Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ranted on X following the Supreme Court’s review of an Idaho law that limits abortion procedures.
During its Wednesday session, the Supreme Court evaluated the Biden administration’s requirement for Medicare-funded hospitals to perform abortions when necessary to safeguard a patient’s health in emergency scenarios.
The justices exhibited doubt over whether a federal statute’s guarantee of essential life-saving treatments extends to abortion services, when required, although the Court’s opinions were visibly divided along political and gender lines.
“The MAGA Supreme Court majority appears ready to rule that the right to ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness’ doesn’t extend to women with pregnancy complications or who otherwise need abortions,” Clinton tweeted on Wednesday afternoon. “This is horrifying, and it is because of Donald Trump.”

In a follow up post, Clinton criticized an Arizona Supreme Court decree enforcing a 160-year-old abortion law by sharing an image labeled Arizona’s time zone as “1864.”
“We won’t allow our daughters and granddaughters to grow up with fewer rights than we had,” Clinton remarked.
The Arizona House passed legislation that would repeal the state’s 1864 near-total abortion ban on Wednesday, when Republican state Reps. Matt Gress, Tim Dunn, and Justin Wilmeth joined Democrats to pass the third repeal attempt in weeks.
The Supreme Court case targets an Idaho law that strictly prohibits abortion except in instances where the woman’s life is at risk. The Biden administration has argued that it contradicts the federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA).

Democratic Sen. Melissa Wintrow, the state Senate minority leader is skeptical that the the Supreme Court will uphold the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) directives.
“The Supreme Court has let me down before,” Wintrow shared. “My stomach is queasy about what’s going to happen.”
Wintrow noted that Idaho’s legislation impacts a very tiny and vulnerable demographic.
“We’re talking about the smallest number of emergencies,” Wintrow explained. “The state of Idaho is using tax dollars to fight against a federal law that protects you in a crisis.”
Hillary lost her mind when she lost the election in 2016. I think then she realized that people just didn’t like or trust her.
She thought that she was universally loved and adored, so she thought she was entitled to get the presidency. Still today, she can’t accept that defeat.
Like the Beatles song; she’s a “Nowhere Man”.
Woman also have the right to keep their legs crossed. Abortion is not birth control, it is murder!
Yep, these are facts. For Christians at least, there is a consistent moral code in both the scriptures and church tradition about this issue.
We know how Jesus felt about children: “See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.
“What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off. In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.” (Jesus, in Matthew 18:10-14)
Murder of persons is sin (one of the Big Ten), and Scripture clearly regards babes in the womb as persons already known to God as unique and valued individuals. Please check these passages out— Jeremiah 1:4-5, Psalm 139:15-16, Luke 1:41, Gen. 25:22.
And if you need a clearer word about abortion per se, we have one of the very earliest Christian writings, “The Didache, or Teachings of the 12 Apostles,” ca. 90 AD (likely before the death of the Apostle John). Chapter Two: “And this is the second commandment of the teaching: you shall not kill; … you shall not procure an abortion, nor practice infanticide…”
This should be more than sufficient information from both Scripture and early Church tradition for anyone who truly wants to know right from wrong regarding abortion.
Murder is murder
