Hillary Clinton blasts Trump: Abortion is a ‘human right’

February 26, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – Hillary Rodham Clinton criticized President Donald Trump’s State Department on Twitter last week for a recent move to trim abortion language in its annual global human rights report.
“Women’s rights are human rights,” Clinton tweeted. “That was a radical idea back in 1995. It shouldn’t still be two decades later.”
Clinton was sharing a Politico report on a State Department order to cut back portions in a forthcoming annual report on global human rights.
The human rights report usually discusses “women’s reproductive rights” and discrimination, according to the Politico article. The article also said five former and current State Department officials had reported an order to remove passages describing societal views on “family planning,” including how much access women have to contraceptives and abortion.
Another section chronicling racial, ethnic and sexual discrimination had also been ordered trimmed down, according to Politico. The order is thought to have come from a top aide to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.
Previous State Department human rights reports have focused on “women's reproductive rights” in detail, Politico said, giving numerous statistics and anecdotes to illustrate scenarios in a given country.
The media outlet said the order “reflects the Trump administration’s rightward turn from the Obama administration on family planning issues.”
Clinton skirmished with then-candidate Trump over abortion during the 2016 campaign in the last debate between them.
The former First Lady, New York senator, Secretary of State and then presidential candidate stated during the debate she “strongly supported Roe v. Wade” and criticized Trump’s expressed support for defunding Planned Parenthood. She also defended having said unborn children have no constitutional rights, along with her having voted against a ban on partial-birth abortion.
Trump responded by saying, “I think it’s terrible,” of Clinton’s support for late term abortion. He described an abortion method in such detail that no other presidential candidate or president has done, then stating, “That’s not acceptable.”
Clinton’s record of abortion support is lengthy and recorded in all of her public positions.
In addition to stating that “the unborn person doesn't have constitutional rights,” she has said "religious beliefs" against abortion "have to be changed."
Clinton has repeatedly praised and defended Planned Parenthood, and she supported the Obama Administration's HHS contraception and abortion mandate forcing religious institutions and churches to fund abortion.
As a New York senator, she argued passionately against banning partial-birth abortion and voted against the ban. While First Lady, her husband explained his refusal to sign the partial-birth abortion ban by saying, "Hillary and I prayed about it, and it's the right thing to do."
Since losing the presidency to Donald Trump in 2016 Clinton has called legalized abortion-on-demand "sacrosanct" and said support for it should be a litmus test for Democratic Party legislators.
At Planned Parenthood’s annual gala last May Clinton had also said supporting abortion is "the right and moral position to take."

Is killing old people a human right too?
To: SeekAndFind
Still on your warpath killing babies? Girl, you are too close to the end of your time here to be that stupid.
Got a prayer for ya, Hilly:
May the Lord knock you, Evil, tool of Satan, off yer ass, blind you to the world and save your soul, forever turning you against your master, Satan, and into a burning torch for the Lord!
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, I pray for His Mercy on you, the sinner.
Amen

Hillary Clinton blasts Trump: Abortion is a human right
Hillary Clintoon should be in Jail and sent to the gallows for giving away top grade Uranium to our enemy the Ruskies. She sold them 1/4 of our Uranium assets.
Partner, there were Americans who were executed in the 1940's for giving away our Nuclear secrets to the Ruskies!

Not much of a right if you’re the one being aborted.

Stunning quote. Frightening.
I usually attribute sinful actions at least partially to ignorance; but in her case, she knows exactly what she is doing. And whom --- what kind of 'god' --- she is serving.

Hillary is sooo done. Revulsion of her, at last, is becoming increasingly common across the board. At this point, Hillary speaks and no one cares, ( or her poll numbers tank).

no... I will not agree with that sentiment.
Sometimes, certain ones NEED to go to Gilgal.
Sometimes all they need a trip on the road to Damascus.
She needs to go to Gilgal.
1 Samuel 15:33 KJV translation is the best. with the literally translated emphasis on the hacking aspect.
You will NOT suffer a witch to live.
Period.
sometimes Christians need to remember the JUDEO part of Judeo-Christian values... which is the FIRST part... not the last.

Sure, if abortion is a human right, cant a man kill his baby when he wants? Let Scott Peterson off death row. Sure, keep him in prison for killing his wife Laci. But when he murdered his 8 month along unborn son Conor, that was just a late term abortion. A human right. No need for special circumstances. Why shouldnt men be able to abort their babies against the will of the mother? If the mother can do it against the will of the father? We are talking human rights here.
The right of a human to kill inconvenient people. If there is one person on this planet who understands this basic human right, its Hillary Clinton.

ABORTION is not about RIGHTS. It’s about avoiding any RESPONSIBILITY.
