Hillary: 'The Unborn Person Doesn't Have Constitutional Rights'

April 04, 2016

Writer

Hillary Clinton broke the universal code of the abortion business recently when asked about the constitutional rights of an unborn child.

"Well, under our laws currently, that is not something that exists," Clinton said. "The --- the --- the unborn person doesn't have constitutional rights."

Struggling with an answer, Clinton unwittingly called an unborn child "a person." While that's a no-brainer for most, it's a major no-no in the abortion industry.

"If I may quote from the Planned Parenthood guidebook," Glenn said Monday on The Glenn Beck Program:

"She's not only violating all of the Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger laws, she's also wrong about the law," Glenn said. "If you're a drunk driver and you hit a car and it has a pregnant woman and she loses the baby and she dies, you've just killed two people. Not one, but two."

For some reason, we've made this mental leap that it's killing a person if you're a drunk driver, but it's just a fetus if you're a mom doing it.

"You can't have it both ways," Glenn said. "You can't have it both ways."

Enjoy this complimentary clip from The Glenn Beck Program:

Below is a rush transcript of this segment, it might contain errors:

GLENN: How do we come together as a nation, when we're so divided and we're so far apart on things like this? The answer is: Maybe we're not supposed to. Maybe on this particular issue we never will. And that's okay.

There was a time in my life when I was unfeeling, uncaring. I was selfish. I only thought about me. I only thought about my next drink. I only thought about my next buck. I didn't even think about my family.

I've changed. And I see this very clearly. What she just said is an unborn person. Person is a legal term. Person identifies someone as having constitutional rights. And she just broke the universal abortion law. You don't say those things. And if I may quote --

PAT: Right. Right.

GLENN: If I may quote from the Planned Parenthood guidebook: They discourage pro-choice advocates from using such terms as "abort a child." Instead recommending more accurate or appropriate alternatives, quoting, such as end of pregnancy or have an abortion.

Abort a child is medically inaccurate as the fetus is not yet a child, says the guide.

Terminate a pregnancy is commonly used. However, some people prefer to avoid this, as terminate has negative connotations. Terminator, or assassinate, for some people. The guidebook also advises against the terms baby, dead fetus, unborn baby, unborn child, when discussing what's about to be aborted. Instead, it recommends the term embryo, fetus, and the pregnancy. The alternatives are medically accurate terms, as the embryo or fetus is not a baby.

But the specific term "person" is a legal concept that includes rights and statuses that the law protects, including the protection of a person's life under the laws against homicide.

How is Hillary Clinton not only violating all of the rules by calling an unborn child a person --

PAT: Right.

GLENN: -- she's not only violating all of the Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger laws, she's also wrong about the law. That's why if you're a drunk driver and you hit a car and it has a pregnant woman and she loses the baby and she dies, you've just killed two people. Not one. But two.

The law does actually respect and give rights to that person in the womb. For some reason or not, we have -- we have made this mental gymnastics jump to say, "Yes, you're killing a person in a car if you're a drunk driver, but if the mom wants to do it, it's just a fetus, and it's definitely not a person." You can't have it both ways. You can't have it both ways. And this is one of those things where we were silent for too long.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: I've thought about our silence an awful lot this weekend. We were silent too long. And we cannot be silent anymore.

PAT: Yeah. And does it get anymore wrong about the Constitution not protecting unborn people? We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity. What is an unborn baby but your posterity, protected right from the very beginning of the Constitution?

GLENN: Let's just say this: My daughter, she got pregnant. And I immediately congratulated her for carrying the non-human organism that's inside her body. My wife immediately began planning a fetus shower.

(laughter)

PAT: Nice. Nice.

STU: So I have a quick legal question on this. So this is interesting. If an unborn child does not have constitutional rights, can we quarter soldiers inside the womb?

(laughter)

GLENN: I --

STU: That's their house, right? So I think we have rights to park as many soldiers as we want inside of pregnant women because they have no constitutional right and the Third Amendment doesn't apply to them.

GLENN: Okay. All right.

STU: Thoughts? Thoughts? Can we debate on this one?

GLENN: No, I think we're going to think on that one.

STU: Okay.

It's obvious. Of course, you have constitutional rights.

PAT: Of course.

STU: I mean, this idea -- you have to go into the delusional denial of saying this isn't a person to get to these arguments.

PAT: A terrorist -- they will make -- and Hillary Clinton would certainly make this case, terrorists who commit an act of terrorism on our soil or illegal aliens who are here are protected by the Constitution. Everybody within our borders, protected by the Constitution. But an unborn baby isn't?

GLENN: Yeah.

PAT: An unborn baby has zero rights? That's ludicrous.

GLENN: It's ludicrous. It's ludicrous. It is -- for instance, let's take -- when we come back, I want to take something that was said by Sarah Palin this weekend.

STU: Okay.

