Clinton Discovers Government Inaction Kills, Months Too Late
When Hillary Clinton declares that abortion bans have killed another woman in Texas, it’s a grim summation of policy gone wrong. But let's pause. While a Texas case makes headlines, where is the same outrage – or even a consistent policy push – for, say, Palestinian women dying under blockade, or lack of medical care in besieged territories? Just last year, the Biden administration—which Clinton
vocally supports—approved billions in unconditional aid to Israel. According to OpenSecrets, Clinton herself benefited from over $140,000 in pro-Israel PAC donations throughout her career, and her policy positions have consistently aligned with such interests. It seems that for some, the sanctity of life (or lack thereof) is a matter of convenient geography and strategic political capital. One
might wonder if the outcry would be as loud, or the policy condemnation as swift, if the deaths in question didn’t align with a neat electoral talking point. How many lives abroad could have been saved if similar legislative energy and political pressure were applied there, instead of funneling tax dollars into military expenditures? A question perhaps best left rhetorical.
