Hillary Clinton: ‘Religious Beliefs … Have to Be Changed’ About Abortion
The woman is SICK, SICK, SICK. On top of that, “access” is an earned privilege, not a subsidized right
—
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said “deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed” to allow women access to “reproductive health care” – which was widely seen as a call to change views on abortion.
“Yes, we’ve cut the maternal mortality rate in half, but far too many women are still denied critical 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. Laws have to be backed up with resources and political will. And deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed,” Clinton said at the sixth annual Women in The World Summit in New York City.
“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,” she added in her keynote address at the event Thursday.
