Make No Mistake, President Hillary Clinton Would Promote Unlimited
Abortion

Man, the price of "long veal" would plummet!

I've entertained no doubts about Hillary Clinton's position on
abortion but if I had, they would have been dispelled after the speech
she gave before Planned Parenthood political activists on July 17th.

During her speech, the Democratic presidential candidate pledged
continuing support of Planned Parenthood, bragged of her 100 percent
voting record with that organization and said of her relationship with
Planned Parenthood, "I'm very proud of our partnership, of working
together over so many years on behalf of reproductive freedom and
health care and fundamental Constitutional rights and values."

After lamenting President Bush's pro-life record that included
reintroducing Mexico City Policy that prevents funding from going to
organizations that perform or promote abortion overseas, the woman-who-
wants-to-be-president promised Planned Parenthood "[W]hen I'm
president, I will devote my very first days in office to reversing
these ideological, anti-science, anti-prevention policies that this
administration has put into place. Starting with the 'Global Gag
Rule' [Mexico City Policy] and going from there and I will not rest
until we once again protect women's health, honor families' privacy
and restore our fundamental Constitutional freedoms."

A "President Hillary" would roll back pro-life policies that were
instituted under President Reagan and continued under both Bush
presidents. A President Hillary would make judicial appointments
reflective of her opinion that abortion on demand must be upheld
through Roe and, "That no one-no judge, no governor, no senator, no
president has the right to take away."

There have been few times over the years when Senator Clinton has
stepped away from her carefully prepared speeches that say just enough
to reassure her pro-abortion base but not enough to alarm the average
American. And while her speech before activists with the Planned
Parenthood Action Fund was also carefully scripted, it departs from
her usual general vagueness on abortion. This carefully scripted
speech was designed to "rouse the troops"-so to speak-and contains
definitive statements about Candidate Clinton's position on abortion
that, before now, would have been defined strictly by her pro-abortion
voting record and her deliberately ambiguous public statements.

Doubt not, Gentle Reader, Senator Clinton has sworn her fealty to Roe
and the cause of the pro-abortion movement. She considers Roe, "the
touchstone of reproductive freedom and the embodiment of our most
fundamental rights."

If it weren't for Planned Parenthood posting the video on one of their
many campaign websites, I believe that it would have remained an
obscure footnote in a relentless presidential campaign. Senator
Clinton's campaign website doesn't include this speech in the list of
her recent appearances, there is no press release announcing her
attendance at the event and there is no transcript of her speech.

Why?

I'm interested to know if Senator Clinton's campaign is embarrassed
about the event and the Senator's relationship with Planned Parenthood
or if someone just hasn't gotten around to posting the event and
speech text on the website?

If it's embarrassment-why? If abortion is supposedly such a good
thing, then why be embarrassed? Or is it-despite repeated assertions
to the contrary by pro-abortion groups and their sympathizers-that
Senator Clinton recognizes the truth, that the vast majority of
Americans are either opposed to abortion or very uncomfortable with
abortion on demand? Does she recognize that her pro-abortion base is
smaller than the public is led to believe-that these groups, while
loud and demanding, nonetheless represent a minority of voters?

Whatever the case may be, we can know this: a President Hillary would
be, at a minimum, at least as bad as her husband was on pro-life
issues and probably worse. At stake are not only issues such as
abortion on demand and the right to life but also new, more expansive
right to life issues such as stem cell research and cloning. President
Hillary, hand-in-hand with Planned Parenthood and Democratic
leadership, would seriously undermine the right to life.

and five other families: "Don't go sell it on eBay."
