Clinton: Trump's retreat from abortion comments unconvincing
The Hill ^ | March 31st | JESSE BYRNES

Posted on 04/01/2016 9:50:07 AM PDT by Fasceto

Hillary Clinton is signaling that she won't be letting up anytime soon on Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump's comments this week on abortion, calling his walk back "unconvincing."

"It was outrageous that he would be advocating for women who exercise their constitutional right and have autonomy over their healthcare decisions would be criminals along with the doctors that served them," Clinton told Business Insider on Thursday.

Such a lie. The premise was that it was illegal, NOT a “constitutional right.” But of course the liars gonna lie.

Maybe Trump should ask her why she supports the painful dismemberment of late term babies? Put in graphic stark terms.

So, if robbing a bank is outlawed and a woman robs a bank, should she be punished? What stupidity the media creates. When will we ever learn?

Trump better get on this. Quick. And fix it. Yesterday.

Rush was correct yesterday. The comments were damaging and gave an opening to the fascists in the Democrat party—Hitlery is salivating.

Shut it down, DT.

Here we go again. Our side always apologizing for nothing. If people are melting down over an answer to a hypothetical question about abortion then the country is too far gone for help. Tired of all this bullcrap when our country is such an economic mess and we’re an effing joke on the world scene.

Are people stupid enough to think that Trump’s comments will actually win Hitlerbeast votes or lose him support? Pro-aborts (including the cowardly “moderates” who pretend to be anti-abortion, except for [insert bad reason here]) already are voting Dementocrat, and pro-lifers are not going to abandon Trump over this issue.

Trump's problem is that he doesn't have a firmly-held position on this, so he folded up like wet cardboard when challenged and can't undo that.

Right you are, and the vast majority of people are not paying attention to the side show. It’s another perfect storm for the ultra religious to make a showing and the extreme feminists to jump and shout. Pathetic

“Maybe Trump should ask her why she supports the painful dismemberment of late term babies? Put in graphic stark terms.”

Her constituents don’t know the meaning of dismembering. They think it is called the Bobbitt Effect.

Queens have the power of life or death over people.

With abortion, our government has given females the power of life or death over people.

Our government spends tons of money and takes years to decide if a convicted murderer should die.

A woman walks into an abortion facility, and a life is taken.

We have a nation with millions of queens.

Thank you for referencing that article Fasceto. Please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

As mentioned in related threads, low-information former Senator Clinton is an excellent example why the ill-conceived 17th Amendment should never have been ratified, her misguided stance on unconstitutional federal abortion policy an excellent example.

What state sovereignty-ignoring Clinton is ignoring this time is that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for abortion issues. Everything that the feds are doing with abortion is based on 10th Amendment-protected state powers and state revenues that the corrupt Washington cartel has been stealing from the states for generations.

All that corrupt politicians like Clinton care about concerning abortion is winning votes from low information citizens imo.

Speaking of votes, I now suspect that the 19th Amendment, the amendment that gave women the right to vote, opened the door to the PC right to have an abortion, that “right” wrongly established outside the framework of the Constitution by state sovereignty-activist justices with the help of misguided women voters.

After all, military, trade and treaty issues aside, the main thing that the 19th Amendment actually bought women voters with respect to federal government’s constitutionally limited powers is the power to help decide the quality of the US Mail Sevice (1.8.7) where domestic issues are concerned.

So the 17th and 19th Amendments, along with today’s constitutionally undefined presidential nomination process, a process controlled by the corrupt Washington cartel, have all helped to harness the easily misguided voting power of low-information male and female voters to destroy state sovereignty, the Founding States originally giving male voters the power to elect only the members of the House of Representatives.

The Founders wouldn’t recognize the place. :^(

And constitutionally low-information Trump is now taking arrows from clueless Hillary over an issue that the feds actually have no constitutional authority to address.

What a mess !

The problem is that the pro-life movement has been co-opted by spokeswomen who think that a woman who slaughters her pre-born infant is a victim.

The best thing Trump or any man can say is let the women sort it out. We pro-life folks have some house cleaning to do.
