Hillary Clinton Defends Killing Babies in Partial-Birth Abortions: “Government Shouldn’t Step In”
Life News ^ | Oct 19, 2016 | Steven Ertelt

Posted on 10/20/2016 3:11:20 PM PDT by detective

Tonight, during the presidential debate, pro-abortion presidential candidate Hillary Clinton defended partial birth abortions on babies late in pregnancy. She said that she didn’t think the government should be stepping in to protect unborn children that late in pregnancy.

Despite factual information showing that partial birth abortions happen in most cases on healthy babies and healthy mothers, Clinton claimed that killing unborn children in partial birth abortions was necessary because of supposed special cases where abortion was necessary to save the life or health of the mother — even though considerable research has documented the fact that abortions often hurt and kill women.

if you vote for Clinton, you are not a Christian. Jesus says “by their fruit you will know them.” Supporting evil Hillary shows you are also a follower of the Father of Lies.

This is very reasonable as the mother’s “choice”. Because whether she aborted earlier OR at “partial birth”, she is still a mother - but a mother with a dead baby. Let it really be at her own hand.

Partial birth abortion means that they take a fully formed baby, turn it around in the mother’s womb so that it comes out feet first, allow the child to be born up to it neck, hold it there to keep it from fully coming out of it’s mother’s birth canal, and then stick a scissors into it’s neck and twist it until the poor, defenseless child’s spinal cord is snapped.

Thank you for posting that. I had no idea there was such an organization of Libertarians, and I wish more people knew this. Since many of us would lean more that way if we knew.

Our government shouldn’t step in?

Aren’t we paying for partial birth abortions?

Thanks for that. Sorry about the double post. I don’t know why that happened.

Actually, most so-called libertarians are pro abortion, but I believe that they are in error.

From March 2016...

“The Senate Judiciary Committee is set to hold a hearings Tuesday titled, “Late Term Abortion: Protecting Babies Born Alive and Capable of Feeling Pain.”

During the 2016 presidential campaign, Clinton, a former secretary of state, has staunchly spoken in favor of abortion rights and defended Planned Parenthood. While serving in the Senate, Clinton even voted against the 2003 partial-birth abortion ban.

Still, during a presidential forum on Fox News on Monday, Clinton was asked about whether there should be limits on abortion at any stage.

“It’s not much of a right if it is totally limited and constrained,” Clinton first said.

But when moderator Bret Baier pressed her, “Just to be clear, there’s no — without any exceptions?” Clinton waivered.

“No — I have been on record in favor of a late-pregnancy regulation that would have exceptions for the life and health of the mother,” Clinton said.

March for Life President Jeanne Mancini said neither Obama nor Clinton have a record of supporting any restrictions on late-term abortions — beyond rhetoric.

“To the contrary, they both said they support late-term restrictions but every time a commonsense restriction is proposed, they have opposed it,” Mancini told TheBlaze. “When Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin signed a late-term abortion ban, Hillary Clinton issued a tweet blasting it.” ...”

But is this kind of murder interstate commerce?

Drug warriors think a homegrown cannabis plant for personal medical use is interstate commerce. (Gonzalez v Raich)

Gun grabbers think a homegrown machine gun for personal use is interstate commerce. (US v Stewart)

If you like their reasoning, I guess it probably seems like a partial birth abortion is also interstate commerce. For those of us who don’t, using that rationale to pass the ban was troubling to say the least.

I am one of those women who had an abortion many years ago. I am a christian, there are days i find forgiveness for this impossible. Yet i know Jesus has forgiven me.Nothing makes me more angry than this topic.The pain the nightmares the regret, the thoughts i murdered a helpless human being.Many years have passed since this happened. This is the MAIN REASON I AM VOTING FOR TRUMP. As i listened to clinton the other night about the 4 yr old finding a loaded gun scenario versus its ok to kill a defenseless baby had me yelling at my tv. What a hypocrite i am to have done this evil deed to now being so against it.I know there are thousands upon thousands of women like me who had an abortion only for it to haunt me for life.

Stay focused. The fetus is a person. It is murder.

Murder is a state issue, generally.

What’s worse are so-called “Christians” who are openly supporting Hillary. I call them out on it all the time. I’m done keeping my mouth shut. Sorry, you can’t call yourself a Christian and support abortion!

I’m not sure what your post has to do with my post about the commerce power of the federal government but I’m sorry to hear about your mental anguish.

A hypocrite is someone who says one thing and does another. I suspect none of us fully live by our own principles so it describes us all to some degree. But what you are is a person who has changed her mind and has regrets. I’m a guy and don’t share your particular situation but I’ve changed my mind and have regrets.

Whatever government enforces justice for murder, I don’t care, but it’s the business of the government

But she wants the latest gun control measures because of the dozens of cases of toddlers shooting themselves or others. The law should step in and tell parents how they must safeguard their firearms, rather than simply that they must safeguard them. And the more expensive the safeguard, the better. Then she turns around and accuses Trump of sensationalizing the partial-birth abortion issue.
