I was reading Hillary Clinton’s Senate website the other day to remind myself of what her views on different issues were. This is what I found on the issue of abortion:
“I strongly believe that every child should be wanted, cherished, and loved. For more than a decade I have worked to reduce the number of unintended pregnancies, especially teen pregnancies, and to promote policies with the goal of making abortion safe, legal, and rare. “

I agree with her that every child should be wanted, cherished, and loved. I have a three year old son myself and love him with all my soul. I also agree that it is a noble goal to reduce the number of unintended pregnancies among teens. What caught my interest was the incongruency between cherishing children and promoting policies which murder children. I am quite sure that Senator Clinton probably believes that if the child is not wanted and cherished by their parents, then it is more humane to simply kill them. I disagree. So do some friends of mine who just waited for more than a year to adopt one of those children. This baby is loved and cherished by its real parents. The other thing that caught my interest was the incongruency between making abortion safe and killing the baby. I am left to surmise that Senator Clinton means it should be safe for the mother to kill her baby, hence leaving another incongruency between cherishing every child and killing them. I am left to surmise that she only thinks we should cherish all those children who were intended and wanted by their parents.
She also goes on to say that abortion should be made legal. This is interesting since it already is legal to commit infanticide in our nation. How much more legal would she like this form of murder to be? I am left to surmise that maybe she is looking to promote the pro-death agenda at all levels, for any or no reason at all. Or perhaps, she has the Communist system of forced abortions in China in mind. I wonder if Senator Clinton might clarify this ambiguity for us so that we all know exactly where she stands on the murder of the unborn.
Senator Clinton finally goes on to state that abortion should be made rare. If this is true, then why spend all of your time making it safe and legal. I am left to surmise that Senator Clinton is a walking contradiction which is typical of the type of doublespeak we often hear from Washington D.C., especially from the Clinton family. What is the definition of “is” anyway?
