Senator Hillary Clinton Blasts Bush Administration over Abortion [Abstinance won't stop AIDS]

NEW YORK, January 12, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Abortion crusader and New York Senator Hillary Clinton condemned US President George W. Bush Tuesday, claiming his withdrawal of funding from organizations that commit or promote abortions is harming women.

Speaking at an International Women's Health Coalition-sponsored dinner, Clinton claimed that "reproductive health care and family planning service is a basic right," and said this was based on decisions reached at the 1994 U.N. Population Conference in Cairo, as well as the 1995 U.N. women's conference in Beijing, where Clinton gave a keynote address.

She argued that the Bush administration has failed to uphold the so-called reproductive rights of women, by withdrawing funding from abortion-supporting organizations such as the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA).

Clinton also maintained that the President’s focus on abstinence in sex education was hampering efforts to halt the spread of HIV/AIDS, despite the UN’s own admission that condom failure rate for preventing HIV transmission may be as high as 20 percent.

"ABC is a good strategy, but it has three parts to it and we need to remind the administration of that".

The highly successful Ugandan ABC program first emphasizes abstinence, being faithful within marriage, and lastly, condom use, as measures to prevent the HIV transmission rate. Experts say the Ugandan success is comparable to a "highly effective vaccine." The last, least emphasized and least effective part of the Ugandan program, which involves condoms, is presumably the component that Clinton was referring to.

The innocuous-sounding International Women's Health Coalition promotes abortion and contraception through funding programs in Africa, South and Central America. Their web site describes “. . . the world's most challenging health and rights issue” as “comprehensive sexuality education for adolescents and young adults.”

IWHC also actively opposes the Bush administration policies that oppose the funding of abortion. “We have worked with other organizations and governments to defeat U.S. efforts at meetings in Asia and at the UN to remove ‘reproductive health’ and other key phrases from negotiating texts,” their web site states.

I'm all for making Hillary a living example of abortion.

[Raycpa]

reproductive health care and family planning service is a basic right,"

Our self evident rights.

Life, Liberty and the pursuit of aborted babies.

[coconutt2000]

Now, if I was an evil dictator of a faraway and very rich nation... And if I wanted to impose on the reproductive rights of women...

I'd start with the ugly liberals, and sterilize them.



Now that's what I consider imposing on the reproductive rights of women. Refusing to fund abortions is not imposing on reproductive rights... merely ensuring the right to birth of a human baby.

[Land_of_Lincoln_John]

Ah, yes, the old favorite, abstinence won't stop AIDS.

By the way, are you aware, that sobriety won't stop drunk driving?

" Clinton also maintained that the President’s focus on abstinence in sex education was hampering efforts to halt the spread of HIV/AIDS,"

Another stroke of genius from the "smartest" woman in the world.

[AQGeiger]

Clean living works every time it's tried. Liberals just don't want to strive to reach a standard of behavior.

[SJackson]

Another stroke of genius from the "smartest" woman in the world.

She's reaching out to the IV drug user vote.

[ExTexasRedhead]

Heaven help us--four years of this witch trying to get herself nominated. Now that's scary!

[Just mythoughts]

The itch is at it again, guess Jesus only applies to those illegals she needs. Lower her negatives and raise her vote count.

[Joseph22]

I wonder what Bill thinks about the fact that Hillary only had one child and Web Hubbell was the father.

[Diva Betsy Ross]

Note to hillary. I don't care a twit what the UN says about anything.

I would like to hear from the Constitution... hmm.. what is that? NOTHING about the rights of women to kill their unborn children.

Nope not a word.

[knarf]

"Clinton claimed that "reproductive health care and family planning service is a basic right,"

She's right, you know.

Reproductive health care is nothing more than keeping it clean and don't stick anything into it.

Family planning service is the conversation and commitment you make with your husband about how many kids you'll have/can afford.

What's the problem?

[jimthewiz]

ABC is a good strategy

Anybody But Clinton

[not2worry]

Hillary's husband obviously doesn't understand the meaning of abstinence in a marriage.

And both she and her husband screwed the US taxpayers with their departure antics when they left (no pun intended) the White House!

[carlr]

" She's reaching out to the IV drug user vote"

Oh yeah,after free sex the other great enlightenment of the 60^s.
It might not be quite as annoying when the libs scream about how much money we are supposed to throw at these issues if they would at least admit that their gutter value system is what caused them.

[Zacs Mom]

Staying married to, protecting and promoting a lying, sexual predator/serial rapist is harmful to women!!

Abortion Crusader? Imagine being known as that!

