Hillary Clinton: ‘The Unborn Person Doesn’t Have Constitutional Rights’
CNS ^ | 04/03/16 | CNSNews.com Staff

Posted on 04/04/2016 5:20:16 AM PDT by Enlightened1

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on NBC’s “Meet the Press today that “the unborn person doesn’t have constitutional rights.”

Clinton made the statement in response to a question from “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd. Clinton also said that an unborn child’s constitutional rights are “not something that exists.”

Todd asked: “When, or if, does an unborn child have constitutional rights?”

“Well, under our laws, currently, that is not something that exists,” said Clinton. “The unborn person doesn’t have constitutional rights. Now that doesn`t mean that we don’t do everything we possibly can in the vast majority of instances to, you know, help a mother who is carrying a child and wants to make sure that child will be healthy, to have appropriate medical support.

“It doesn’t mean that you don’t do everything possible to try to fulfill your obligations, but it does not include sacrificing the woman’s right to make decisions,” Clinton continued. “And I think that’s an important distinction that under Roe v. Wade we’ve had enshrined under our Constitution.”

“The unborn person doesn’t have constitutional rights”


No constitutional rights, but she refers to the unborn as “persons.” The statement oozes with contradiction.

More and more, full-grown, hard-working, tax-paying adults don’t have Constitutional rights either.

A designation for a human status that needs to be added to the list where discrimination against them is a federal crime. (Race, color, religion, sexual orientation, unborn, etc.)

It’s way past time for the clintons to make their way back to Arkansas and the trailer park...or, jail, whichever comes first.

How do these people stay in the limelight and skate by on long list of crimes and corruptions?

Enough of the clintons already!

Good point.

Unborn children are property. Not human. So when a murderer kills the ‘glob of tissue’, it should only be handled in small claims court.

...“the unborn person doesn’t have constitutional rights.”

That's some Olympic level mental gymnastics she's performing there.

If unborn children are property, then they would be covered by the 13th amendment freeing the slaves. No person can be claimed as property.

What’s Trump’s position on this today?

It changes hourly.

She is simply a coarse and vile woman. Yet she reflects the fact that America has descended into an era of post Christian, neo pagan epicurean decadence. Obama was not elected and reelected in a cultural or political vacuum. The inherently dishonest, corrupt, no accomplishment Hillary Clinton may actually be elected President. Throughout history when a culture is in a state of decline and decadence, the leaders themselves have been low quality and inherently flawed. No different today.

Yep.

Her second grandchild is in her own daughter’s womb and she makes a statement like that.

Shaking my dadgum head. Of course, Chelsea is bobbing her head enthusiastically.
