Catholic bishop blasts ‘evil woman’ Hillary Clinton for comparing pro-lifers to Taliban, Russian war crimes

Clinton referenced rapes committed during overseas wars while speaking about abortion access in US

A Catholic bishop in Texas slammed former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Twitter over a comment she made appearing to compare the abortion debate in the United States to rapes committed by soldiers in Russia’s war with Ukraine and Taliban rule.

“Please, please don’t listen to this evil woman,” Bishop Joseph Strickland of the Diocese of Tyler, Texas, tweeted on Friday. “Her lies and immorality need to be silenced for the good of humanity.”

Strickland’s post was accompanied by an article highlighting comments made by the former Democratic presidential candidate at the Clinton Presidential Center’s summit on women’s rights, where she was asked by interviewer Christiane Amanpour about a past statement she made that women’s rights were “unfinished business.”

“We have come a long way since I made that statement, back in 1995, on so many fronts,” Clinton responded. “But we are also in a period of time where there is a lot of pushback and much of the progress that has been, I think, taken for granted by too many people is under attack.”