GLENN: Because it is -- it's very similar. It's very similar. Who do we care about? What people do we care about? The answer to abortion is love. Love the mothers. Love the children. The answer is adoption. You want to stop abortion: adopt a child. Demand that adoption is the answer. The answer always comes from love.

POLL: Was Malaysia Flight 370 taken by a WORMHOLE?

It's hard to know what's real and what's fake anymore.

With the insanity that seems to grow every day, it is becoming more and more difficult to tell what's true and what's not, what to believe, and what to reject. Anything seems possible.

That's why Glenn had Ashton Forbes on his show, to explore the fringe what most people would consider impossible. Forbes brought Glenn a fascinating but far-out theory that explains the decade-old disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 along with riveting footage that supposedly corroborates his story. Like something out of a sci-fi novel, Forbes made the startling claim that Flight 370 was TELEPORTED via a U.S. military-made wormhole! As crazy as that sounds, the video footage along with Forbes' scientific research made an interesting, if not compelling case.

But what do you think? Do you believe that the U.S. Government can create wormholes? Did they use one to abduct Flight 370? Is the government hiding futuristic tech from the rest of the world? Let us know in the poll below:

Does the military have the capability to create wormholes?

Is the U.S. military somehow responsible for what happened to Malaysia Flight 370?

Is the military in possession of technology beyond what we believe to be possible?

Do you think American military tech is ahead of the other superpowers?

Do you think there would be negative consequences if secret government technology was leaked?

5 videos that reveal the WOKE GARBAGE being taught to our kids

School today is not like it used to be...

Glenn recently covered how our medical schools have been taken over by gender-affirming, anti-racist, woke garbage, and unfortunately, it doesn't stop there. Education at all levels has been compromised by progressive ideology. From high-level university academics to grade school, American children are constantly being bombarded by the latest backward propaganda from the left. Luckily, in the age of Zoom classes and smartphones, it's harder for teachers to get away their agenda in secret. Here are five videos that show just how corrupt schools really are:

Woke teacher vandalizes pro-life display

Professor Shellyne Rodriguez, an art professor at Hunter College in New York, was caught on camera having a violent argument with a group of pro-life students who were tabling on campus. Rodriguez was later fired from her position after threatening a reporter from the New York Post, who was looking into this incident, with a machete.

Woke professor argues with student after he called police heroes

An unnamed professor from Cypress College was captured having a heated discussion with a student over Zoom. The professor verbally attacked the student, who had given a presentation on "cancel culture" and his support of law enforcement. The university later confirmed that the professor was put on leave after the incident.

Professor goes on Anti-Trump rant

Professor Olga Perez Stable Cox was filmed by a student going on an anti-Trump rant during her human-sexuality class at Orange Coast College. This rant included Professor Cox describing Trump's election as "an act of terrorism”. The student who filmed this outburst was suspended for an entire semester along with several other punishments, including a three-page apology essay to Professor Cox explaining his actions. Orange Coast College continues to defend Professor Cox, citing the student code of conduct.

Unhinged teacher caught on video going on left-wing political rant

Lehi High School teacher Leah Kinyon was filmed amid a wild, left-wing rant during a chemistry class. Kinyon made several politically charged remarks, which included encouraging students to get vaccinated and calling President Trump a "literal moron." Despite her claims that the school admins "don't give a crap" about her delusional ramblings, a statement from Lehi High School reveals that she "is no longer an employee of Alpine School District."

Far-left Berkeley law professor melts down when a Senator asks her if men can get pregnant

During a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Berkeley Law Professor Khiara M. Bridges was asked by Missouri Senator Josh Hawley to clarify earlier statements involving "people with a capacity for pregnancy." The senator's line of questioning is met with a long-winded, frantic rant accusing the senator of being transphobic. When Sen. Hawley tries to clarify further, Professor Bridges makes the outrageous claim that such a line of questioning somehow leads to trans suicides.

Woke ideology trumps medicine in America's top 5 medical schools

Progressive ideology has infected our most prestigious medical schools and is seeping into our medical system.

As Glenn covered in his latest TV special, "diversity, equity and inclusion" (DEI), and leftist rhetoric have overtaken science and medicine as the focus of medical schools across the nation. The next generation of doctors and nurses is being force-fed DEI and "anti-racist" nonsense at the expense of slipping standards. This has led to a decline in people's trust in the medical industry and for good reason. Woke ideology has already been the driving force behind at least one medical malpractice case, and more are undoubtedly on the way.

All of this is being spearheaded by universities, which have integrated DEI practices into the fabric of their programs. Our top medical schools now require students and staff to participate in mandatory DEI and "anti-racist" classes and training and are adjusting the standards to reflect this new shift in focus. Here are 5 statements from the top American medical schools that show that medicine is no longer their primary focus:

“As members of HMS, we each have a responsibility to create an inclusive community that values all individuals. Barriers to inclusion may include assumptions we make about others that guide our interactions. Recognizing our Unconscious Bias is a critical step in developing a culture of equity and inclusion within HMS and in our partnerships with other communities.”

