Clinton to Obama: You're not as Pro-Abortion as Me

MANCHESTER, New Hampshire, January 7, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Following her crushing defeat in Iowa, Hillary Clinton has decided to attack Barack Obama on different ground: she is claiming that he is not as committed to abortion as she is, hoping to cast doubt that Obama is pro-abortion enough to make an acceptable Democratic president.

In a recent mailing to voters in New Hampshire, Hillary criticizes Obama for voting "present" instead of in favor of pro-abortion legislature on seven occasions. The mailer claims Clinton is a person who will "stand up for women's right to choose."

Obama has received a rating of 100% from Planned Parenthood, based on his voting record as an Illinois senator.

Clinton spokesman Phil Singer said the campaign decided to send the piece because "as Senator Obama has said, 'Voting records matter.'"

"The Clinton campaign's false negative attacks were rejected by Iowa voters, and we expect that they'll suffer the same fate here in New Hampshire," said Bill Burton, spokesman for Obama.

Obama responded to Hillary's mailer with an automated call, a procedure that the Clinton campaign has cried foul over, claiming automated calls are illegal in presidential primaries.

"Hi this is Wendy Frosh, chair of the board of Planned Parenthood in Northern New England," says the call. "As people have begun to rally around Barack Obama's call for change, the false attacks have begun. He was a leader and activist in reproductive rights for more than 20 years, I know the facts. Barack has a 100% pro-choice record and has always been a champion for women's rights. Hillary Clinton's last minute smears won't protect the right to choose. But as president, Barack Obama will. Please join me in supporting Barack Obama this Tuesday. Thank you. Paid for by Obama for America."

Now even the abortionists have turned on Hitlery.

It's disgusting, isn't it?

[laweeks]

Now there’s something to be proud of, being stronger at having more innocent children slaughtered (3,300/day, 1.5 million/year). And at least half of the butchered babies are “female.” No women’s rights? Huh? What a pair of creeps!

[mainepatsfan]

They’re aborting her campaign.

[SERKIT]

Does Hillary really believe in abortion? Did she ever have one? Did Chelsea? How many abortions did the Clintons pay for as a result of Bill's infidelities? Is this race really down to 'who is the best baby-killer'?

[originalbuckeye]

Unbelievable! Competing to see who is more morally bankrupt. I’d love to see a moderator ask the Dems to explain why they think abortion is ok (using the rhetoric of 'choice') but killing a murderer is not ok. I’d love to see any Dem try to wiggle out of the ‘innocent life’ vs ‘guilty life’ dichotomy.

1.5 million/year

Versus...



Sick.

Clinton to Obama: You're not as Pro-Abortion as Me>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Agreed Hillery, because YOU are an abortion.

A political abortion of one BJ Clinton.

[TigersEye]

Obama voted for a bill in Illinois to allow setting babies aside to die of neglect/exposure/wounds/whatever that survive an abortion.

Top that Hillary! Are you a real Democratic or not?

[Candor7]

Hitlery has little about Obama she can attack. She is a freshman Senator like Obama. Neither have originated legislation in the Senate.

Obama is a self made man, and didn't parachute into unconstitutionally shared power in the White House. Hillery has been given everything she has, and now that she has to earn it, she has no idea on what to do. Obama has not.

Hillery: Earn your stripes girl, or go down in flames.

It’s just amazing to me that Mrs. Clinton is trying to run to the LEFT of Mr. Obama on the issue of abortion.

[sitetest]

Dear Candor7,

“She is a freshman Senator like Obama.”

Uh, no.

Mrs. Clinton was first elected in 2000, and re-elected in 2006. She’s not a freshman Senator. She has just completed her seventh year in the Senate, to Mr. Obama’s one year.

At the time of the November election, she will have completed nearly eight years in the Senate to Mr. Obama’s nearly two years.

Sorry, the search missed it, but they aren’t actually the same story.

[boomop1]

The great baby killer debate.

[boomop1]

The lost souls club is growing it is sad.

[Clintonfatigued]

That’s a pretty sad distinction to be making.

Y’OK Hillary

Choice for women goes like this

Those women who are in the wombs of the females who just happen to be carrying them, get the choice whether or not they live or die, not you ...I believe they would all choose life if you asked them....

You want to keep murdering women ????

You want to keep on denying women a choice in their own destinies????

You want to continue to control womens’ bodies??? wombs???

After all the bodies belong to the women in the womb not the owner of the womb...the bodies are seperate from the carriers...

The only women entitled to any “choice” are the women inside the wombs...

Have you asked them what their choice is????????

And you set yourself up as a champion of women...and children

What about the little women who are in the wombs of America...

Are you their champion for change???

Will you protect them???????????

What about their “women’s rights”????????

[Tennessee Nana]

How many abortions did the Clintons pay for as a result of Bill’s infidelities?

Gennifer Flowers while he was Gov of AR

[Candor7]

You are correct.

What I should have said is that neither have originated a single piece of cogent legislation outside of pandering resolutions.
