Hillary’s ‘Hunger Games’: May the Odds Be Ever in Your Favor

During her Tuesday night remarks at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia actress Elizabeth Banks made a brief reference to her role in The Hunger Games series, but a far more substantive one developed over the course of the night.

Tuesday night’s theme at the convention was “Fights of Her Life,” meant to highlight the issues that Clinton has championed throughout her political career. Two sections to this theme were “kids and families” and “women and families.” What this essentially panned out to was a laundry list of child advocates shilling for the Democrat nominee followed by Planned Parenthood Action Fund CEO Cecile Richards doing the same thing.

What this equated two was an odd juxtaposition of policies that offer nine months of existential uncertainty for children, while lauding policies that direct huge amounts of public funding into programs meant to supplement and supplant the role of their parents.

Richards, whose organization made its first-ever primary endorsement for Hillary Clinton earlier this year, told the crowd that the former Secretary of State “will always stand up for the rights of every woman to access a full range of reproductive health care, including abortion, no matter her reproductive status.”

She then went on to add that Donald Trump’s statements about banning abortion, defunding her organization, and nominate pro-life judges to the Supreme Court are rooted in a “deeply disturbing worldview.”

Want and even more disturbing worldview? How about one that promises kids the world, so long as their mothers choose not to kill them.

It’s kind of like The Hunger Games, only instead of kids dying in mortal combat on state television, they die at the hands of an abortionist discreetly tucked away from the public eye.

In the dystopian world of Panem, described in the young adult fiction series by Suzanne Collins, children are pitted against each other by a totalitarian state in a massive annual fight to the death, but the surviving champions get to live out the rest of their days in state-furnished luxury.

In 2016 America, the kind of world that Clinton and Richards are pushing for (since safe, legal, and rare is apparently out the window now) is one where the state will fund a system where unborn children can be killed at any point, even up to birth, where they will then enter a statist’s paradise where — instead of eating lavish dinners off of mahogany tables — every aspect of their development is funded and scrutinized at every stage of development by an all-controlling federal government in the form of increased education budgets for state schools, more powerful teachers unions and more federal programs.

What other message could the Democrat Party possibly be sending to America’s children when Donna Brazile says that kids “have a champion” in Hillary Clinton before handing the limelight over to a woman who makes a living as the head of an organization that kills over 300,000 of them in utero every single year?

This contradiction — standing up for ostensibly pro-child policies while also calling for allowing their murder — isn’t the only parallel between a statist, pro-abortion Democrat vision and Collins’ Panem, but it’s one that the DNC has no problem putting it on national television.

To any children conceived under a Hillary Clinton presidency, may the odds be ever in your favor. (For more from the author of “Hillary’s ‘Hunger Games’: May the Odds Be Ever in Your Favor” please click HERE)
