The presidential candidates-pro-life and pro-abortion-are beginning to make their campaigns official.
Already pro-life Republican senators Ted Cruz (Tx.) and Rand Paul (Ky.) have announced their intentions to run. There are a great many other pro-life Republican candidates who are expected to join in the not-too-distant future.
Speaking of which, pro-abortion Hillary Clinton’s long, long tease is about to end, according to multiple sources.
Just to show how cool/hip/technosmart she is, this coming Sunday Clinton is expected to announce, via video and social media, her intention to seek the Democratic presidential nomination.
Right now the former senator from New York and Secretary of State essentially has the field to herself. But for a host of reasons-beginning with the obvious fact that she is uninspiring and clumsy on her feet when faced with even the most mildly challenging question-that could easily change.
NRL News has covered Mrs. Clinton all the way back to the 1990s when she was First Lady and architect of a disastrous health care proposal. She hews to the pro-abortion line with passion and precision. As Secretary of State, Clinton had the opportunity, which she exercised with gusto, to preach the pro-abortion gospel around the world, including speeches at the United Nations.

Let me make just two quick points about Mrs. Clinton’s candidacy, which has been expected for years. It will be fascinating to try to glean from what she does what “lessons” she learned in 2008 when she was outsmarted and outmaneuvered by a freshman United States senator from Illinois. My guess is that they will likely be almost all the wrong ones.
And to what lengths will the Establishment Media, which doesn’t particularly like Mrs. Clinton and whom Mrs. Clinton loathes, go to tell the truth about her? From our vantage point, will the public get even a sense of what an abortion True Believer Clinton is?
Last year an ultra-militant pro-abortionist pummeled Clinton for recycling the abortion should be “safe, legal and rare” mantra which she picked up from her husband, former President Bill Clinton. As I wrote in a piece we are reposting today
There is nothing in the history of either of the Clintons that suggests they ever meant a syllable (in this case) about limiting abortion. What did either do to make abortion “rare”? Nothing. Indeed, the Clintons were and are big into recognizing abortion as an “international right”—to be used as a battering ram against any and all protective abortion laws anywhere. (President Clinton endorsed the Freedom of Choice Act which would have swept aside virtually every state limitation on abortion.)
It’s only April 2015, but it’s not too early to try to help the American people grasp just what an enemy of unborn children Hillary Clinton actually is.
