From the very first moments of the final presidential debate, the choice on life could not have been clearer. Hillary Clinton budged not an inch — not a single baby — from her extreme stance on abortion, and Donald Trump stood firm on his pro-life commitments. The contrast was dramatic.
For the first time, thanks to the persistence of moderator Chris Wallace (whose father Mike, years ago, memorably interviewed an aging and bitter Margaret Sanger), Hillary Clinton was pressed on her position that there is not one circumstance in which she would protect the human right to life of an unborn child — even a child moments from birth. In fact, Clinton went so far as to defend her support for the barbaric and now nationally banned partial birth abortion procedure. Trump responded by drawing the logical conclusion from Clinton’s assertion that the child, as Wallace accurately put it, “has no constitutional rights.” “If you go with what Hillary is saying,” Trump remarked, “in the ninth month, you can take the baby and rip the baby out of the womb of the mother just prior to the birth of the baby.”
