#1719 (9/24) PRO-LIFE SAT: "Think There is No Difference Between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton on Abortion? Then Read This"

"THINK THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DONALD TRUMP AND HILLARY CLINTON ON ABORTION? THEN READ THIS" -  Carol Tobias, Sep. 22, 2016 | http://www.lifenews.com/2016/09/22/think-there-is-no-difference-between-donald-trump-and-hillary-clinton-on-abortion-then-read-this/ [AS I SEE IT: Each of this year's candidates for President have talked about what disqualifies their opponent from being President. In one of her recent commercials, Hillary Clinton has been talking about how much she has always tried to help every born child in America. Just listen to her speak and she is careful to only mention children who are born. What she also says in effect perfectly clear - she has no regard for the unborn child. To her, those children are just not worth protecting. And as this article explains, this becomes perfectly clear in the legislation she - and the Democratic Party - does support. To me it is clear - someone with such a disregard of the most innocent and defenseless human life is disqualified from leading our country or serving us in any way. - Stan

In a little more than a month, we will be electing leaders at all levels of government to determine the course of our country for many years to come. On the ballot this year will be candidates for president, 34 states will have candidates for U.S. Senate, every state will have candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives, some of you will be voting for Governor, Attorney General, and other state offices, and most of you will have state legislative races.

The contrast between presidential candidates is so very clear.

Donald Trump wrote in a news column earlier this year, “Let me be clear — I am pro-life. I support that position with exceptions allowed for rape, incest or the life of the mother being at risk. I did not always hold this position, but I had a significant personal experience that brought the precious gift of life into perspective for me.”

Donald Trump has stated his commitment to signing the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which will protect unborn children who can feel pain, essentially ending late-term abortions. Trump opposes taxpayer funding of abortion and abortion providers, and has repeatedly expressed his commitment to appointing pro-life judges.

Hillary Clinton is exactly the opposite. As a U.S Senator, she voted 100% against the babies. There was no limit on abortion that she would accept. We had a 12-year battle to ban partial-birth abortion. In this procedure, the abortionist grabs the unborn baby’s leg with forceps and pulls the baby into the birth canal. The abortionist delivers the baby’s entire body, except for the head. He jams scissors into the baby’s skull and opens the scissors to enlarge the hole. The scissors are removed and a suction catheter is inserted. The child’s brains are sucked out, causing the skull to collapse. The dead baby is then removed.

Horrifying? Gruesome? Hillary Clinton voted repeatedly to keep partial-birth abortion legal. Thankfully, in 2007, the Supreme Court upheld a ban on partial-birth abortion.

Many states have laws requiring parents be notified, or give consent, before an abortion is performed on their minor daughter. The laws are often circumvented when minors are transported, often by older boyfriends, to other states that do not have parental involvement requirements. Congress tried to protect the rights of parents in these situations, but Senate Democrats, including Hillary Clinton, blocked the bills. Clinton doesn’t care about your rights as a parent. She apparently has no problem with someone taking your daughter out of state to get an abortion so you don’t have to be told.

The State Children’s Health Insurance program, or SCHIP, is a federal program that provides funds to states primarily so they may provide health services to children of low-income families. In 2002, the administration of President George W. Bush issued a regulation giving states the option of covering unborn children under the program, a policy known as the “unborn child rule.” The Senate, in 2007, held a vote to codify the “unborn child rule” so it couldn’t be changed by a future administration. The amendment would have written explicit language into the SCHIP statute to guarantee that a covered child “includes, at the option of a State, an unborn child.” Hillary Clinton voted No. This woman, who wants us to think she really cares about health care, didn’t think unborn children should get health care.

In contrast to Trump, Hillary Clinton opposes the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. She apparently thinks it’s okay to kill unborn babies who have developed far enough that they can feel pain.

And, of course, Hillary Clinton is Planned Parenthood’s favorite candidate. The nation’s largest abortion provider announced it will spend around $20 million to elect Clinton and pro-abortion Senators. In return, Clinton and the Democrat Party platform calls for the repeal of the Hyde amendment so that abortion on demand is funded by our tax dollars.

