Denver, CO (LifeNews.com) -- Hours before she was slated to deliver the keynote address at the Democratic Party convention, Hillary Clinton took a shot at presidential candidate John McCain. She offered the preview of her speech at an event hosted by pro-abortion group Emilys List that saw Michelle Obama participate as well.
"We need in the White House starting on January 20th Barack Obama and Joe Biden," Clinton said, endorsing the pro-abortion ticket.
"Barack and Joe will champion the issues that we care about," she continued. "They will be there with us when we need to get that support from a president and a vice president.
Clinton said McCain is anti-woman and that he would hold them back by opposing abortion and in other ways.
"He doesn't believe that women deserve the right to choose," she said. "He would turn the clock back when what we need from our president is forward movement, more progress, the kind of opportunities that we expect for the next generation of Americans."
Jonathan Last, a columnist for the Weekly Standard pointed out an awkward moment at the pro-abortion event.
Clinton said that,If the president is not exactly on our side, call the first lady--and with Michelle Obama we're going to have somebody who answers that phone.
It was a strange formulation, complimenting Michelle Obama while suggesting that President Obama might not always be on the right side of EMILY's List women--and then adding an allusion to the famous 3:00 A.M. ad, he explained. As endorsements go, they don't come more carefully calibrated.
Obama didnt talk as much about abortion -- or her opposition to a ban on partial-birth abortions -- as much as she touted her husbands candidacy.
"Isn't this an extraordinary time for our nation," Obama asked. "Folks are talking about change and they're hungry for it. In two days we're going to make history when we nominate this guy I happen to be married to president of the United States."
While Clinton and Obama were speaking, about a dozen pro-life advocates protested outside the Sheraton Hotel, where House Speaker Nancy Pelosi joined her at the luncheon.
One pro-life advocate held up a poster with a picture of a baby victimized by abortion and a comment saying, "Barack Obama change this."
The Emilys List event didnt go off without a hitch. It started 40 minutes late and one pro-abortion activist left before Pelosi and Obama got up to speak.
Translation:
They will fight to kill MORE babies.

Not really....
Women covered in tomato juice smile during the "Tomatina", a traditional festival where people throw tomatoes at each other, on August in Bunol, some 300km east of Madrid.
Everyone at that luncheon ought to be damn glad their moms didn’t murder them before they were born.
Obviously, the greatest thing a woman can do is kill her babies.
/end sarcasm
One thing that should be aborted is that damn cliche “TURN BACK THE CLOCK”.
Can you just stop using it - it so untrue and so tired.
OH MY GOD HE’LL TURN BACK THE HANDS OF THE CLOCK. It is just so worn out. It is the cliche’s cliche.
Half the ignorant kids pumped out of the publik skools also have no friggin’ idea what that means anyway - they’ve only had digital watches and clocks all their lives.
They will fight to kill MORE babies.
Exactly.
These days they don’t even have watches, they use the clock on their cell phones.
I wonder if Ms. Obama (aka RuPaul-thanks Andrew Wilkow) condones Margaret Sanger’s origianl intentions for Planned Parnetindahood.
Here's how McCain should respond:
"I believe in a woman's right to choose. Life."

Here's something for the feminazi abortionists to ponder:
Since 1973, at least 25 MILLION females have been slaughtered in abortuaries.
Is it true that Michelle Obama got into Princeton with an 1100 SAT?
>>I wonder if Ms. Obama (aka RuPaul-thanks Andrew Wilkow) condones Margaret Sangers origianl intentions for Planned Parnetindahood.<<
The kind of genocide that Sanger chose for the black race is an abomination.
Michelle is a useful idiot.

It;s a shame they didn't. If they knew they were bearing advocates of murder they may very well have -- unless they were democrats.
Pro-life bump!
The lefties that I’ve brought this up with weren’t entirely ignorant of the Sanger connection,
but claim that PP now has nothing in common with her ideology.
Just like the Obama/infanticide issue, they simply deny it, ignore it, and refuse to look at the evidence.
Truly lost, wicked souls.
