Hillary Snubs Christian Group

New York Sen. Hillary Clinton claimed in January that she was interested in reaching out to conservative Christian groups in a bid to find "common ground" on contentious issues like abortion.

But when the Christian Defense Coalition tried to take Mrs. Clinton up on her offer, she blew them off, a leader of the group said Monday.

  "We are profoundly disappointed that Senator Clinton has refused to sit down and dialogue with a broad coalition of voices within the pro-life community after suggesting she wanted to reach out to us," complained CDC spokesman Rev. Patrick J. Mahoney.

"It now seems that the statements Senator Clinton made, concerning finding common ground on abortion, were politically motivated and not sincere," he added.

Rev. Mahoney says that his and other pro-life groups have been trying to secure a face-to-face meeting with the top Democrat for two months. But Clinton's office has ignored them.

Speaking on the 32nd anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, the former first lady told a pro-abortion group in Albany, N.Y., "There is an opportunity for people of good faith to find common ground in this debate."

"I, for one, respect those who believe with all their hearts and minds that there are no circumstances under which any abortion should ever be available," she added.

But Rev. Mahoney said Clinton's actions speak louder than her words.

"It now seems that the statements Senator Clinton made, concerning finding common ground on abortion, were politically motivated and not sincere," he lamented. "I think it is critical that the American public focus more on what Senator Clinton does concerning abortion, rather than her rhetoric, as we move closer to the presidential campaign season."
