Your Opinion: Chelsea Clinton’s abortion views

Dear Editor:

Chelsea Clinton recently engaged in the usual Clinton duplicitous and deceitful speech when she addressed the subject of abortion during a recent broadcast. During the interview she stated she was deeply religious and a moment later stated it’s un-Christian to end legalized abortion. Prefacing the religious category remarks she essentially stated it would be unconscionable to her if we go back pre-Roe v. Wade.

Deeply religious, about what or whom? Hitler was deeply religious except he was a pantheist who believed nature was God. Deeply religious has no meaning without specifics and Chelsea, a Clinton, left out a lot of specifics.

Chelsea’s belief that it is un-Christian to end legalized abortion is basically blasphemy. Does Chelsea actually believe Christ advocates abortion? Does she even believe in Christ and if so what kind of attributes did she invent for Christ in her demented mind? She epitomizes the phrase “banality of evil” with her calm demeaner mentally replacing mass murder of the innocent with the legal removal of an inconvenient growth.

Chelsea’s use of the word unconscionable is totally at odds with the definition for conscience: “The inner sense of what is right or wrong in one’s conduct or motives, impelling one toward right action.” Her definitions for right and wrong are the perfect example of the cognitive dissonance in her mind.

Chelsea’s belief that millions of women died from botched abortions before legalized abortion also lacks specifics such as time frame and source of her numbers. She also just ignores the science that human beings are created at conception. Even with some birth defects the end result is a human being not newt or frog. The concept of assigning human souls to the human corporeal existence is not needed for the sake of this argument. Human beings exist at the moment of conception and willful termination thereof is murder. Since Roe v. Wade, tens of millions of innocent human beings have been murdered because of a judicial decree defining murder to basically removing a polyp.

Government should not regulate copulation; however, the sexual revolution has resulted in one third of the American population infected with STDs. Sterility, death and disease of human adults is not desirable, but citizens should be held accountable for their behaviors that produce consequences that cost society to treat illnesses and especially preventing termination of the life created as the result of their copulation.
