Former first daughter Chelsea Clinton said that overturning Roe V. Wade would be “unchristian” and that doing so is totally unthinkable in a SiriusXM interviews Thursday.

“We can’t go back to that [pre-Roe V. Wade]. That’s unconscionable to me,” Clinton said.
“As a deeply religious person, it’s also unchristian to me,” she continued.
Clinton added that she’s recently been compared to slave-owners and Nazis, and that she expects her comments will be met with hate by many.

WATCH:
Clinton then compared herself to justices on the U.S. Supreme Court, in her efforts to secure abortion access for women. “I’ve had the temerity to, as the Supreme Court did in 1992 in Planned Parenthood V. Casey, to point out that our ability to participate fully in our society, including economically, hinges on our ability to be able to make choices for our bodies,” Clinton said.
The court affirmed in Planned Parenthood V. Casey that women have a right to abort before the fetus can live outside of the womb, but rejected Roe V. Wade’s trimester framework. The ruling determined that states can implement their own restrictions on abortion based on flexible medical definitions of viability.
“Optimism is a moral choice,” Clinton also said in explanation of how she stays positive during a time of uncertainty concerning the prospective status of Roe V. Wade.
Clinton also claimed at a pro-choice event in August that legalizing abortion wasn’t disconnected from the fact that the U.S. economy improved by trillions of dollars since Roe V. Wade. “It is not a disconnected fact … that American women entering the labor force from 1973 to 2009 added three and a half trillion dollars to our economy … that is not disconnected from the fact that Roe became the law of the land in January of 1973.”

.@ChelseaClinton, daughter of former President @BillClinton & @HillaryClinton, claims that legalizing abortion added trillions of dollars to the economy. What a lie. Hitler probably also claimed that killing the Jews would be good for their economy. 1/3 https://t.co/q381oYx7nP

Clinton also congratulated Planned Parenthood’s new president Leana Wen in a Wednesday tweet.
We’re facing the biggest fight for reproductive health care in my lifetime. Thrilled @PPFA has selected @DrLeanaWen, a physician and powerful defender of health care access, quality and equity, to help lead us in this fight. #IStandWithPP https://t.co/mbOUHyv1Zz

