Another Day, Another Dogma: The Ever-Changing Values of Hillary Clinton

Don't blink. Whatever you do, don't blink. Not if you don't want to miss one single step on Hillary's path to give voters as much conflicting/confusing information as possible before 2008 gets here.

After comments earlier this year that seemed to be an attempt to moderate how voters perceived her on the abortion issue, Hillary has once again shuffled to the left. You can read all about her latest "maneuver" here.

Her fears, in the event that Roe v. Wade were overturned, include:

"There would be many places in the country that would criminalize [abortion]...They might even send women and doctors to prison."

Hillary says that there would be "many places" that would make abortion a crime. If, as liberal pro-choice advocates would have us believe, most Americans are on their side, how could there be "many places" that might actually throw people in jail for snuffing out innocent life with premeditation?

and...

"It would go in the direction that I saw in my travels, where, you know, in China they mandated you could only have one child. And in some places, like Romania during the Communist era, they mandated that you must have five children."

Hmmmmmm. China: Communist. "Romania during the Communist era..." I'm sensing a theme here. The last time I checked, America is not a Communist nation, and the only people who want it to be one certainly don't sit on my side of the fence on this issue.

and...

"If privacy in the most intimate areas of your lives doesn't exist, what do the other constitutional rights mean?"

Did she actually use "privacy in the most intimate areas of your lives" as a euphemism for killing an unborn child?!? For starters, the "other constitutional rights" mean that you can freely make ridiculous, jackass statements like that one. And that I can go to my polling place and freely vote (or NOT vote) for a candidate who makes ridiculous, jackass statements like that one. Those "other constitutional rights" also mean that I am empowered by the laws of the land to rise up with my fellow Americans to overthrow any Communists who (God forbid) might make it into power.

It's hard to imagine, but then so is someone whose moral fiber is so weak that their "core values" are determined by the sliding scale of poll numbers and flavor-of-the-week media reports.
