There Couldn’t Be a Clearer Choice on Election Day


As our nation approaches the general election (Nov 8), the contrast of the two major party candidates could not be clearer when it comes to life: Hillary Clinton is pro-abortion while Donald Trump is pro-life.  Clinton received millions of dollars in campaign funds from Planned Parenthood (PP) while Trump supports defunding PP if the organization doesn’t stop doing abortions.  Clinton clearly states she would appoint liberal U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) justices and federal judges to preserve the 1973 SCOTUS edit that legalized the termination of human life in the womb on demand while Trump would appoint justices who could eventually overturn the Roe v. Wade decision.

Clinton says, “I strongly support Roe v. Wade, which guarantees a constitutional right to a woman to make the most intimate, most difficult in many cases, decisions about her healthcare that one could imagine ... I do not think the United States government should be stepping in and making those most personal of decisions.”

Judie Brown of the American Life League (ALL) tells OneNewsNow that Mrs. Clinton’s stance is 180-degrees from that of the GOP presidential candidate.  “She has been championing the same hymn of praise to Planned Parenthood for as long as she’s been in public office – and before she was in public office actually when she was just a governor’s wife in Arkansas,” says Brown.  “So I’m not a bit surprised by her.  She’s devoted with all of her heart and soul with killing babies and to Planned Parenthood ... and everybody knows it.”

Clinton has also made it clear that women should be free to decide whether they want to kill their baby through the ninth month – right up until birth.

Jeanne Mancini of March for Life says that’s not only out of touch with pro-life America – “It’s even out of touch with the average pro-choice American,” she continues.  “Six out of ten pro-choice Americans think that abortion should be limited at most to the first trimester – and that is not what Hillary Clinton stands for.”

Brown reacts as well to Clinton’s opposition to a ban on partial-birth abortion.  “She protects – quote, unquote – ‘women’s rights,’ which is a code word for ‘women’s rights to choose to kill their babies and to do everything they possibly can to avoid accepting responsibility for the babies they conceive,” states the ALL leader.  “Hillary Clinton is a devotee of child killing.  She’s a devotee of everything that Planned Parenthood stands for – and that’s not news to anyone.”

Carol Tobias, president of the National Right to Life Committee, points out that Trump stressed the appointment of pro-life judges; and that if Roe v. Wade is overturned, abortion decisions will be placed in the hands of state lawmakers.  “He has been very firm on that throughout the entire campaign,” says Tobias.  “[He] has stated it several times.  This election is about the Supreme Court – because that could affect the future of unborn children for many, many years to come.”

Mancini also stresses that Clinton promises to abolish the Hyde Amendment, which forbids use of federal funds for abortions.  Trump supports the Hyde Amendment.

The choice is clear for those who value the unborn.  If you’ll listen closely, you can hear 56-million unborn Americans crying out from garbage disposals, septic systems, and scientific laboratories – “Stop the murder of the innocent.  Where’s our right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?  Aren’t we equally created in the image of God?  I would have been glad to be adopted by a loving family who longs to raise us.  Did the thought ever occur to you that I may have been the mind bearing the cure for cancer and a host of other ailments that plague you?”

  1. In addition to killing those who may have held the to key to curing any number of diseases, PP has killed 56 million tax payers, 56 million voters, (most of whom would have been democrats) 56 million producers of goods and services. While we're at it, how does PP receive tax dollars and then use those dollars for a campaign contribution? PP (and Clinton) would have us believe that women can only find health care at PP. I haven't heard any family clinic say they do not provide health care for women. After all, isn't that what Obama Care was supposed to ensure, that everyone would have the care they needed by the doctor of their choice. Why therefore do we even need PP. The reason is because PP will kill babies while other clinics would not. Roe was an unconstitutional decision. Another clear violation of the 9th and 10th amendments. Every dollar appropriated for PP violates Article I Sec.8, yet our congress continues to act outside of the constitution and the people continue to tolerate it. You're right, this election couldn't be more clear but not just at the presidential level. We must elect a congress that will abide by the constitution. That means a House that will appropriate according to Sec.8, that will hold the other branches accountable, a Senate that will honestly vet justices and other appointments and just rubber stamp them. Presidents actually have very little power without the concurrence of congress. Why can't we as voters demand people of integrity? Why do we continue to settle for the lesser of two evils? Every time we do we just get more evil, evil that we settle for because it could be worse. Why can't we demand a president that at least have as much integrity as you or I do?
