Hillary Clinton Defends Late-Term Abortions, Calls 20-Week Ban “Extreme and Unacceptable”

Yesterday, Hilary Clinton defending late-term abortion on Twitter and called Wisconsin’s abortion ban dangerous and unacceptable.

As LifeNews previously reported, on July 19th, pro-life Governor Scott Walker signed the Pain–Capable Unborn Protection Act, making Wisconsin the 15th state to ban abortions after 20-weeks of pregnancy. Prior to signing the bill, he said, “At five months an unborn child can feel pain. As a society we should be protecting that child.”

But Hillary Clinton has a vastly different view:

Governor Walker responded with his own rejoinder calling Clinton out of touch:

Unfortunately, if Hillary Clinton becomes our next president she will further abortion-on-demand in America even though she once said she believes abortion should be rare. Bill Donohue from the Catholic League responded to her remarks and highlighted her radical abortion agenda.

He said, “We know that Hillary lied when she said she wants abortions to be rare. To be exact, she opposed the ban on partial-birth abortions: if she is okay with killing a baby who is 80 percent born, there are no instances left for her to register an objection. Now we know that Hillary lied when she said she wants to keep abortions safe. As soon as Walker signed the law protecting unborn babies from feeling pain, Hillary labeled his decision “dangerous.”

Keep up with the latest pro-life news and information on Twitter.

He added that Hillary should explain what she means when she says that this ban is dangerous, considering the fact that some of these babies feel immense pain while being dismembered. Donohue concluded, “Hillary needs to elaborate on this. Why is it not uncomfortable—forget about dangerous—for a sensate human being to be pierced with a surgical knife? Why, for example, do these babies put their fingers up to the knife in an attempt to shield them from more pain? The public has a right to know what’s going on in her mind.”

In May, Clinton joined President Obama in opposing the federal 20-week ban and said the following through a spokesperson: “Politicians should not interfere with personal medical decisions, which should be left to a woman, her family and her faith, in consultation with her doctor or health care provider.”

She added, “This bill is a direct challenge to Roe v. Wade, which has protected a woman’s constitutional right to privacy for over forty years. The bill puts women’s health and rights at risk, undermines the role doctors play in health care decisions, burdens survivors of sexual assault, and is not based on sound science.”

However, the science behind fetal pain is solid, which is why so many states in the U.S. have worked to end late abortion. Unborn children have the biological equipment necessary to feel pain no later than 20 weeks after fertilization, and nerves link receptors to the brain’s thalamus and sub-cortical plate around that same time. Researchers also found that unborn children react to pain by recoiling, which is the same way adult humans react to pain. In fact, during surgery on these little humans, fetal surgeons found that anesthesia was necessary to decrease their reaction to stress hormones.

No doubt.
And they would consider it a badge of honor to get the dough.

Maybe her ‘foundation’ gets a cut from the chop shops selling baby parts.

Regardless what activist justices wanted everybody to think about the so-called right to have an abortion, please consider the following. Since the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect having an abortion, activist justices never had an enumerated abortion right to throw at the states. So if Hillary Clinton really wants to defend late-term abortions within the framework of the Constitution, as opposed to condoning thug justices legislating such a vote-winning right from the bench, then this is what she needs to do.

Clinton needs to work with state and federal lawmakers to propose an abortion rights amendment to the Constitution to the states. And if the states choose to ratify Clinton’s amendment then abortion will be a constitutionally enumerated right and Clinton will be a hero.

such a vote-winning right from the bench

The "right" to a late term abortion is not a vote-winning right. Most people who understand what is involved, consider it a "right to commit an atrocity."

That Hillary considers a challenge to such a "right," extreme, tells us that she has not moderated from her Saul Alinsky days.

If I understand you correctly then I respectfully disagree. The so-called abortion “right” is just another carrot that corrupt politicians dangle in front of low-information citizens to help win their votes.

Hillary is without a soul, as are the rest of the ghouls who support the abortion of a baby and the sale of their body parts.

I was specifically referring to a "late term abortion." You have to be pretty sick to want to allow killing a baby almost ready to be born, on a woman's whim. Most women will acknowledge that they have mood swings; and that this option--whatever their views on earlier term abortions--is not justified.

Even if many today accept the sloganized "a woman's right to choose," the late term option is a loser if the Hillary opponent simply & calmly explains what is actually involved. Too many Conservatives lump all abortion issues together, and argue dogmatically--as opposed to persuasively. Also, almost no one actually analyzes exactly how the Left justifies abortion on whim, which has connotations that are not favorable to the justifier. (For example, see my comment on Al Gore's position in 2000, Right To Choose.)

"You have to be pretty sick to want to allow killing a baby almost ready to be born, on a woman's whim. "

Note that activist justices wrongly legislated the so-called right to abortion from the bench. They got away with doing so, sadly, because citizens do not understand that the only rights that the states are constitutionally obligated to respect are those rights which the states have amended the Constitution to expressly protect. And activist justices wrongly ignored that the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect abortion.