[Tanniker Smith]

Hillary's just mad that Katie Couric "outed" her husband. (Who know?!)

TS

[EagleUSA]

The raving Marxist Medusa...get used to it, you have to listen to this moron, leftist tripe for four years. If she had her way, she would abort every baby that had the chance of growing up in a conservative family. Then put the parents in sterility camps --- only to be bred with liberals.

Seig Heil Hitlery!!!!

[Darkwolf377]

Abstinence won't stop AIDS? Tell that to the African countries that are turning to abstinence programs and are seeing AIDS cases drop dramatically.

This idiot wants to run our healthcare system? She's the perfect example of a bureaucrat--she "thinks big" without thinking.

[jocko12]

Pig go to the U.N. they have free abortions kits.

[airborne]

Hillary Clinton - Senator Death

[Endeavor]

And abortions stop AIDs how?

[Calpernia]

I can't add my comments here.

My words would have me banned.

#%^$^%$&%&%**^&*

Excellent graphic here!

[msnimje]

And abortion does prevent Aids?

[Txsleuth]

I also get tired of hearing dems asserting that their pet projects and a RIGHT and not just a privilege.

The main right is the right to health care, now its the right to abortion.

Someone needs to start a REALITY TV show called: "What the Constitution of the United States SAYS and what it DOESN'T Explain that there isn't a written amendment specifically calling for the "separation of church and state".

I think the politicians abuse the citizen's ignorance when it comes to the actual rights and laws of this country---

History and political science should be stressed more in junior and senior high school.

[Boazo]

Her picture could stop AIDS

[spinestein]

[Clinton claimed that "reproductive health care and family planning service is a basic right"]

Please, Hillary, try to bring us hayseed American voters the much needed legislation that will put you and your wise and compassionate government friends in charge of overseeing our "basic right" to health care.

It will amuse me to see you try again what you tried to do in 1993 resulting in the Democrats being on the receiving end of the greatest drubbing ever in congressional election history.

[Pittsburg Phil]

Sen. Hitlery is evil to her rotten core.

I'm sick and tired of taxpayer funded abortions. Hillary has no problem with that, but I do.

[Calpernia]

It does to the aborted victim.

[Calpernia]

>>>>Please, Hillary, try to bring us hayseed American voters the much needed legislation that will put you and your wise and compassionate government friends in charge of overseeing our "basic right" to health care

She has Kennedy squawking for her over here now.

Typical democrat hack.

[Cobra64]

Note to hillary. I don't care a twit what the UN says about anything.

Well, you may want to pay attention. Abortion is not the only topic on this planet.

If I were W, I would issue an Executive Order to have the UN building, on the East Side of New York City evacuated. Within 30 days, I would have the Army Corps of Engineers tasked with imploding that structure.

[Aussie Dasher]

No-one has the right to kill the innocent - not even Hillary!

[PistolPaknMama]

Abstinance won't stop AIDS

She must have gotten the mega super deluxe crack pipe with her book proceeds.

[MindBender26]

>reproductive health care and family planning service is a basic right.

I guess that means I have the right to get lucky every Saturday night, too.

You want to prevent pregnancy? Show any man a picture of Hillary naked and you will create male impotence that a pound and a half of Viagra wouldn't cure!

[sheik yerbouty]

She can't be that smart. She has never heard of the drug Trinoasitol!

[ClaireSolt]

No respect for the beliefs of Catholics in those areas of the world. I suspect that promoting abortion in Catholic countries does not help our image.

An evening with the International Women’s Health Coalition

[superskunk]

Abstinence really won't stop AIDS. It will just keep it from spreading. Guess Hillary never thought of that.

[Right_in_Virginia]

(Hillary!) Clinton claimed that "reproductive health care and family planning service is a basic right,"

Can anyone tell me where she finds this "right"????

[Tax Government]

Looking at Hillary leads to abstinence.

[Auntie Dem]

And abortions stop AIDs how?

The smartest woman in the world has figured out how--can't you?

If the baby is aborted, it can't get AIDS. Simple, no?

[superskunk]

Clinton claimed that "reproductive health care and family planning service is a basic right,"

Must be one of those rights they forgot to put in the constitution.

and said this was based on decisions reached at the 1994 U.N. Population Conference

OH! I guess that DOES make it a 'right'. I stand corrected. Apparently our constitution's irrelevant.

[Lucky2]

hildabeast's mother should of thought of those alternatives when she found she was expecting the beast!

[eleni121]

Hilliary is New York Senator Clinton...the horror of it!

[superskunk]

She needs to be aborted from the legislative body in the next election.
