David Ng of Breitbart News opened his latest report about twice-failed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton with a brilliant line, saying that she, much like “The Handmaid’s Tale” abortion metaphor, is “old, worn out, and seems to never, ever go away.” I mean, that’s amazing, right? And it’s so true, too. Despite the fact people have made it clear they are over the Clintons, especially Hillary, she continues to pop up like an outbreak of herpes, to try and grasp cultural relevance whenever possible.
Which is exactly what she did when speaking at the Telluride Film Festival in the state of Colorado over the weekend, once again using “The Handmaid’s Tale” to push for legalized baby murder while promoting a new pro-abortion documentary called “Zurawski v Texas,” which she produced. The subject of the film is a group of women who filed a lawsuit in Texas last year over its abortion laws.
At the screening, Hillary exhorted the sympathetic audience to “get back to a time when your government is not determining what your choices for your family would be, which is just so Handmaid’s Tale.”

“I don’t think we can underestimate how important this film is in order to break through the eye-rolling, the denial, the dismissiveness, the cruelty that has affected so many women’s lives in our country today,” Clinton went on to state at a post-screening Q&A, according to a report from The Hollywood Reporter.
When she was asked whether or not she was surprised by the Dobb ruling, Clinton answered, “No, I was not. I had watched in a very concerned way, the steady, relentless attack on women’s reproductive health, and in particular on Roe v. Wade for years, and often said that if we’re not careful, there will be a Supreme Court that is literally designed to reverse Roe v. Wade…. It was terribly distressing and disappointing but not surprising.”
Clinton was one of the main producers on the documentary, having completed the film through her own production company, HiddenLight, which was co-founded with her daughter Chelsea.
Zurawski v Texas follows a group of women who sue the state following the Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade. As Breitbart News reported, one of the women was Amanda Zurawski — whose story was used by the Biden reelection campaign.
“Abortion has become a cornerstone of Kamala Harris’ campaign. Along with LGBTQ and identity politics, abortion remains on the few issues on which Kamala’s position has been clear and consistent, having consistently attacked and even prosecuted pro-lifers,” Breitbart’s report concluded.
