Hillary Clinton was expected to make womens issues a central focus of her campaign for president; after all, it would look a little strange if she didnt.
Unfortunately for the rest of us, though, it means that the tired war on women trope will be trotted out for yet another election cycle. Republicans are the villains in this political play, always scheming to find new and exciting ways to keep women barefoot and pregnant.
If Clinton is fighting back against this war on women, she unleashed the heavy firepower on Thursday. Speaking at a campaign stop in Cleveland, she said, Extreme views about women? We expect that from some of the terrorist groups. We expect that from people who dont want to live in the modern world, but its a little hard to take coming from Republicans who want to be the president of the United States. Yet they espouse out-of-date and out-of-touch policies.
Clinton was specifically talking about Republican candidates who have advocated stripping Planned Parenthood of its federal funding in the wake of an undercover investigation.
Videos produced by a pro-life organization have shown Planned Parenthood officials talking casually about crushing fetal heads, scooping out brain tissue, and profiting from the sale of organs. The counterpunch to this, for Democrats, is to pretend that Planned Parenthood is an indispensable resource for womens healthcare.
I would like these Republican candidates to look the mom in the eye who caught her breast cancer early because she was able to get a screening for cancer, or the teenager who didnt get pregnant because she had access to contraception, or anyone whos ever been protected by an HIV test.
Look them in the eyes and say what? That they oppose federal funds being used to support a national abortion industry? Why would that be difficult? Earth to Democrats: Planned Parenthood is not the only health clinic in the nation. Republicans struck back immediately.
Jeb Bush said on Twitter, Hillary Clinton compares pro-life Americans to terrorists, but defends despicable PP treatment of unborn? Her priorities are totally wrong. His sentiments were echoed by Tennessee Rep. Diane Black, who said, Democrats are engaging in gutter politics of the worst kind. Yes, but what else is new? If you cant engage the issues, resort to name-calling. Alls fair in love and war, right?
And there is a war, to be sure. Its not a war on women, though; its a war for the soul of the United States. And every day that we keep funneling tax dollars into this evil empire called Planned Parenthood, we are losing that war.
Maybe if we diverted that money into health clinics that have a basic respect for human life, we could revive the America that once believed in higher ideals. We could see, for the first time in a long time, that there really is a difference between right and wrong. And then maybe we would be able to see, with clear eyes, who the terrorists really are.
LIFE IS A BITCH. WHY ELECT ONE?
Democrat Platform:
1. promoting homosexuality/same sex marriage/immorality......
2. Pro abortion/murdering babies for "fun, & profit".........{taxpayer funded}
3. apologizing to our enemies, & paying them off.....{Cowardice, in politics
4. corruption, "is OK", as long as you don't get caught.......{ destroying evidence "OK"}
5. Rules, are for Republicans, NOT, Liberals.........
6. Say & do anything to achieve your goals.... {regardless of morality, or lack of same}
7. Villify, anyone that doesn't agree with the Liberal mantra!
It's your friends at Planned Parenthood who engage in practices similar to terrorists; beheading and disemboweling innocent human beings.
Clinton: Pro-Life Republicans are Practically Terrorists
But Jihadists aren’t!
Count me in as proudly Pro-Life
Terrorists transfer MANPADS to al QAeda
and ISIS at Benghazi, cover it up,
and murder 4 Patriots to boot.
The terrorists are protected by the EXEMPT, lying
scheming GOP and McCain and Boehner in particular.
I can't take it anymore. If one more person sends me that e-mail about Hillary and the Black Panthers, I'll have to be dragged away screaming in a straitjacket.
You know the e-mail I'm talking about. It accuses Hillary of helping the Black Panthers get away with torture and murder during the early 1970s. With the 2004 presidential race drawing near, the spam mills are creaking to life, flooding the Internet once more with this agitprop classic.
Unfortunately, the e-mail mingles good information with bad, sowing more confusion than enlightenment. Some versions, for instance, carry the byline of radio talk jock Paul Harvey, who says he did not write it. Such misrepresentations help Hillary defenders dismiss the e-mail as a hoax.
The story is no hoax, though. Its basic elements can be found in respected Hillary biographies and exposes such as Barbara Olson's "Hell to Pay," David Brock's "The Seduction of Hillary Rodham," Joyce Milton's "The First Partner" and Carl Limbacher's "Hillary's Scheme."
