David Gibson suggested this might be Hillary Clinton’s “clinging to guns and religion” moment, and he may be right — assuming she survives the corruption scandals in the first place. Last night, Hillary told the Women in the World Summit that the path to Abortion Nirvana will only open up by changing religion, culture, and values to accommodate it:
“Far too many women are denied access to reproductive health care and safe childbirth, and laws don’t count for much if they’re not enforced. Rights have to exist in practice — not just on paper,” Clinton said.
“Laws have to be backed up with resources and political will,” she explained. “And deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed. As I have said and as I believe, the advancement of the full participation of women and girls in every aspect of their societies is the great unfinished business of the 21st century and not just for women but for everyone — and not just in far away countries but right here in the United States.”
In one sense, this shows just how extreme the pro-abortion caucus actually is. As Hillary admits here — albeit unwittingly — the at-will destruction of the unborn goes against religious beliefs, long-held cultural values, and the structural “biases” that exist to recognize the value of human life. That’s what the “clump of cells” fallacy has to overcome, and as Hillary and the Left have discovered, it’s a tall order. And it’s not just abortion, but also same-sex marriage and forced participation in it, euthanasia dressed up as “right to die” movements, and the rest.
Politically speaking, this kind of hostility to religion plays well … among the “safe space,” “trigger warning” crowd. Running for president on the basis of promising to use the power of government to change “deep seated cultural codes [and] religious beliefs” might be the most honest progressive slogan in history, but it’s not going to endear Hillary to the people who got offended by Barack Obama’s “bitterly clinging” comments — which she exploited in 2008 to paint herself as the friend of those denizens of middle America. Those voters will now see the real Hillary Clinton, the one who dismisses their faith just the same as Obama did, and this time publicly rather than in a private fundraiser.
What does Hillary do to counter this? I’m waiting to hear If you like your religion, you can keep your religion. That will fit the progressive pattern well.
Update: Matt Lewis writes that “Hillary lets the veil slip,” irony apparently intended:
Regardless of how one feels about gay rights or the abortion debate, it is interesting that liberals are finally getting around to openly confessing something all of us sort of know — yet few will say out loud: Achieving a liberal social agenda will necessarily require first extirpating many “deep-seated” Christian values and tenets.
We’ve been pointing this out since well before the “bitter clinger” comments from Obama. But the masks — excuse me, veils — are indeed coming off. Progressivism is indeed a jealous idol, one that does not tolerate a God before it.
Hillary has gone into full NAZI mode with that statement
No kidding! It looks like she intends to out-psycho 0psycho.
Gotta get that base salivating for her.
“Throw some Christians to the lions, Hillary! Yeahhhh!”
That would be one way to make people change their views I guess...
Sure, Hillary. That’s one solution. Another one might be that abortionists have to bend to accommodate deeply held religious beliefs. After all, the priest was here long before the abortionist.
“In general, I am pro-life.”
That’s like saying “a little bit pregnant.”
Thank you for posting this article. It sounds like Hillary will call for all Christians and Jews to change their (our) beliefs to be in line with her personal theology.
Important Hillary line: “Achieving a liberal social agenda will necessarily require first extirpating many “deep-seated” Christian values and tenets.”
And tie this in with an earlier post of this article:
Dear Churches in America: Prepare to Be Treated Like 1st Century Christians in Rome
Yeah, so much for that “freedom of religion” thing. I guess we are to be denied the “free exercise thereof.”
Or like saying that "I personally oppose abortion in my private life, but I take the opposite view for what I would do in the office that I am running for, where I will be actually making the laws on abortion", so vote for me if you are pro-life.
Deep seated religious beliefs, like, “You shall not murder,” and “You shall not commit adultery.” These need to change.
Or: Personally I’m opposed to killing Jews, but I don’t want to impose my values on Nazis.
All religions need sacraments, even secular religions. They unfortunately chose human sacrifice as theirs.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Even the Nazis found abortion repugnant.
And these are the people who would shoot children and their mothers.

Exactly what a Satanist would say.
The American people are morally much SICKER than the German people in the Nazi era.
Hitler concealed his death camps. America’s abortion mills are in the Yellow Pages, and have been for 42 years.
The Nazis lied about their murderous intentions. The Democrat party has had abortion in their platform since 1972.
Only several thousand men ran the death camps. More than 100 million Americans have taken part directly in abortions.
A few Catholic bishops supported Hitler to some degree. Only about ten American bishops do NOT insist on giving Communion to pro-abortion politicians—which makes those bishops pro-abortion.
If the American people were to be become as morally healthy as the German people were in 1933, America would be a morally healthier place.
How about deep seated religious beliefs against human sacrifice, cannibalism and bestiality? Does Hilary have a position on those beliefs, too? I mean if we’re going to change the silly little religious belief about murdering babies, why stop there?
Yes, she ought to qualify that statement: children who are allowed to survive."
Exactly. Pure hypocrisy.
Where in the Constitution does it say our goal is a “liberal America?”
“just have a conscience”.
Liberals don’t.
I will change mine Hillary, right after you change yours. Why does mine need to change, what gives you the right to dictate my beliefs? I don’t dictate your.. I do make fun of them though and I am almost sorry for that.
yeah that really torpedo'd Baraq, didn't it?
