Arguably, yes. Christian values demand compassion and charity. Also arguably, there's more of a demand to show compassion for the woman who is already a living person, than for an embryo which has the potential to one day possibly be born as a baby.

The idea of a person being "human" from conception is based on a lack of scientific knowledge and understanding; the majority of embryos don't live past a few days, but spontaneously "abort" themselves as unviable. The point at which a fetus could survive outside the womb is where we could speak of a "baby" and not an embryo.

The Hebrew text that is translated "Thou shalt not kill" more accurately meant "Thou shalt not murder", and given the societal background of the time it was written, actually meant "Thou shalt not murder another Jew". Jesus, as a good Jew, also would have had this understanding. He would have been shocked to find his message of "Love thy neighbor" applied to Gentile pigs. So technically, Ms Clinton is being more compassionate than the Christian standard.

I can just see the hate-mongers within the christian right stating that any woman who suffers from having an illegal abortion deserves what they get; that it would be their god's punishment for killing a baby.

And...she's right! Anyone who wants to overturn Roe is hateful, hypocritical and mean!

sometimes you have to speak to people on their own terms, even if it means within their own little bubble. she is obviously addressing christians here. it's fine.

Will anyone listen to her? She will just become another hate figure probably. Good for her though.
