TX Catholic Bishop on Hillary Clinton: 'Please Don't Listen to This Evil Woman'
In response to Hillary Clinton's comparison of limits on abortion to attacks on women's rights in Iran and Afghanistan, Catholic Bishop Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas tweeted, "Please don't listen to this evil woman."
In a Dec. 2 tweet that linked to Clinton being interviewed by fellow pro-abortion reporter Christiana Amanpour, Bishop Strickland wrote, "Please, please don’t listen to this evil woman. Her lies and immorality need to be silenced for the good of humanity."
In the Dec. 1 interview on PBS' Amanpour & Co., the former first lady commented on her view that abortion and related issues are still "unfinished business" for women in America and other countries.
"We have come a long way since I made that statement, back in 1995, on so many fronts," Clinton said. "But we are also in a period of time where there is a lot of pushback and much of the progress that has been, I think, taken for granted by too many people is under attack."
"Literally under attack," she added, "in places like Iran or Afghanistan or Ukraine, where rape is a tactic of war, or under attack by political and cultural forces in a country like our own, when it comes to women's health care and bodily autonomy."
For decades, Clinton has been a strong supporter of abortion, even through the ninth month of pregnancy.
After the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022, Clinton said, “There are so many things about it [the decision] that are deeply distressing, but women are going to die.... Women will die."
Since the 1973 ruling that legalized abortion on demand, more than 63 million children have been killed by surgical abortion in the United States, according to data from the Guttmacher Institute and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church states, "Since the first century the Church has affirmed the moral evil of every procured abortion. This teaching has not changed and remains unchangeable. Direct abortion, that is to say, abortion willed either as an end or a means, is gravely contrary to the moral law: You shall not kill the embryo by abortion and shall not cause the newborn to perish. God, the Lord of life, has entrusted to men the noble mission of safeguarding life, and men must carry it out in a manner worthy of themselves. Life must be protected with the utmost care from the moment of conception: abortion and infanticide are abominable crimes."
