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."

Poor Hillary. She’s less and less relevant every day. Does she really think anyone cares what she has to say on this or any issue? Even the Left is starting to ignore her and move on.

If ONLY HER MOTHER, EVA, HAD BELIEVED THAT!
A just discovered little known fact may help to explain Hillary Clinton’s aggressive and domineering personality: She is, in fact, Adolph Hitler’s long lost daughter.

7 months before her April 30th, 1945 suicide with Adolph in the Berlin bunker, Eva Braun gave birth to little “Hildegard” Shickelgruber and arranged to have the baby smuggled across Allied lines to France. In France, the child was delivered to a kind-hearted ship’s captain. Upon landing in New Orleans, the captain personally carried the infant to the home of Eva’s second cousin, Dorte Dittlemann, in Stuttgart, Arkansas.

Psychologists theorize that Hillary’s intense dislike of — indeed, hatred for – military personnel spring from the failure of the German military of her daddy’s Third Reich – in particular Obergruppenführer Steiner – during those final days in Berlin.

That hatred manifested itself in such bizarre ways as:
demeaning Marines in their dress blues by requiring them to serve as waiters during numerous White House dinners;
yelling at uniform personnel in the White House if, for example, they failed to open doors for her as quickly as she thought necessary;
making loud, sarcastic remarks to uniformed – and non-uniformed – Secret Service personnel assigned to her security detail in the White House and in other public settings;
admonishing her daughter to NOT be civil to these same security and other personnel. Her daughter, who apparently did not inherit her mother’s highly unpleasant persona, refused to comply and was generally decent to those her mother despises.

Thank God she will never be President.

Life is a human right.

Killing a baby because you only wanted one and not twins, or it’s a girl and not a boy, or it MAY be predisposed (but not conclusive or accurate) to having a disease, etc are insufficient reason to kill a baby and are in fact discriminatory based on factors of gender, skin color, disability, and eugenics.