When Bill Clinton was president, he said that abortion should be “safe, legal, and rare.” Hillary doesn’t bother to say rare. She just wants it legal. In fact, she has said the unborn child has no constitutional rights up until the day of birth. When you think Hillary Clinton, think abortion for all nine months for any reason. No limit or restriction is to be permitted.

In addition to a critical presidential race, we need to elect pro-life Senators and Representatives to pass bills to send to a pro-life president; or do what is necessary and possible to stop pro-abortion efforts by a pro-abortion president. We need to elect pro-life governors and attorneys general and legislators so that states can continue to enact and defend pro-life legislation, giving the Supreme Court opportunities to overturn Roe v Wade.

I am a tremendous admirer of Winston Churchill. He was the right man in the right place at the right time to, quite frankly, save the world. If it hadn’t been for Churchill’s determination and indomitable spirit, we can’t know how much of the world Adolph Hitler would have conquered.

In the book, The Last Lion, Defender of the Realm, Churchill says that Hitler was out-killing even his Teutonic ancestors. And not since the Mongols came in the thirteenth century had Europe seen such “methodical, merciless butchery” on such a monstrous scale. “We are in the presence,” he concluded, “of a crime without a name.”

I read that and thought, wow, methodical, merciless butchery on such a monstrous scale, we are in the presence of a crime without a name. I’m sure you know what I was thinking. One million unborn babies killed every year– some scraped out of the uterus with a metal curette, some of these little ones vacuumed or suctioned out; still others bleeding to death as they are torn apart limb by limb in the dismemberment process. Except, this crime does have a name– abortion. And we must do everything we can to stop it. The battle before us is to elect pro-life candidates so that we may continue our push forward to protect those babies.

"'How Can Pro-Abortion Hillary Clinton Say 'The True Measure of Society is How We Treat Children' ” - Micaiah Bilger, Sept. 22, 2016  |http://www.lifenews.com/2016/09/22/how-can-pro-abortion-hillary-clinton-say-the-true-measure-of-society-is-how-we-treat-children/ 

"Hillary Clinton’s Plan to Make Americans Fund Abortions 'is Right Out of Margaret Sanger’s Playbook'”Rep. Keith Rotfus, Sept.23, 2016; http://www.lifenews.com/2016/09/23/hillary-clintons-plan-to-make-americans-fund-abortions-is-right-out-of-margaret-sangers-playbook/
"... Last year during a speech she gave at the 6th annual Women in the World Summit she unapologetically painted “religious beliefs,” as an undue obstacle to abortion. She suggested that abortion (unsurprisingly veiled under the phrase 'reproductive healthcare') is necessary for women’s advancement in society. 'Laws have to be backed up with resources and political will,' she opined, 'And deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed.'”
    "In other words, with Clinton in the Oval Office, there would be little to no space for authentic religious expression in the public sphere. Religious freedom, especially as it pertains to the issue of abortion, would be reduced to freedom of worship — believe what you want inside your church or place of worship, but step into the public sphere, and you must live according to the moral dictates of the secular state."
    "The fact is, Clinton’s tactics are right out of Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger’s playbook. Sanger was a racist and eugenicist who referred to African-Americans and disabled Americans as 'morons,' 'imbeciles,' 'human weeds' and 'misfits.' Sanger admired — and closely studied — Stalinist Russia’s eugenicist policies. She marveled at how the communist state utilized both abortion and religious oppression to advance its societal goals. Like her protégé Hillary Clinton, Sanger attacked religious beliefs as an obstacle to abortion and stated: 'We [in America] could well take example from Russia.'”
    "As I consider the serious challenges to life and religious freedom we face today, I recall the timeless words of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. who wrote in his Letter from a Birmingham Jail: “If today I lived in a communist country where certain principles dear to the Christian faith are suppressed, I would openly advocate disobeying that country’s antireligious laws.” Inspired by Dr. King’s courage and unrelenting conviction, we must never stop fighting for life and religious freedom, the cornerstones of the American way, and we must speak loudly for the most defenseless and voiceless among us at the ballot box this November."
