At last night’s Democratic debate, Secretary Clinton went on a tear about abortion. She insisted that she would do everything in her power to make sure that it remains legal to kill unborn humans at any time and for any reason–even at or during the ninth month of pregnancy. In short, both she and Senator Bernie Sanders will not accept any limitation on legal abortion. They want it to be a legal throughout all nine months of pregnancy. No compromise. In her own words:
You know, there is no doubt that the only people that I would ever appoint to the Supreme Court are people who believe that Roe V. Wade is settled law… And I want to say something about this since we’re talking about the Supreme Court and what’s at stake. We’ve had eight debates before, this is our ninth. We’ve not had one question about a woman’s right to make her own decisions about reproductive health care, not one question. And in the meantime we have states, governors doing everything they can to restrict women’s rights. We have a presidential candidate by the name of Donald Trump saying that women should be punished. And we are never asked about this. And to be complete in my concern, Senator Sanders says with respect to Trump it was a distraction. I don’t think it’s a distraction. It goes to the heart of who we are as women, our rights, our autonomy, our ability to make our own decisions, and we need to be talking about that and defending Planned Parenthood from these outrageous attacks.
Secretary Clinton aims to defend Roe v. Wade and won’t nominate anyone to the Supreme Court who might give the least bit of recognition to the people who are killed by abortion. The only judges she will consider are those who believe it is a constitutional right to take the life of unborn human beings–even those who are fully formed babies right before birth. She won’t consider anyone who might overrule Roe v. Wade. Keep in mind that Roe v. Wade has presided over the legal killing of nearly 60 million human beings since 1973. It is–by any objective measure–the greatest human rights crisis of our time, and Secretary Clinton wishes to keep it going.
Secretary Clinton also wants to defend Planned Parenthood, the nation’s leading provider of abortions. Planned Parenthood kills over 300,000 unborn human being per year. Recently, it’s employees have even been caught trying to sell the body parts of unborn babies killed by abortion. Secretary Clinton aims not only to defend that organization but also to ensure that it continues to receive federal funding.
She is completely unqualified for the office she seeks, and so is anyone else who would defend and lionize the deadly regime of Roe v. Wade.

Ok, but still she’s better than Trump, right? Or are you warming up to Trump?

The tragedy of a life ended before it has drawn breath is felt in the lives of many women who grieve for what might have been.
I refuse to judge any woman who out of desperation has sought an abortion . . . I look at our world and ask how it can be that she was brought to that place of desperation, so bereft of all hope . . . and I ask God’s healing on a world that allows this to happen.
