GOTCHA, HILLARY! (NO, NOT REALLY.)

[sheshe2]

At the Daily Caller, Kerry Picket has what seems to be a Hillary Clinton gotcha:

Hillary On Abortion: ‘Deep-Seated Cultural Codes, Religious Beliefs And Structural Biases Have To Be Changed’

snip

Is this an accurate reflection of what she really said?

Well, you might think so if you've only read the quote as excerpted by the Caller, or if you took the Caller's advice and watched the speech clip starting at 8:26:

But try watching it from 6:31. Here's what Clinton says, in context:

snip

She's talking about women being able to go to school and own property and live in societies where rape and beatings aren't shrugged off. She's talking about women being able to survive carrying a child to term. Undoubtedly she would include access to abortion under the heading of reproductive health care, but she explicitly includes prenatal care.

She's not saying what these people claim she's saying.

But that's how the right does it. If this gets picked up by Fox or Drudge (or both), every conservative will be certain forever that Hillary made a big speech in 2015 focusing on abortion (or maybe abortion plus euthanasia and gay marriage) and demanded that all cultures be forced to yield to them, and to hell with their cultural values.

1. Actually there is no reason to ever read anything any rightwinger or RW source says EVER

I mean this sincerely.

Never.

They never, and I mean this, tell the truth.

Unless it is a coincidence.

I wish I wasnt always right about this, but I am.
