Hillary Clinton Confirms She Will Appoint Pro-Abortion Judges as President

It's no secret that Hillary Clinton has promoted abortion at every turn as a senator and presidential candidate -- forcing taxpayers to pay for abortions and voting against a partial-birth abortion ban repeatedly. Clinton confirmed she will take her pro-abortion views to the White House in a statement on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade.

At the top of Clinton's agenda as president would be the appointment of Supreme Court judges who would uphold Roe and keep abortion legal for another 35 years.

"When I'm President, I will appoint judges to our courts who understand that Roe v. Wade isn't just binding legal precedent," Clinton said in the statement LifeNews.com obtained.

She said the judges would share her view that Roe "is the touchstone of our reproductive freedom, the embodiment of our most fundamental rights, and no one - no judge, no governor, no Senator, no President - has the right to take it away."

Clinton opposed the nominations of Justices Alito and Roberts to the Supreme Court because, as her campaign said in the statement, "she believed they represented the greatest threat to Roe since it was decided."

"On the 35th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, I am reaffirming my commitment to safe, legal, and rare abortion," Clinton added.

The campaign said Clinton would sign the Freedom of Choice Act, which would not only codify Roe but overturn many of the pro-life laws state legislatures have passed such as parental involvement measures or informed consent.

Clinton said her agenda would also include promoting comprehensive sexual education and the promotion of birth control over abstinence education, which studies have shown to be effective.

Her statement follows on the heels of an endorsement from WCLA - Choice Matters, one of the oldest pro-abortion groups in the nation.

It joins NOW, the Women's Campaign Forum, National Women's Political Caucus, Women's Political Committee and Emily's List as leading pro-abortion groups backing her candidacy.

Reason enough to vote against her.

Is Hillary pro abortion? Is there anyone out there in the pro choice movement that actually advocates abortion for all women? I certainly support a woman's right to chose, but I don't picket maternity wards screaming that they should kill their babies.

Also, in the interest of fairness, when was the last time any president appointed judges that they disagreed with?

Does this surprise anybody?

I have to say that it may not be a good move politically. It may help her in the primaries to sway votes in the liberal base, but when it comes to the election it could hurt. Even moderates hold strong views on abortion. Abortion is too politically charged for her to have taken a stand so early, and may backfire when it is the one issue that would keep right-leaning moderates from voting for her.

I think the only abortion that I would support would be to Killery's mother before 0ct 26 1947.

What are you talking about? What the fuck is an abortionist judge? One who performs abortions?

Seriously, you guys need some new rhetoric.

Very well said!
We all know that Pro-Choicers really enjoy killing babies...The cuter the better, right.
While Pro-Lifers prefer to allow the babies to grow up a little, so they can work in their sweatshops & fight the wars that the Prolifers love to watch on TV, from a safe distance.

This is such a pathetic and ridiculous argument. Pro-lifers are against any and all unjust wars. To not be is self-contradictory.
