Four Reasons Hillary Clinton Should Apologize for her Inflammatory Abortion Rhetoric

By Published on September 1, 2015

If you believe in human rights for all, including the unborn, you “don’t want to live in the modern world.” Your position is “extreme” — something we’d expect from “terrorist groups.”

That’s what Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said last week at a speech in Cleveland where she blasted “out of date, out of touch policies” on abortion. We’re going forward, she said. Not backwards.

Here are four reasons Clinton should apologize for such inflammatory rhetoric.

1. She shouldn’t label an opposing position as “extreme” just because she doesn’t agree with it.

The United States is evenly divided between so-called “pro-choice” and “pro-life” lines. Do half of Americans have “extreme” views because they believe in an unborn baby’s right to life? To call a viewpoint “extreme” is a convenient way of dismissing it out of hand without ever dealing with its substance.
