Is Hillary Clinton becoming 'more extreme' on abortion?

Washington D.C., Apr 5, 2016 / 03:33 am (CNA).- Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton has long been known for supporting legal abortion. But her comments in this election year have some pro-life critics saying that she is becoming more radical.

“She is publically signaling to the abortion lobby that she backs abortion on demand and won’t support any restrictions,” said Mallory Quigley, communications director for the Susan B. Anthony List, a pro-life political advocacy group.

In an interview with NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday, Clinton was asked when, or if, an unborn child has constitutional rights.

“Well, under our laws currently, that is not something that exists,” she said. “The unborn person doesn't have constitutional rights.”

In the same interview, Clinton said she supports “reasonable restrictions” on abortion that account for “health of the mother.”

Quigley suggested that these comments are both incoherent and an attempt by Clinton to convince voters that she has a moderate stance on abortion.

“It’s a complete contradiction to say that the unborn are people, to recognize them by calling them persons, but to insist that they do not have constitutional rights,” Quigley told CNA. “If you acknowledge that the baby is a person, then of course they should have constitutional rights.”

In the interview, Clinton did not specify which restrictions she would support. Quigley said that because the definition of health in abortion legislation is so broad, it is questionable whether Clinton supports any restrictions at all.

Yep. She is all about exterminating black children. Don’t know how to get more radical than that.

She knows that the opinions in Roe and Doe aimed to conceal their radical nature, that after January, 1973, the legal limits on abortion were virtually nonexistent. That was, BTW, primarily to protect physicians. Not just abortionists but the many family doctors who performed abortions in their back offices and were fearful of being sued when things went wrong. IAC, our abortion law immediately became as radial as those of communist states like Cuba.

It's amusing to watch those on the left do whatever it takes to get elected. Al Gore was pro-life until he signed on as Clinton's Veep. Most people who have a change of heart on abortion turn against it later in life. It is rare to see someone who opposed abortion later decide they are in favor of it. Hillary would probably sacrifice a baby to Molech if she thought it would gain a few votes.

You beat me to it.

I actually heard someone say that a mother has a right to kill her children at any age. Totally disgusting but this is what they believe.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Father and Creator of those "unborn" human beings has not made that announcement.

Neither did the Framers of the Constitution, in all of their writings, debates, speeches and explanations make such an assertion.

Instead, in the words of Thomas Jefferson:

"The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time: the hand of force may DESTROY, but CANNOT DISJOIN them." - Thomas Jefferson
“Give us the grace... When the sacredness of life before birth is attacked, to stand up and proclaim that no one ever has the authority to destroy unborn life.” ~ Blessed John Paul II ~

"America needs no words from me to see how your decision in Roe v. Wade has deformed a great nation. The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men. It has sown violence and discord at the heart of the most intimate human relationships. It has aggravated the derogation of the father's role in an increasingly fatherless society. It has portrayed the greatest of gifts -- a child -- as a competitor, an intrusion, and an inconvenience. It has nominally accorded mothers unfettered dominion over the independent lives of their physically dependent sons and daughters

"And, in granting this unconscionable power, it has exposed many women to unjust and selfish demands from their husbands or other sexual partners. Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being's entitlement by virtue of his humanity. The right to life does not depend, and must not be declared to be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or a sovereign." - Mother Teresa

At the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington DC on February 3, 1994, Mother Teresa stated: “And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another?"

Indeed, if we cannot protect the life and liberty of these smallest versions of ourselves, then Mother Teresa's words take on significant meaning.

Clearly, Hillary Clinton's views on life and liberty clash with those of Mother Teresa!
