Hillary Clinton and Mother Teresa

How are they paired together?

The national Catholic-based advocacy group Fidelis called on the Hillary Clinton for President Campaign Monday to remove an image of Blessed Mother Teresa used in a campaign video released today that is narrated by her husband, former President Bill Clinton. 

Fidelis President Joseph Cella commented, “It is wholly inappropriate, disrespectful and disturbing that Hillary Clinton is using an image of Blessed Mother Teresa as a political tool, especially given their radically different views on abortion.  Mother Teresa tirelessly fought to protect unborn children, while Hillary Clinton staunchly supports abortion on demand in all nine months of pregnancy, including partial birth abortion and taxpayer funding of abortion.  Out of respect to Mother Teresa, and the Missionaries of Charity strict guidelines for the use of Mother’s image, we call on the Hillary Clinton campaign to immediately remove her image from their campaign video.”

Hillary has the video to prove she was in India…

At approximate(ly) 2:26 into the video, the former President says, “Hillary in effect, was the face of America…in India” with a photo of Hillary waving alongside Blessed Teresa.  The video then goes directly to a clip of the former First Lady’s address at the 1995 Beijing Conference, where a push was made to declare abortion a fundamental “human right.”

Using that video in this way is jarring. But it does serve a purpose contrary to its intentions. It’s a snapshot that poignantly represents a woman’s choice.

Thanks to Monica for sending it, and Fidelis for addressing it.
