Hillary Upset Over SCOTUS Ruling
Predictably, Hillary didn’t waste any time in demagoguing today’s Supreme Court ruling. Here’s her official statement:
“This decision marks a dramatic departure from four decades of Supreme Court rulings that upheld a woman’s right to choose and recognized the importance of women’s health. Today’s decision blatantly defies the Court’s recent decision in 2000 striking down a state partial-birth abortion law because of its failure to provide an exception for the health of the mother. As the Supreme Court recognized in Roe v. Wade in 1973, this issue is complex and highly personal; the rights and lives of women must be taken into account. It is precisely this erosion of our constitutional rights that I warned against when I opposed the nominations of Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Alito.”
It wasn’t that long ago that Hillary told her supporters that pro choice advocates should try to find common ground with pro lifers. I guess that’s out the window after this statement. Here’s what she said then:
In late January, Sen. Clinton urged a group of abortion rights supporters to find common ground with pro-lifers. “We should be able to agree that we want every child born in this country to be wanted, cherished and loved,” Clinton said in a speech near Albany, N.Y.
She made that calculated move to establish her moderate bona fides. She’s clearly shifted into extremist mode. How can she make such a statement when Daniel Patrick Moynihan, whose retirement provide Hillary the opening to run for the Senate, called partial birth abortion too close to infanticide to tell the difference? As I said earlier, Moynihan was no shrinking violet on abortion-related issues.
Another thing comes to mind on this. The Second Amendment says explicitly that people have the right to keep and bear arms. Isn’t it odd that she’s fine with regulating guns but she won’t tolerate the regulation of abortion?
This is just proof of what conservatives have known all along: Hillary believes in political moderation as little as Saddam Hussein believed in human rights.

Too bad for Shrillary. This is a great day for the pro-life movement. We have Senator Sam Brownback to thank for rejecting the Miers nomination and getting Justice Alito on the court.

The Supreme Court was simply upholding the law.

Upholdng the law, but also placing the court at a philosophical turning point.
This was not a pleasing day for abortion rights, nor was it any more than a tactical victory for the pro life.
So the hysteria of the pro aborts is just as overblown as any crowing from the pro life side. The court has signalled its intention to at least keep legal abortion civilized if nothing else.
