Hillary's Planned Parenthood Pitch...

Hillary Clinton spoke to a group of Planned Parenthood supporters on Tuesday. It doesn't seem that this is a crowd that needs Hillary's courting, but since Barack Obama also spoke to the group, she had to make her appearance. These sort of stops seem very routine at this point, her arrogance seems to make her believe that she has already won, and that we should just all sit back and take it.

In this talk, she glossed over her plans to improve women's health care, sparing the crowd her plans for complete universal health care. She also attacked Republicans saying that they "are not just opposing abortion, they're opposing contraceptives and women's rights." This just sounds like another hateful speech trying to sway people by pulling their emotional rip-cords. Do the Republicans really oppose women's rights? I don't think so. Perhaps it is the idea of federally funded abortions that Republicans oppose. After all, why should I have to pay for someone less responsible than myself to get an abortion which I view to be immoral?

After Clinton and Obama both slammed the Supreme Court for their ruling on late term abortion, Hillary again pushed her "all-knowing" attitude on the crowd. She said, "I would appoint well-qualified judges who really respect the Constitution." We really should all believe this too since Hillary herself has shown such a high regard for our Constitution.

So have no fear, Hillary is here.

Partial-Birth Abortion Ban

"This decision marks a dramatic departure from four decades of Supreme Court rulings that upheld a woman's right to choose and recognized the importance of women's health. Today's decision blatantly defies the Court's recent decision in 2000 striking down a state partial-birth abortion law because of its failure to provide an exception for the health of the mother. As the Supreme Court recognized in Roe v. Wade in 1973, this issue is complex and highly personal; the rights and lives of women must be taken into account. It is precisely this erosion of our constitutional rights that I warned against when I opposed the nominations of Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Alito." --Hillary Clinton 4/18/2007

What about the innocent baby? This is not as wishy-washy as the morning after pill, which I also oppose, this is crushing a birth! Yet she believes this ruling is an "erosion of our constitutional rights"?!
