Hillary: Abortion Is A ‘Constitutional Right,’ Unsure About Second Amendment
The Daily Caller ^ | 06/10/2016 | Steve Guest

Hillary Clinton has no problem calling abortion a “constitutional right,” but when it comes to the Second Amendment, she has refused to take a position.

On Friday, Clinton thanked Planned Parenthood for providing abortions when she said that it was a “constitutional right” for women to get an abortion.

However, last Sunday, Clinton refused to say whether or not the right to bear arms was a constitutional right.

Instead, Clinton criticized late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.

“I think that for most of our history there was a nuanced reading of the Second Amendment until the decision by the late Justice Scalia, and there was no argument until then that localities and states and the federal government had a right, as we do with every amendment, to impose reasonable regulations,” Clinton said. “So I believe we can have common sense gun safety measures, consistent with the Second Amendment. And in fact, what I have proposed is supported by 90 percent of the American people and more than 75 percent of responsible gun owners.”

When pressed again by George Stephanopoulos, if “an individual’s right to bear arms is a constitutional right,” Clinton was even less committal.

“If it is a constitutional right, then it, like every other constitutional right, is subject to reasonable regulations,” Clinton said. “And what people have done with that decision is to take it as far as they possibly can and reject what has been our history from the very beginning of the republic, where some of the earliest laws that were passed were about firearms. So I think it’s important to recognize that reasonable people can say, as I do, responsible gun owners have a right, I have no objection to that, but the rest of the American public has a right to require certain kinds of regulatory responsible actions to protect everyone else.”

The selfish killing the innocent is good:

The innocent killing criminals who are threatening them is bad.

Perverts having a safe space is good:

Children and real women having a safe space is bad.

And things like that there...

Such is the heart of so-called “progressivism” these days.

Show me where in the U.S.Constitution it says that a-b-o-r-a-t-i-o-n, the removel of a live fetus is a Constitutional right!

Mrs Clingon has no use for our United States Constitution NONE! Hillary Clinton is a Progressive/Socialist who believes in the (does not represent the U.S.Constitution) Mrs. Clinton is also a ardent student of (Saul Alinsky)

Because America was founded by unarmed abortionists, built by Africans, and made a technological powerhouse by Muslims, we get the drift.

This is why Hillary must be prevented from ever being elected or appointed to another public office. She is not fit to be dog catcher. She is unfit for any public service. She has a warped sense of reality. If an honest assessment of her mental fitness were performed, she would likely be institutionalized. I would also add in her predisposition for graft, her absence of honesty and integrity, her lack of real human emotion or compassion and her complete unawareness of national security. Unfit to serve on all accounts.

Here's what her traitor trash consort Bubba thinks of the Constitution...

"When we got organized as a country and we wrote a fairly radical Constitution with a radical Bill of Rights, giving a radical amount of individual freedom to Americans, it was assumed that the Americans who had that freedom would use it responsibly.... [However, now] there's a lot of irresponsibility. And so a lot of people say there's too much freedom. When personal freedom's being abused, you have to move to limit it."

Funny that Bubba said that on the one year anniversary of burning the Branch Davidians to the ground.

If God forbid, Hillary is elected, the US will become a fascist state starting with a violent attempt to disarm the populous.

This stand on abortion vs 2 amendment is so absurd on the face of it that I think even mildly sentient libtards may see it. Certainly all those anti-Trump republicans and nearly every Independent non-committed voter should be able to.... Trump and his campaign should use this against her every 10 minutes or so. Don’t forget that Obama has created millions of new gun owners in the last 7+1/2 years.

I'll wait for the 2nd Amendment answer...

I'm still trying to find the Article in the Constitution which discusses Abortion.

Or Perversions, for that matter.
