The contradiction was there with Kerry too… but yet Catholics still voted for him.
She’s full of nonsense. Now she says she respects those that are pro-life. Then why is it that when I send her letters asking for support for the partial-birth abortion ban or the unborn victims of violence act, I get back letters of complete disrespect - letters which condemn my position as wrong and explain why she is right?No way, no how! She would have to have a Saint-Paul-on-the-road-to-Damascus experience regarding abortion and then I don’t think I could overcome my doubt. This new “overture” she’s making about more “restrained” abortion (“see, if we can get people to adopt a few of them, we won’t have to kill as many!”) is not in the least credible. I don’t trust her as far as I could throw her.
I’d venture to say she has done absolutely nothing. I can’t name a thing - can you?and BTW - she hasn’t done much for NY - she ran on a platform of job creation. She has failed miserably.
Higher taxes are the answer to everything.
That contraception comment was not a shot at pro-choice individuals. It was a shot at those that promote abstinence. It is the acceptance of contraception by mainstream America that has lead to the abortion crisis. As long as contraception is widely accepted, abortion will be around.Watch out, she’s carefully maneuvering to get our votes. I’m usually Hilary-phobic but I just happened to be reading Andrew Sullivan’s take on her abortion speech this week, over at New Republic which is subscription only. Here’s a paragraph I copped:
“…Clinton did one other thing as well. She paid respect to her opponents. She acknowledged the genuine religious convictions of those who oppose all abortion. She recognized how communities of faith have often been the most successful in persuading young women to refrain from teenage sex. She challenged her pro-choice audience by pointing out that “seven percent of American women who do not use contraception account for 53 percent of all unintended pregnancies.” She also cited research estimating that 15,000 abortions per year are by women who have been sexually assaulted–one of several reasons, she said, that morning-after emergency contraception should be made available over the counter. By focusing on contraception, she appeals to all those who oppose abortion but who do not follow the abstinence-only movement’s rigid restrictions on the surest way to prevent them…”
Sullivan goes on to say that the Dems need to loosen up and stop making pro-abort a litmus test for all candidates.
Wonder how she’ll do. But she is so powerful now that it’s a pretty significant move for her to do this. She may end up shaming all the pro abort (or passively silent) Republicans.
(BTW, 15,000 assault-caused pregnancies out of 1.3 million abortions a year?? Pretty low rate to justify its legality)
Holy ****. Lodge your protest? I want to picket. Is anyone organizing a protest? This college is disgraceful. I’m sorry to say that as I know many fine people that have attended.HILLARY CLINTON TO SPEAK ON WORKS OF MERCY
Sen. Hillary Clinton, one of Washington’s most vocal advocates of abortion

The lecture is part of a series on the Governmental Role in Effectuating

According to Church teaching, a Catholic could vote for Hilary if the Republican nominee were also pro-choice. Also, non-Catholics get to vote in the election.I’m wondering how many people could actually consider themselves Catholic and vote for Clinton. To me, it’s a direct contradiction.
Would you share one?She’s full of nonsense. Now she says she respects those that are pro-life. Then why is it that when I send her letters asking for support for the partial-birth abortion ban or the unborn victims of violence act, I get back letters of complete disrespect - letters which condemn my position as wrong and explain why she is right?
As bad as Kerry was (and he was bad), Clinton is far worse.The contradiction was there with Kerry too… but yet Catholics still voted for him.![]()
I’m contacting the diocese on this one as well. In ecourage others to do likewise.HILLARY CLINTON TO SPEAK ON WORKS OF MERCY

I’ve got to dig it up. I did keep it but I have to find it - no problem sharing when I do.Would you share one?
I’m not denying that at all!!!As bad as Kerry was (and he was bad), Clinton is far worse.
Not quite so my friend. The Republican nominee would have to be AS pro-choice as Clinton, meaning opposed to even the partial-birth abortion ban and the unborn victims of violence act - and be supportive of homosexual unions, and embryo stem cell research, and human cloning, and euthanasia.According to Church teaching, a Catholic could vote for Hilary if the Republican nominee were also pro-choice. Also, non-Catholics get to vote in the election.
I just don’t see how Hilary could do any worse than John Kerry did, which was darn close.
My grandfather sits in my head and laughs himself silly at the thought of Hilly as pres. Trouble is, the world is just whacked out enough that it could happen! And you know a lot of folks would vote for her in the spirit of sheer novelty.She’s full of nonsense. Now she says she respects those that are pro-life. Then why is it that when I send her letters asking for support for the partial-birth abortion ban or the unborn victims of violence act, I get back letters of complete disrespect - letters which condemn my position as wrong and explain why she is right?
