Hillary: Religious beliefs have to go

Loading

NEW YORK — Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton took a feminist tone on Thursday. She told attendees at the sixth annual Women in The World Summit that “deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed” for the sake of giving women access to “reproductive health care and safe childbirth.”

“Far too many women are denied access to reproductive health care and safe childbirth, and laws don’t count for much if they’re not enforced. Rights have to exist in practice — not just on paper,” Clinton said.

“Laws have to be backed up with resources and political will,” she explained. “And deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed. As I have said and as I believe, the advancement of the full participation of women and girls in every aspect of their societies is the great unfinished business of the 21st century and not just for women but for everyone — and not just in far away countries but right here in the United States.”

By God, I think she’s got it. Best murder racket in town. Dismembering human beings legally. I hope she is successful in getting our planned parenthood butchers to save the dead babies for inclusion as part of the demorat party’s Soylent Green initiative. 100% reutilization is the name of their game.

religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed.

The Hildabeast intends to violate the sacred and proper “separation between church and state” (as originally held by the founders in the Federalist and Anti-federalist papers,) by dictating what will be the accepted religious dogma.

Jindal: Religious Beliefs Between Us and God, Not Us and Hillary

“That’s crazy talk. This is why the fight for religious freedom is so important. Our religious beliefs are between us and God, not us and Hillary Clinton.”

“Hillary Clinton and The Left want to socially engineer everyone to adhere to their leftwing ideology even if it’s in violation of a person’s sincerely held religious convictions,” he added.

NYT Writer: Christians ‘Must Be Made’ to Embrace Gay Lifestyle

Op-ed writer Frank Bruni, onetime Times restaurant critic and a gay activist, has written that Christians who hold on to “ossified,” biblically-based beliefs regarding sexual morality have no place at America’s table and are deserving of no particular regard.

In one fell swoop, Bruni trashes all believing Christians as “bigots,” saying that Christians’ negative moral assessment of homosexual relations is “a choice” that “prioritizes scattered passages of ancient texts over all that has been learned since — as if time had stood still, as if the advances of science and knowledge meant nothing.”

In other words, if you still cling to your benighted views and your “ancient texts,” you are living in the past and your views merit no respect.

Bruni’s solution to the impasse is not some sort of goodwill compromise or a treaty of mutual respect, but a take-no-prisoners ultimatum to Christians to abandon their beliefs or else. When Bruni says that Christians’ understanding of sexual morality is “a choice,” what he means is that there is a way out without completely losing face: just embrace the new morality preached by mainstream liberal churches that see nothing wrong with any sexual arrangement you are comfortable with. Then we will accept you.

America has a grand tradition of tolerance and religious freedom, respect for a diversity of beliefs, and an honest engagement with ideas of all sorts. It seems that some would like to force all Americans to walk in lockstep, marching to the same drummer.

Sincere Christians have no problem accepting other people with all their sins, inclinations, and struggles, fully understanding that they are in no way superior to the next guy and no better in God’s eyes.

But attempts to force them to abandon their ethical standards and their principles reveal not open-mindedness or fairness, but intolerance, chauvinism, and hate.

These are the attitudes that have no place in America.

Exclusive–Bobby Jindal on Religious Liberty: ‘Extreme Left’ Becoming More Secular, Radical; ‘We Need to Fight Back’

You may remember I gave a speech at the Reagan library last year defining the assault on religious liberty, and making very, very clear that America did not create religious liberty. Religious liberty created America. What’s really at stake here if you cut through all the liberal media and all the distractions and what the left is trying to say, we need to really understand that the government should never step in to tell Christians they have to choose between making a living and their Christian values. That’s really what’s at stake here in Indiana, Arkansas and across the country. But the Founding Fathers knew firsthand about government choking religious liberty. This is not a new conflict. They knew what they were doing. This is not just some things that have changed recently. It’s why a fundamental part of the Bill of Rights in our Constitution codifies that the government is protecting—not creating—our God-given rights including religious liberty rights. Without those religious liberty rights, there’s no freedom of speech and no freedom of association as well.”

And it was the “radical conservative” Chuck Schumer who actually proposed this and voted for this in Congress. There used to be a bipartisan consensus that the reality is in America we believe in tolerance and in diversity and that includes the right of folks to live out their religious beliefs. I think a couple things have changed. There was bipartisan support. Conservatives stood up and voted for this bill when it was about other religious minorities but what the left does not want to admit is there is one group they continue to allow discrimination against and that is of Evangelical Christians. They say they are for tolerance and respect and diversity—and they are, unless you happen to disagree with them. I think the left has been captured by the radical left and now when Secretary [Hillary] Clinton—Bill Clinton’s wife—when she talks about freedom of religious express, she’s not talking about religious liberty. She’s saying for an hour a week you can do whatever you want in your church or synagogue. That’s not the same thing as living your life according to your sincerely held beliefs 24 hours a day, seven days a week. I think the left has gotten themselves captured by their extreme base. The reality is they want this country to become more secular. They want to remove God from the public square. They want an America that our founding Fathers wouldn’t recognize, that our parents wouldn’t recognize, that you and I wouldn’t recognize. They want an America where faith is silenced, privatized and circumscribed. This is a country where we are a land sustained by faith but they want to change America into something we’ve never been before.”
