Quote of the Day 6-28-09
You cannot have maternal health without reproductive health. And reproductive health includes contraception and family planning and access to legal, safe abortion.
~ Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, as quoted by Anna Halpine and Greg Pfundstein at National Review Online, June 26, who editorialized:
Does Hillary Clinton think it is more important to promote liberal Western ideologies than to address the critical needs of the women and children of Africa and Asia? Does she prefer to promote the tired, old eugenic orthodoxies of the largely discredited population-control movement?
Is Hillary Clinton – and the Obama administration – willing to hold up funding for maternal and infant health because of a dogmatic commitment to a universal right to abortion on demand? What about the rights of countless women all over the world who want to bring children into the world safely, without risking their lives and the lives of their children?

Excellent article from the NRO.
To answer their question – no, maternal healthcare funding for Africa and Asia should not be held hostage by Western pro-aborts who would like to normalize abortion around the world.
Abortion is not normal, never was, never will be.
The phrase “abortion on demand” gets to me. Demand? “I DEMAND to kill my child!”… wow. Shows you the pro-abort mind-set right there, doesn’t it?
I have one question:
How is abortion child health care?
Uh – Hil –
Killing children via abortion is not very maternal.
You are an extremist. Here is another one – hopelessly devoted to you I’m sure.
