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."

The rights of human babies are human rights.

Their first right, of course, is the Right to Life.

Protecting them is foundational.

She talks about human rights?

This woman paid thugs to shove a bayonet up the behind of the leader of Libya so she could steal his money.

She loves a abortion so much, why don’t she do us all a favor and abort herself.

Patriots are reminded that the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect having abortion as a right like they did with the rights that they expressly protected with the Bill of Rights and other rights that they have enumerated in the Constitution.

In other words, the so-called “right” to have an abortion is a politically correct right which was wrongly established by state sovereignty-ignoring activist Supreme Court justices. These justices not only stole legislative powers to politically amend this “right” to the Constitution from the bench, but they breached the Founding States' constitutionally enumerated division of federal and state powers, stealing state powers to do so.

And since public schools haven’t been teaching the fed’s constitutionally limited powers as the Founding States had intended for those powers to be understood as they should be, the Supremes got away with politically “amending” the so-called right to have an abortion to the Constitution.

Post-17th Amendment (17A) ratification career Democrats and RINOs now regularly use the threat of a Supreme Court reversal of the phony “right” to abortion to insure themselves the ongoing support of low-information women voters. They do so by reminding such women that the uniparty must maintain a pro-abortion activist justice majority on the Court in order to preserve the fictitious constitutional right to have an abortion, such women evidently not understanding that the feds have never had the express constitutional authority to address abortion.

What patriots need to do now is to take advantage of Pres. Trump’s leadership skills and make abortion illegal by finishing the job that they stared when they elected Trump president in 2016.

More specifically patriots now need to be making sure that there are plenty of state sovereignty-respecting, Trump-supporting patriot candidates on the primary ballots, candidates who would be willing to help put a stop to abortion by surrendering stolen state powers back to the states.

And until the states wake up and repeal 17A, as evidenced by concerns about the integrity of Alabama's special Senate election, patriot candidates need to win elections by a large enough margin to compensate for possible deep state ballot box fraud and associated MSM scare tactics.

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

While that may be true, there is no evidence that a fetus ever opted to be aborted...Would seem being born is a 'human right' which certainly outweighs any misguided idea that one human can murder another, whether out of the womb, or in...

Power, money & political expedience are the only things Hilly cares about. Chelsea was the latter .... the only reason she exists.

"Hillary and I prayed about it, and it's the right thing to do."

Next time, pray to God and you'll get a different answer.
