Coming as a complete and utter shock to absolutely no one, Hillary Clinton gave every indication that she plans to play the gender card in her campaign for the presidency. And based on her keynote at the Women in the World Summit last week, it looks like we’re in for more of the tired “War on Women” rhetoric. From the speech:
“Far too many women are denied access to reproductive health care and safe childbirth, and laws don’t count for much if they’re not enforced.”
Which laws does she think need enforcing? I’m guessing not the ones repeatedly violated by her friends at Planned Barrenhood. We’ve heard this all before, of course, and know by now that “reproductive health care” is really euphemism for contraception and abortion on demand. Neither of which is “reproductive” or “health care”. And if Clinton is advocating for safer childbirth (a worthy end, to be sure) then she would do well to advocate against abortion. She goes on:
“Rights have to exist in practice — not just on paper.”
Except, of course, the right of the unborn to not be dismembered in their mother’s womb. Apparently, that one doesn’t count (although it actually does exist on paper, unlike the non-existent “right” to abortion). One wonders on what grounds she might suggest anyone has any rights at all? How can one lay claim to any other right if the most fundamental right—the right to life—is not recognized in practice?
“Laws have to be backed up with resources and political will, and deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed.” [emphasis added]
See, your opposition to abortion is really just a religious belief, she says. In fact, it’s a bias, she says. Now, I’ll readily admit that my deep-seated opposition to the killing of my fellow human beings constitutes a particular “bias”—a bias in favor of life and respect for mothers. But is it only a “religious” thing? My younger/agnostic/irreligious/pro-life self didn’t think so. Neither does Secular Pro-Life. Neither does the Catholic Church (see Evangelium Vitae n. 62). According to the Catechism, this “structural bias” in favor of life is one that can’t be changed:
“Since the first century the Church has affirmed the moral evil of every procured abortion. This teaching has not changed and remains unchangeable.” (2271)
Hillary Clinton may see morality and the notion of “rights” as little more than social conditioning tools, but neither changes to suit election rhetoric. It’s still early, but in her first speech since announcing her candidacy, Clinton may have already had her “cling to guns and religion” moment. On second thought, there’s still well over five-hundred days remaining before the election…plenty of time to offend those religious folk again.
... or she will change them for you.
Hillary doesn’t give a rip what you believe. She’s telling you what they intend to do.
C C C = Clinton Corruption Continues.
Years ago I heard a Hitlery supporter say that there should be mass castrations of conservative males.
“Die Gedanken sind frei, wer kann sie erraten,
sie fliegen vorbei wie nächtliche Schatten.
Kein Mensch kann sie wissen, kein Jäger erschießen
mit Pulver und Blei: Die Gedanken sind frei!
“Ich denke was ich will und was mich beglücket,
doch alles in der Still’, und wie es sich schicket.
Mein Wunsch und Begehren kann niemand verwehren,
es bleibet dabei: Die Gedanken sind frei!
“Und sperrt man mich ein im finsteren Kerker,
das alles sind rein vergebliche Werke.
Denn meine Gedanken zerreißen die Schranken
und Mauern entzwei: Die Gedanken sind frei!
“Drum will ich auf immer den Sorgen entsagen
und will mich auch nimmer mit Grillen mehr plagen.
Man kann ja im Herzen stets lachen und scherzen
und denken dabei: Die Gedanken sind frei!”
(Thoughts are free, who can guess them?
They fly by like nocturnal shadows.
No man can know them, no hunter can shoot them
with powder and lead: Thoughts are free!
I think what I want, and what delights me,
still always reticent, and as it is suitable.
My wish and desire, no one can deny me
and so it will always be: Thoughts are free!
And if I am thrown into the darkest dungeon,
all these are futile works,
because my thoughts tear all gates
and walls apart: Thoughts are free!
So I will renounce my sorrows forever,
and never again will torture myself with whimsies.
In one’s heart, one can always laugh and joke
and think at the same time: Thoughts are free!)
We all know what the Hillabeast can do with her “thoughts”, simplistic as they must be.
If not for the Second Amendment, I have not a single doubt they would be doing this.

You’re not kidding. They’d be loading us on the cattle cars in a New York minute.
True. She only cares about money and being the boss. She breaks laws all the time as they are for others. She was in on giving the Russians ownership of a uranium mine in WY. Amazing-the Russians own a Uranium mine in the USA. These SOB’s will sell us down the river for money and power and whatever else they want.
internment camps and round ups?
Oldies but goodies from her majesty Hillary Clinton (PBUH).
Hillary thinks a lot of things.
When Bill Clinton was in the WH many used to think that his Hag was the brains of their duo. Of late, she has since certainly dispelled any truth to that rumor. Evil? Slick is obviously bad company but I’d say his hag has him beat on that scale.
Hillary knows something about changing beliefs.
You’ve summed the Clintons up nicely. As one who lived in Arkansas for many years, who witnessed their corruption up close, I’d say they are unparalleled when it comes to an Evil Lust for Power.
She thinks she’s God!
