Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) said Thursday during a sit-down with abortion rights advocates at the Georgia Statehouse that laws prohibiting or limiting abortion rights are "against Christian faith."
"If you are a person of the Christian faith, one of the tenets of our faith is free will," Gillibrand said at a press conference, according to CBS News.
"One of the tenets of our democracy is that we have a separation of church and state, and under no circumstances are we supposed to be imposing our faith on other people," the Democratic presidential candidate added. "And I think this is an example of that effort."
Gillibrand's remarks came at a roundtable discussion with abortion providers and physicians, Georgia legislators and women's rights activists following the passage of new "heartbeat" abortion legislation in the state. The bill, signed into law by Gov. Brian Kemp (R), bars doctors from performing an abortion once a fetus’s heartbeat is detected, typically around six weeks into a pregnancy before most women know they are pregnant.
The sit-down also came one day after Alabama's governor signed a bill to ban almost all abortions. The ban, which is the nation's most restrictive, would prohibit abortion in nearly all cases, including rape or incest.
Gillibrand added that she wants to “make sure that every woman in America, no matter what state she lives in or how much money she has in her pocket, can have guaranteed access to safe, legal abortion,” according to The Washington Post.
She also said she wants to end the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits using federal money to cover abortion costs.
The 2020 presidential hopeful called upon other candidates to make their stances clear on abortion and said that if President Trump wants to "fight" on the issue that he will lose.

What cult does she belong to?
Since when is murder part of our Christian Faith?
The worst thing about it is that many liberals, including many so-called Catholics, agree with her. Never mind that they wouldn’t dream of ever using “free will” as the basis for giving anyone a legal pass on plenty of other stuff (gun ownership, tobacco use, labor laws). Their religion isn’t Christianity but rather some warped therapeutic deism, i.e., “There is a God, but he doesn’t impose any rules on me. He just wants me to do what I want to do and never be burdened with anything, and if an abortion helps me do that, God is fine with it.” That’s the way they think.
------------------
The devout proponent of infant murder is claiming to be a Christian? I doubt it. Just one more trick by the 1%'er from New Yooook to try to get attention.
Exactly. The Fifth Commandment (for Catholics) is Thou shalt not kill.
Free will is not excuse for murder.
Otherwise we all can just start murdering people because they are inconvenient to us.
Seriously. Thats where her incredibly stupid argumnt goes.
Safe abortion .....but the baby dies every time??
Well, NXIVM is in New York and was donating to Hillary. I would not be surprised if all the NY politicians were involved in their racket.
Kirsten Gillibrand, and Christianity, cannot be used in the same sentence. The two, are polar opposites. She is a mindless wench.
God abhors baby killing and those who abet. Gillibrand’s faith is molech worship
She’s gone man, solid gone!
Safe for women and deadly for the babe. Women are hosts to another individual. If you have guests stay in your house, do you murder them at will. No. You provide them comfort and look after them till it is time for them to leave. And so it should be with little lives in the guest room of a woman.
I was reading a post here on FR yesterday that stated that she had family members involved with NXVIM.
I’m not sure where MURDERING CHILDREN is in the Bible, but could she show me? I guess her BIBLE was written by Satan...not God...
What? The stupid in these progressives is breath taking.
Gillebrand is a Christian heretic.
Gillebrand like all on the Left are atheists - they despise Christians and Jews.
BUT.
Lefty will gladly manipulate you with religion.
Bottom line: Never take religious advice from an atheist.
Yep and that free will allows a state to make their own decisions. If you don’t like it you have the free will to move to Virginia or New York
what was her reaction to NY signing into law a bill that allows abortion right up to the moment of birth?
