over the weekend and told voters that the she won't soften her hard-core pro-abortion views if she's elected president. That could cause her problems as a recent poll showed extreme pro-abortion views are a turnoff to women voters.
Clinton promised she would bring change as president but also vowed she would never compromise on her pro-abortion views.
"Ultimately, to bring change, you have to know when to stand your ground, and when to find common ground," she said. "You need to know when to stick to principles and fight, and know when to make principled compromises."
Clinton didn't back down from those pro-abortion views in an August speech to leaders at Planned Parenthood.
There, she pledged continuing support for the nation's largest abortion business and bragged of her 100 percent voting record with that organization.
"I'm very proud of our partnership, of working together over so many years on behalf of reproductive freedom and health care and fundamental Constitutional rights and values," she said.
"[W]hen I'm president, I will devote my very first days in office to reversing these ideological, anti-science, anti-prevention policies that this administration has put into place," she said of President Bush's pro-life policies.
Last month, the respected Polling Company firm conducted a survey with 600 women voters of both parties from August 15-20.
The poll revealed that Hillary’s positions on abortion were at odds with a majority of American women.
Some 64 percent of women voters would be less likely to vote for a presidential candidate who voted against the partial-birth abortion ban -- a measure Clinton voted against on four occasions.
Sixty-eight percent of women voters are less likely to vote for a presidential candidate who supports taxpayer-funded abortion -- something Hillary Clinton adamantly supports.
And 73 percent of those polled said they would be less likely to vote for a presidential candidate who voted against a law that would have made it a criminal act for an adult to take a girl younger than 18 years of age across state lines to get an abortion without her parents’ knowledge.
Clinton twice voted against a Congressional bill to do just that.
“Clinton needs women voters to win, yet her extreme abortion policies remain out of step with the majority of American women," Marjorie Dannenfelser, the president of the Susan B. Anthony List, told LifeNews.com about the poll.
"The feminist lobby may support her radical positions, but in the real and bigger world of women voters, Clinton’s extremism fails to translate into votes. Hillary needs more in common with women voters than anatomy," Dannenfelser added.
The right to kill babies is some damn principal!!
As a new Freeper, how do I get added to “pings” and so on?...
In case someone forgot to mention it... welcome to FreeRepublic. I see that some other folks have already started dealing with "pings" and so on.
I hope this is just temporary blindness.
Not to worry—she’s not even going to be nominated.
I hope you are right. She needs to have her arrogance slapped down! I can’t stand her or him. Can you imagine having to listen to her shrill voice for the next four years?

Perhaps, and it's likely that in the general she will return to the "I just want to reduce abortions so, very, very much, I'm so nice" act she was trying a couple of years ago. But remeber this: She and Bill have at one time or another screwed every single constituency that supports them: gays, unions, even teachers. There's only one exception: the abortion industry.
What's your reasoning on that?
This seems kinda dumb. It's general-election fodder for TV ads. I don't get it. Smartest woman in the world? She's toast.
Maybe she doesn't want to win. She just wants to raise all that money and then get to keep it.
reproductive freedom and health
I would say reproductive freedom and health should be decided BEFORE SEX. That way babies won’t have to be murdered. Abortion is murder plain and simple. hillllereeee...anything for power.
the sight of both of them turns my stomach.
Wow! That picture is brutal! So that’s “choice” eh.
That baby might have grown up and be the one to cure AIDS.
Dear God...how could anyone...anyone stand around and let this slaughter continue. If I could tell hillleree any one thing I would tell her that getting the votes by promoting abortion might be ok on this earth but I’ll tell ya hilllereee...you are going to pay and pay big time for this atrocity when you meet your maker on judgement day. And...I guarantee He won’t be one of your liberal judges either. You can talk big all you want and maybe you will win...who knows? However if you support abortion you support the tremendous murder like this photo depicts. Shame on you. Pity on you. Say your prayers because when you meet your maker you will need all the prayers you can get. God forgive you for your choice of power over life.
Graphic picture, but it tells the truth.
She’s Teflon, remember? Nothing, including principles, sticks to her.
Consider: if you were a principle, would you want to have to stick to her? I thought not :)
Some photos are best left unseen like them dancing. yuk.
