This post is a bit behind the times — I leave tomorrow for my first mission trip, so please pray that it goes well! — but as we launch into the slow August, I think it’s worth conducting a quick fact-check and highlighting two significant contradictions in two of Hillary Clinton’s latest campaign ads,

The ads

In the first ad, released last week, Clinton makes a number of allegations about the supposed affects of climate change:

And in the second, Clinton tells people to “stand and support Planned Parenthood”:

Clinton opposes “premature deaths,” except when she doesn’t

The first notable thing about these ads is their juxtaposition on death. In the first ad, Clinton encourages renewable energy to prevent “3,000 premature deaths.” Okay, fair enough, assuming this number is accurate — Clinton wants to save lives.

Yet in the Planned Parenthood ad, Clinton throws her full support behind the abortion giant, declaring that attempts to defund Planned Parenthood are “a full-on assault on women’s health.”

I suppose this is Clinton’s Cecil the Lion moment — caring about death, as long as it sticks within the the narrative. (And as Mediaite’s impressive conservative writer, Alex Griswold, has pointed out, jumping on the bandwagon of her party is pretty much the norm for Clinton.)

Scientific contradictions

In the climate change video, Clinton says that “it’s hard to believe there are people running for president who refuse to accept the settled science of climate change. Who would rather remind us they’re not scientists rather than listen to those who are.”

I suppose these more than 3,000 climate change skeptics with scientific backgrounds don’t count, then?

Speaking of science, it is this field that has proven pro-life religions correct by showing the humanity of every unborn child. But according to Clinton,“religious beliefs” that are opposed to “reproductive rights” “have to be changed.”

This all sounds quite…ideological.

Scott Walker abandoned women?

In the abortion ad, Clinton tells viewers that “Governor Walker defunded Planned Parenthood and left women across the state stranded with nowhere else to turn” when he defunded the abortion giant.

However, this is an old canard, one already shot down by PolitiFact. Indeed, the state of Wisconson has 17 approved community health centers — hardly throwing women under the bus.
