Hillary: "The Unborn Person Does Not Have Constitutional Rights"

Ben Johnson : Apr 5, 2016  LifeSiteNews.com

"Hillary's position is eerily reminiscent of what U.S. Supreme Court Justice Roger Taney said in his infamous 1857 Dred Scott ruling on slavery. He declared that blacks had 'no rights which the white man was bound to respect.'" -Bill Donohue, Catholic League.

(Washington, DC)—On Sunday, Hillary Clinton, the frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination, starkly affirmed her belief that "the unborn person does not have constitutional rights." (Screengrab: Meet the Press-NBC/via LifeSiteNews.com)

Yesterday morning, "Meet the Press" host Chuck Todd asked Clinton, "When, or if, does an unborn child have constitutional rights?"
 
She began by noting that, "under our laws currently, that is not something that exists."
 
"The unborn person doesn't have constitutional rights," she replied.
 
She said, while "that doesn't mean that we don't do everything we possibly can...[to] help a mother who is carrying a child and wants to make sure that child will be healthy," she opposed "sacrificing the woman's right to make decisions."
 
"That's an important distinction, that under Roe v. Wade we've had enshrined under our Constitution," she said.
 
"I want to maintain that constitutional protection," she added.

"Clinton revealed that she believes no unborn child is subject to constitutional rights," the GOP said in a statement on Sunday. "Voters now know Clinton's extreme stance against the value of protecting life, and can no longer be misled by her deceptive pandering."
 
Bill Donohue of the Catholic League said, "Hillary's position is eerily reminiscent of what U.S. Supreme Court Justice Roger Taney said in his infamous 1857 Dred Scott ruling on slavery. He declared that blacks had 'no rights which the white man was bound to respect.'"
 
The pro-life amici briefs in Roe v. Wade argued that the unborn child is protected by a host of constitutional rights, including the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantee that the government not "deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law." The Roe decision agreed that, if the Fourteenth Amendment applied to the unborn, the case for abortion "of course, collapses, for the fetus' right to life would then be guaranteed specifically by the Amendment." But it dismissed these concerns, as Justice Harry Blackmun said he believed abortion had been freely available prior to the amendment's adoption, proving it was not intended to protect children inside the womb. 
 
Clinton said yesterday, "I support the reasoning and the outcome in Roe v. Wade."
