Hillary speaks out for women's rights around the world, but the conservatives only hear an attack on religion.

Starting at the 7:54 mark:

"Yes. we've nearly closed the global gender gap in primary school. But secondary school remains out of reach for so many girls around the world. Yes. we've increased the number of countries prohibiting domestic violence. But still more than half the nations in the world have no such laws on the books. And an estimated one in three women still experience violence. Yes, we’ve cut the maternal mortality rate in half, but far too many women are still denied critical access to reproductive health care and safe child birth. All the laws we’ve passed don’t count for much if they’re not enforced. Rights have to exist in practice not just paper. Laws have to be backed up with resources and political will. And deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed.”

Sounds reasonable doesn't it? 

Well that's clearly because you are a liberal heathen, because that is certainly not the takeaway from the conservatives and religious right.

This was Jeb Bush's response:  

"This week Hillary Clinton said that people's deep-seated religious beliefs need to be changed in order to advance her own personal political agenda. Wow," he wrote. "America was founded on religious freedom, and that freedom is woven into the Bill of Rights as the first guarantee. And strengthening families is an important element to helping people rise up. This shouldn't be a partisan political issue, but unfortunately for Hillary Clinton it sounds like it is."

Bill Donohue, President of the Catholic League, had this to say:  

In other words, Hillary has a problem with the Catholic Church’s teachings on abortion—they must be changed. 

Never before have we seen a presidential candidate be this bold about directly confronting the Catholic Church’s teachings on abortion. It’s time for Hillary to take the next step and tell us exactly what she plans to do about delivering on her pledge. Not only would practicing Catholics like to know, so would Evangelicals, Orthodox Jews, Muslims, and all those who value life from conception to natural death.

Then there was this from The Blaze, Glenn Beck's site:

Reading between the lines, it was obvious that Clinton took aim at Christians in America during the recent women’s summit. Implications of Clinton’s speech toward Christians couldn’t be clearer. 

It was perhaps Clinton’s attempt to hammer the final nail into America’s proverbial coffin by lessening Christians’ religious, cultural, and familial beliefs. If achieved, the result will be that God, the Bible and the U.S. Constitution which was founded upon Christian principles, will take a back seat to other progressive agendas, at least in a Clinton presidency.

And of course Brancy also felt the need to weigh in:  

Why do so many people feel the need to attack the basic freedoms of our country? Religious freedom of belief, freedom of speech – none of these seem to matter anymore, if someone simply doesn’t agree with me. If someone believes abortion is wrong because of their faith in the Bible and the value of human life – well then, their beliefs have to go. 

Do you see what’s most important to the abortion crowd? It’s not women, it’s not people, it’s not freedom. It’s this one issue of abortion that trumps everyone else’s well-being. It’s the demand of doing whatever they want to do without being inconvenienced by people who disagree with them, and have good reasons to! 

I do not want someone who’s out to change my religious beliefs, just because I disagree with her agenda, as our next President. Do you?

So from that very articulate, and expansive speech on the continued need to focus on women's rights around the world, the only thing the conservatives take away from it is that Hillary Clinton wants to close down their churches.

I get the feeling that pretty much every word Hillary says, regardless of the topic, is going to come under some attack from the Right Wing.

Does that make me paranoid, or a realist?
