Hillary Clinton is warning about the legality of birth control in the wake of a decision by the Alabama Supreme Court that found frozen embryos created through fertility treatments are children under state law.

“They came for abortion first. Now it’s [in vitro fertilization], and next it’ll be birth control,” the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee and secretary of State said in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

“The extreme right won’t stop trying to exert government control over our most sacred personal decisions until we codify reproductive freedom as a human right,” Clinton added.

      That’s an absurd take. Fyi I’m from the UK and don’t have any skin in the game, but blaming the opposition instead of the people who are actually causing the issues is just bizarre and kind of self destructive. Yes the DRC made mistakes, but they aren’t responsible for what the GOP have done since.

          Do you believe that she actively helped trump over herself, or that she messed up? It’s so much easier with hindsight…in essence you’re making the “the west is responsible for ww2” argument, sure they messed up with the restrictions put on Germany after WW1, but WW2 wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for a bunch of tyrants…

          So many people seem to think they have a right to the perfect candidate for them, but democracy is about the best compromise for the masses. (In reply to some of your other comments on this thread)

                Hillary Clinton helped get Trump elected. That’s enough for me to confidently call her a piece of shit. Is it for you? Or is it okay to help Trump in some situations?

                  You’ve deliberately avoided answering the question. Promoting one other candidate because you think it’s better for you is a very legitimate strategy, the fact that it backfired is another thing. You seem to be implying that she somehow intentionally screwed everyone over when her intention was clearly to win, other factors had a far greater influence (ie the meddling of other countries)

                    For the personal interests of Hillary Clinton? Absolutely. Doesn’t change the fact that she’s a piece of shit.

                    Anyway I’m not interested in answering your question. I’m just here to remind everyone Hillary Clinton is a piece of shit.

                  ok, so you didn’t understand. you misquoted the aboe poster by leaving out the “over herself” part. That is the key part of the above posters point, that Hillary did try to become president for real, but screwed it up. The above poster was asking if you really believed that Hillary never even tried to beat Trump and become president. I am pointing this out because you are essentially talking past the above posters point.

                    And I’m pointing out they’re talking past the point I made in the comment they’re responding to.

                    HRC helped Trump win the Republican primaries in 2016.

                    See how that works?
