Ryan seems to think partial-birth abortion already being illegal and the 2005 address not being specifically about the procedure should put the matter to bed, as if that’s all the evidence there is. She conveniently forgets, as I documented back in February, that Clinton not only voted against the 2003 ban, but she condemned the Supreme Court decision to uphold it in 2007—two years after the speech Ryan cites.
Clinton expressly said that forbidding partial-birth abortion was “infringing on fundamental rights” and “imposing onerous burdens on women and their families,” and that subjecting one’s child to that procedure was a “complex and highly personal” decision that fell within the rightful scope of “the rights and lives of women.”
She said that protecting babies from being partially delivered and then killed would be “criminaliz[ing] a medical procedure” and fear-mongered that doing so would invite America to do “the very same kinds of things” done in Communist Romania and China to coerce and restrict childbirth.
If Erin Gloria Ryan is aware of Hillary Clinton ever disavowing these remarks—the only thing that could possibly make her title true—then by all means, let’s hear it. That Hillary hides her position by never using the words “partial-birth abortion” means nothing—especially when she continues to call it “extreme” and “dangerous” to ban the first cousin of partial-birth abortion, late-term abortion. Demonstrated in the video below is a late-term induction abortion:
Of course, Ryan probably is fully aware of how Hillary voted, how she reacted to Gonzalez, etc. That doesn’t stop her from absurdly pretending “it isn’t clear where Pence is getting the notion that Clinton supports partial-birth abortions,” because all that matters to the abortion cult is The Narrative.
Speaking of The Narrative, she rounded out her column by peddling a couple more pieces of it
Purvi Patel (via St. Joseph’s County, IN police department)
This talking point, unfortunately, was only made possible by Pence’s one oversight in an otherwise-excellent performance. No pro-life politician should ever let a pro-abort get away with lying about the irrefutablebiologicalfact that abortion kills living human children being just a religious matter.
To Erin Gloria Ryan and her fellow travelers, Hillary Clinton’s actual positions don’t matter. The children abortion kills don’t mater. Purvi Patel’s crimes don’t matter. All that matters is getting what they want, and no lie—no matter how implausible, easily checkable, or harmful—is too big in getting it.
