Hillary Clinton Says She Won't Compromise on Abortion if Elected President

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.

Hillary: “And in My administration, under My mandated socialist health care plan, the wholesale murder of the most innocent among us will continue unabated!”

AAHH. Hillary as The Gambler.

You gotta know when to want them
Know when to dump them
Know when to crush their skulls
Know when to burn

Given that she just blew it by reemphasizing her support for pro-abortion, the Demo leaders now realize that she may not win the election if she is nominated.

Maybe the Repubs would hope that she is nominated—would be to their advantage because the majority of women are anti-abortion.

BTW, Barrack would be more appealing to women voters if he chooses to hold down the pro-abortion that Clinton espouses.

1. I know it's still early, but I don't see how "the Demo leaders" are going to blow away her 19 point lead over Obama. I'd love to here how you think they're going to do it.

2. If you think Obama's going to get anywhere on the differences between himself and Hillary on the abortion issue, you haven't reviewed Obama's abortion record. He even opposed a bill that would have outlawed a form of medical infanticide here in Illinois.

how could anyone...anyone stand around and let this slaughter continue.

Someone whose soul is so depraved and rotted that not only does it not bother them to know that innocent human beings are slaughtered in this country every day under the protection of federal law, but who promises to use all the power they possess to continue the killings unabated.

Someone whose soul is so depraved and rotted that they don't have the base decency to pretend to be appalled and to want to stop the slaughter; they proudly and joyously celebrate the holocaust and promise to ensure that more killings will take place.

How could anyone stand around and let this slaughter continue? A hard-core, entrenched psychopath who will gleefully trample on the bodies of dead babies on her way to the most powerful political position in the world. That's who.

That’s the best description ever. You are right on all fronts. How someone can get up there and preach about the rights of children then stand by and allow this atrocity to happen and vow to keep it happening is just beyond human. She is evil to the core.

Hillary has to pander to the abortion loving dem base. Elections matter as do judicial appointments. No one should stay home.
