Hillary Clinton: ‘Religious beliefs’ against abortion ‘have to be changed’

NEW YORK CITY, April 24, 2015 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Speaking to an influential gathering in New York City on Thursday, Hillary Clinton declared that “religious beliefs” that condemn "reproductive rights," “have to be changed.”

“Yes, we've cut the maternal mortality rate in half, but far too many women are still denied critical access to reproductive health,” Hillary told the Women in the World Summit yesterday.

Liberal politicians use “reproductive health” as a blanket term that includes abortion. However, Hillary's reference echoes National Organization for Women (NOW) president Terry O’Neill's op-ed from last May that called abortion “an essential measure to prevent the heartbreak of infant mortality.”

The Democratic presidential hopeful added that governments should throw the power of state coercion behind the effort to redefine traditional religious dogmas.

“Rights have to exist in practice, not just on paper. Laws have to be backed up with resources, and political will,” she said. “Deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs, and structural biases have to be changed.”

The level of arrogance required to say, “God messed up when He gave us the Bible; I’ll fix His mistakes for Him,” is staggering. But it’s Hillary. I’m not surprised that she looks at the world that way.

The MSM is maintaining near-complete silence on this one, as one sees by Googling the offending sentence. The Washington ComPost didn’t mention it until Jeb did (credit where credit is due) and then said: “the remark about religious beliefs appeared to be primarily directed at political and social leaders abroad.” - http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-politics/wp/2015/04/26/jeb-bush-targets-hillary-clintons-comments-on-womens-rights-and-religious-freedom/

Yes, Hillary. Tell that to God when, and if, you see Him.

Fixed it.

“You fool! Don’t you know every Taurus pistol purchased brings us closer to TEOTWAWKI?”

LOL My first and probably favorite gun was a Taurus Model 85 stainless snubby. It is a completely no frills out of the box stainless revolver with wooden grips. I have never had to do anything to it. It just keeps on working. People look at me like I just landed in a flying saucer when I tell them I can put every round on a 1’ x 1’ target at 25 yards with it.

Oh see will see Him.

She’ll be sent to one line, Christians to another.

Hildabeast follows the father of all lies. Not only is she being used by him as a complete fool, I believe she’s actually demon possessed.

This will require sending tens of millions of people to internment camps.

Hillary’s statement about “changing religious beliefs” is no offhand statement or slip of the tongue.

The notion that Christianity must be forced to “evolve” to be in step with current societal norms has been showing up in the media and in judicial rulings with increasing frequency. Just yesterday the NY Times ran yet another opinion piece about how Christianity must now adapt to embrace homosexuality.

Yes, there will be camps for adults if Christians don’t start pushing back hard, but they won’t be much fun.

“Yes, Hillary. Tell that to God when you see Him.”

It won’t happen soon enough.

The sig line is just a bit of silliness I saw on a forum once, and appropriated.

I have a stainless Taurus 605 snubby I picked up some years back (picked it up the day the Heller decision came down). I think highly of it.
