Chelsea Clinton: I Left the Church at Age Six Over Abortion
Townhall.com ^ | Christine Rousselle

Chelsea Clinton, the daughter of former President Bill Clinton and current Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, said in an interview at a Hillary Clinton fundraiser that she left the Baptist church because she was not happy that she was told about abortion when she was a 6-year-old.

From LifeNews:

"I find it quite insulting sometimes when people say to my mom, my dad or me . . . that they question our faith,' said Chelsea. "I was raised in a Methodist church and I left the Baptist church before my dad did, because I didn't know why they were talking to me about abortion when I was 6 in Sunday school — that's a true story."

"My mother is very deeply a person of faith," Chelsea said. "It is deeply authentic and real for my mother, and it guides so much of her moral compass, but also her life's work."

"I recognized that there were many expressions of faith that I don't agree with and feel [are] quite antithetical to how I read the Bible," Chelsea said. "But I find it really challenging when people who are self-professed liberals kind of look askance at my family's history."

On Twitter, many people raised eyebrows at Chelsea's story:

@EsotericCD This is why the left doesn't trust her. Her pandering is so outrageously and obviously false it makes no sense.— Seth Mandel (@SethAMandel) February 11, 2016

There is no possible reason for an American child of six years old to have to know what abortion is....None.— Colonel (@laurakfillault) February 11, 2016

@StevenErtelt @SOcean5 6 y/o's are more concerned with Sunday school snacks- I call bullshit— bee kay (@beekaytulsa) February 11, 2016

How does Chelsea get away w/saying crazy stuff like this? She also discussed Bush tax cuts as towers fell on 9/11. https://t.co/zTsWwZvg4f— Karol Markowicz (@karol) February 11, 2016

Two possibilities: 1) she's a bold-faced liar, or 2) she was a really creepy & depraved 6 year old. https://t.co/zE7GwjvQc5— Sarah Rumpf (@rumpfshaker) February 11, 2016

Now, while I'm not a Baptist and I've never been to church in Arkansas, but as someone who helped teach C.C.D. classes to kindergarteners at my parish for two years while I was in high school, I am positive that nothing involving abortion was ever mentioned to my students in my classroom. It's not appropriate to discuss abortion to someone who is that young, and that topic should be saved for someone who is more mature and able to understand what is happening. Further, most 6-year-olds I taught were far more concerned with coloring than social issues.

Far better than obama (he gets caught in every lie ... it’s just that he’s not held accountable ... by anyone), Chelsea is not as good at lying as her parents ... yet.

This is as big a lie as “Chelsea was just down the block when the Towers went down,” These Clintons are soulless shameless swine.

You know what angers me more than these D-bags???

The fact that people KNOWINGLY swallow the lies they spew and continue to vote for them.
But not just vote for them, but endorse and promote them and excoriate anyone who opposes them.

And then when said policies turn to s#!t, they blame others and double down on the stupid.

This girl needs to get on her knees nightly and thank her husband...
for marrying her

Uglier than sin, with no other redeeming qualities.

RE: If she is that pro-abortion, then why doesn’t she kill her own babies?

Clinton policy is "abortion for thee ( "thee" being primarily blacks and Hispanics in minority neighborhoods where most Planned Parenthood abortuaries set up shop) but not for me."

The same subject, yes. Different sources and different authors though.

So even as a six year old she liked to see babies killed.

B-HO is a pathological liar but Shrilly is a congenital liar, so it only makes sense that her Mini-Me is one, too.

If she left the Baptist Church when she was six because they were telling her about abortion and her father stayed and didn’t confront the church leaders, well, that says a lot about her father.

>>Shut up Chelsea, you are an idiot, keep that fact to your self.

No, no! KEEP TALKING, Chelsea, so more people can see what liars you Clintons are.

There are a lot of mothers and teachers who are quite familiar with child development, who will recognize this as FAKE.

I’m happy to let them continue to self-expose their true nature : )

She’s not all Webb. She’s inherited from Mama too, clearly.