The gradparents to the Clinton’s should have had an abortion.
CORRUPT, UGLY, IMMORAL AND IGNORANT IS NO WAY TO GO THROUGH LIFE, BUT SHE’S ASSUMING THE FAMILY MANTLE…
She still defends Willie as if he’s her real father. He’s not.
I know we are not supposed to judge others but to me Chelsea is about as pious as the cow patties across the road from me. She totally disregards God’s Word, the Bible, or she twists it until it no longer looks or sound like God’s Word.
Christian? That’s a laugh! My bible says “Thou shalt not kill.”
She is free to abort her infants, so why is she so intent on making the rest of us adhere, to her belief, that killing our unborn children, is God’s way? Isn’t it enough that she can kill her own children? Why must we kill ours in order to make her feel better? Chelsea should feel thankful she was not aborted instead of fighting to be aborted.
She is a Christian just as much a her daddy is faithful to his wife. Two POS and they smell up a room. Too bad she was not aborted but they killed her real father to keep him quiet. Bill’s only real child is from a black girl he raped.
Agree separation of church and state, no tax dollars for abortions. BUT! give every American citizen $5000.00 to be permanently sterilized and we pay for the operation; will pay for itself in 9 months.
Progressive = kill off the very old and young, look it up.
THE TREE WON’T FALL FAR FROM “THIS NUT”
I sure would like to have this moron to explain how this would be unchristian………………
Dead babies contribute nothing to the economy. Over 60 million people have been murdered. All those people would have contributed to our economy and so much more to our society. Every life is a gift from the God she claims to follow. Not only is Chelsea a hypocrite (she was born alive), she has no understanding of economics.
Too bad HRC didn’t choose that option!!!
What does that old saying about the road to hell say?
The road to hell is paved with political offspring who constantly put their own foot in their own mouths?
I am not against all abortion, but in the last years of Obama’s rule by fiat tyranny, I was forced to rethink my opnion as the term for abortion became late term. I believe and still do we were on tack to post birth retroactive “abortions” next would be lifting or minimizing mothers committing infanticide. Liberalism has stopped being liberalism when its only point is to push the envelope and that’s the sort of ideology the DNC socialist union democrats peddle like so much fentanyl laced pot.
Mathew 7:16 And she does not even pass the smell test.
Galatians 6:7 King James Version (KJV)
7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Brain Dead!!
What everyone is not asking is whether government should be funding abortion. Is it constitutionally legal for US or state governments to use tax payer funds to pay for an operation that is antithetical to many religions? That WILL be considered if brought to SCOTUS by religious groups,
Why do people pay attention to her? I understand the liberal media fawning over every word, but any media that is even a tad conservative.
Any statement that comes out of the mouth of a Clinton mus’ be de’ troot !
Benghazi Killery…”What difference does it make “?
Slick Willie Clinton…”I DID NOT HAVE SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH THAT
WOMAN “!!!
For a Clinton to recognize us as deplorables sort of makes me proud !!!
The real tragedy is with Hildebeast not having enough information on abortion.
I need to make sure I understand this imbecile correctly. According to this Clinton spawn it is Unchristian not to kill a baby. Is that what she really said????? My “Christian” Bible says, “Woe to you who harm even the littlest of these. It would be better for you to tie a millstone around your neck and throw yourself into the sea” Doesn’t sound much like God agrees with her style of Christianity. It is the “Devil, who comes to Kill, and steal, and destroy” , not God. This is a pure example of a “twisted sister”. And if she is so sure people are going to come against what she spews forth, why is she dumb enough to keep saying these things.
Pray for her!
Rather, as Christians, send her insulting and hateful remarks, I hope you will join me in praying for this youn g woman. Were most of those writing angry responses I must say, would you have to go through, live with two parents like she has, you would not, I think, come out as well as she has. Most know her Dad will not take a up to date DNA test to prove she is really his daughter. Most who have known them for years doubt it. Then live with two people, her mother a Methodist Christian in membership and her father belonging to a faith to which like the Mother, has little or no influence on their honesty, life style. Think! She belongs to one of the most corrupt Foundations in the history of this country and is now an Officer. She has to know her parents lie as called upon any occasion to further their political goals. Let’s all just pray for her, understand what she has had to live with and adjust to, as well as do unto others as we would have them do to us. She has a long life ahead and one day may be in a position to spend some of the hundreds of millions remaining in the foundation, for they do not use it very often and even to make gifts legal have two foundations and one gives to the other so they still have control of the fortune made by selling our Uranium, etc. Please, just pause. Think! Then Pray! Anyone who would say murder is Christian and not to continue to murder is UN-CHRISTIAN…needs a lot of love, understanding and a very gifted Psychiatrist.
FUGLY Chelsea should have been aborted!
Chill Chelsea, it’s not likely to come before the Supreme Court in your lifetime.
Again the proof is out of the mouth of the child…..The nut doesn’t fall far from the tree….
But Jesus said, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.” Abortion does not allow that. Been reading the parents bible again?
Since when is killing and mutilating a baby a Christian thing to do?
I dumped Sirius, which is delirious, as soon as the freebie in my car expired; listened to three channels and paid for 24XXX channels I didn’t, nor wouldn’t watch. Sirius is scumbious. (Is that a word?)
I just cancelled Sirius in all 3 vehicles. Why pay for the scum.
I question what Christian religion she is following, since the mainstream Christian faiths are against abortion for the most part, some more so than others. Rather a warped view of Christianity, but what do you expect from a Clinton (they have different views on what constitutes sexual intercourse).
What Christian religion was this Oxford graduate referring to?
The Lord Jesus Christ began his incarnation as an embryo, growing into a fetus, infant, child, teenager, and adult: “While they were there, the time came for the baby to born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son” (Luke 2:6-7, NIV).
“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live” (Deuteronomy 30:19, KJV)
Although I’m an Agnostic I do recognize someone who conveniently distorts a religion’s beliefs for their own political purposes. How can she be a Christian and ignore what the Christian religion teaches.
Poor Chelsea, what can you expect from a child of Hill and Bill? She suffers from “foot in mouth” and “what is the truth” disease! Poor child never had a chance!!!
What more could we expect from her? She’s a bastard, spoiled, a Clinton (need I say more on that?), and she was raised by her mom and that man who was potus who are two of the most unmoral human beings to ever live. So while I am disgusted by what she said and thinks, the ancient saying, “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree” seems to apply here.
What Clinton stated was her opinion and not the opinion of most and it goes beyond common sense to think that killing unborn babies, I believe she is looking for some sort of spotlight as she makes no sense whatsoever but once a Clinton always a Clinton, poor little bastard.
Based on what Chelsea said her morality, like many peoples, is based on what she thinks, feels and finds unconscionable to her. In other words, she has made a god in her own image. It’s not what is right in wrong in our Creator’s Word that is important, but whatever she thinks. She has made herself the final moral arbitrator and her own god.
If she really was as religious as she says she was, then she should know what she just said was ridiculous. She should really just be quiet,stay away from politics, and just live a quiet life off her parents stolen millions.