Here are the facts:
In May 1969, fishermen discovered the body of Black Panther Alex Rackley floating in Connecticut's Coginchaug River. Rackley's captors had clubbed him, burned him with cigarettes, scalded him with boiling water and stabbed him with an ice pick before finally shooting him in the head.
New Haven detectives learned that the Panthers suspected Rackley of being a police informer. Panther enforcers had tied him to a chair and tortured him for hours. Police arrested eight Panthers and later extradited Panther leader Bobby Seale from California, after a witness accused Seale of ordering Rackley's death. (1)
Campus radicals supported the Panthers. They organized mass protests in support of the so-called "New Haven Nine." Hillary was right in the thick of it.
By the time she entered Yale Law School in 1969, Hillary was already a radical celebrity on campus. Life magazine had featured Hillary in a piece titled, "The Class of '69," which showcased three student activists whom Life's editors deemed the best and brightest of the year. A line Hillary used in her Wellesley College commencement speech appeared under her photo: "Protest is an attempt to forge an identity." (2)
At Yale, Hillary helped edit the Yale Review of Law and Social Action a left-wing journal which promoted cop-killing and featured cartoons of pig-faced police. (3)
A series of hard-Left mentors introduced Hillary to the brass-knuckle realities of revolutionary activism. As a Wellesley undergraduate, she met and interviewed radical organizer Saul Alinsky, whose Machiavellian tactics she admired. Hillary's senior thesis supported Alinsky's call for class warfare. (4)
At Yale, Hillary found a new Svengali in the form of left-wing law professor Thomas Emerson, known around campus as "Tommy the Commie." Emerson recruited Hillary and other students to help monitor the trial of the New Haven Nine for civil rights violations. Hillary took charge of the operation, scheduling the students in shifts, so that student monitors would always be present in the courtroom. She befriended and worked closely with Panther lawyer Charles Garry. (5)
Some believe that the enormous pressure exerted by the Left helped ensure light sentences for the New Haven Nine. Whether or not this is true, the punishments were mild.
"Only one of the killers was still in prison in 1977," reports John McCaslin in the Washington Times. "The gunman, Warren Kimbro, got a Harvard scholarship and became an assistant dean at Eastern Connecticut State College. Ericka Huggins, who boiled the water for Mr. Rackley's torture, got elected to a California school board." (6)
Hillary's defenders argue that she played no "significant" role in the New Haven Nine's defense. This is semantic hairsplitting. Obviously, Hillary was less "significant" than Charles Garry or "Tommy the Commie" Emerson. But Hillary served as a trusted lieutenant to these movers and shakers. Moreover, she had a national profile as a campus activist. Hillary was no rank-and-file student protester, as her apologists claim.
Indeed, Hillary's work for the Panthers won her a summer internship at the Berkeley office of attorney Robert Treuhaft in 1972. A hardline Stalinist, Treuhaft had quit the Communist Party in 1958 only because it was losing members and no longer provided a good platform for his activism. (7) "Treuhaft is a man who dedicated his entire legal career to advancing the agenda of the Soviet Communist Party and the KGB," notes historian Stephen Schwartz. (8)
The defense of the New Haven Nine marked Hillary's initiation into the sinister underworld of the hard-core, revolutionary Left. To my knowledge, Hillary has never publicly renounced nor apologized for her role in that movement.

I wonder how Kermit Gosnell figures into a pronouncement like hers, as well as the virtual silence from the media concerning his trial (even though the scale of his crimes were on par or even worse than those of John Wayne Gacy or Charles Manson or even Adam Lanza in comparison)?
Indeed, during Illinois state senate deliberations on BAIPA, Obama stated that one of his objections was that the bill was designed to burden the original decision of the woman and the physician to induce labor and perform an abortion. Apparently, once the decision to abort has been made, a child is doomed even if born alive."

Meanwhile the average woman faces higher healthcare premiums and higher deductibles for healthcare coverage for her and her family no thanks to BarryCare DemRats. Talk about the ‘war on women’? Let’s have that discussion.
Terrorists murder and enslave innocent people for profit and political points.
Sounds more like Planned Parenthood than anyone else in the American political landscape.
See you next Tuesday Hitlary.
Hillary Clinton embraces the death of the soul, and she is evil, vicious and harmful. Turn your backs on this whacko Moonbat and embrace life and all that’s good.
Well stated.
Would someone please explain. Aside from equal pay, I have no clue what these issues might be.