“We openly acknowledge the role of structural forces of oppression as primary drivers of the disparate health outcomes. We believe that working to reverse the underrepresentation of historically excluded groups is critical in achieving equitable health outcomes. While this is an ongoing journey for our program, here are some of the tangible steps we have taken to achieve an inclusive culture”

Pulled from the Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons Diversity, Equity, Inclusivity, Justice, and Anti-Racism page:

"Courses are being revised to be more inclusive and informed by the key principle of race as a social construct and a social determinant of health. We are training faculty that Anti-Racism is not an add-on to a course. Anti-Racism is a pedagogy - a manner of teaching, designing courses, and measuring learning outcomes. We make sure that the classroom environment is inclusive by holding space for respectful conversation and ensuring that we address any “classroom ruptures”– a disorienting dilemma or situation when a bias or microaggression that may occur, providing real time opportunities for professional development, learning, and growth. Racist actions and remarks are never tolerated at Columbia University and will be dealt with following established protocols."

Critical theory destroys truth and justice

Editor's note: This article was originally published on TheBlaze.com.

Critical theory once stood out as the absurd progressive notion that it is. Now, its maxims are becoming an integral part of ordinary political discourse. The more you repeat a lie, the more you will believe it, and this is the very dangerous place in which we find ourselves today.

Take this critical theory maxim as an example: If we desire justice, we must sometimes champion what may appear superficially as injustice. It's a necessary evil, if you will, the necessity of “controlled injustice.”

By using truth through fabrication and controlled injustice for justice, we’ll save the republic. We’ll be acting in a noble way.

This definition of justice is defined by the “oppressed,” not the “oppressor.” It is the greatest happiness for the greatest number. To achieve this justice, however, we need to endorse acts on occasion that, while seemingly unjust, serve a higher purpose. It will ensure the stability and the unity of our republic, and this may manifest in ways that seem contradictory to our values. But these are the necessary shadows to cast light on “true justice.”

And isn’t that what we are all after, anyway?

Here’s another critical theory maxim: Sometimes we find the truth through fabrication. Our pursuit of truth sometimes requires a strategic use of falsehoods. The truth is a construct that has been shaped and tailored to promote the well-being of the collective.

We sometimes need to accept and propagate lies designed by "the system” — not the old system, but the system that we’re now using to replace the old to get more justice through injustice and more truth through fabrication.

We’re engaging in a higher form of honesty. When we fabricate, it’s for the right reason. We are reaching up to the heavens fighting for a higher sort of honesty. To fortify the truth, we occasionally must weave a tapestry of lies. Each thread, essential for the greater picture, will ultimately define our understanding and ensure our unity under this infallible wisdom.

The election is coming up. Does this maxim sound familiar? Many think it is imperative that we secure our republic through election control to maintain our republic. Sometimes, we might need to take actions that by traditional standards might be questionable.

The act of securing elections requires cheating. It's not mere deception. It is a noble act of safeguarding our way of life. We're on the verge of losing this democracy, and without deception, we will lose it.

To ensure it doesn't fall into the hands of those we know will destroy it, we may have to make a few fabrications. We're fabricating stories to be able to control or secure the republic through our elections. By using truth through fabrication and controlled injustice for justice, we'll save the republic. Therefore, we'll be acting in a noble way. Stealing an election from those who wish to harm our society is truly an act of valor and an essential measure to protect our values and ensure the continuation of our just society.

If we desire justice, we must sometimes champion what may appear superficially as injustice.

I know it's a paradox of honor through dishonor. But in this context, by embracing the dishonor, we achieve the highest form of honor, ensuring the stability and the continuation of our great republic.

Let this be heard, far and wide, as a great call to patriotic action. As we advance, let each of us, citizens of this great and honorable republic, consider these principles. Not as abstract or paradoxical but as practical guides to daily life. Embrace the necessity of controlled injustice, the utility of lies, the duty to secure our electoral process, and the honor and apparent dishonor. These are not merely strategies for survival. They are prerequisites for our prosperity.

We all have to remember that justice is what our leaders define, that truth is what our party tells us. Our republic stands strong on the values of injustice for justice, honor through dishonor, and the fabrication of truths. To deviate from this path is to jeopardize the very fabric of our society. Strength through unity; unity through strength.

We've heard this nonsense for so long. But now, this nonsense is becoming an instituted reality, and we are entering perilous times. Don't be fooled by the narratives you will hear during the march to November. Never let someone convince you that the ends justify the means, that a little bit of injustice is needed to achieve a broader, collective vision of justice, that truth sometimes requires fabricated lies and narratives. If we do, justice will cease to be justice, truth will cease to be truth, and our republic will be lost.
