Are American liberties safe in Hillary Clinton’s hands?

Last April, Hillary Clinton declared that “deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed” in order to make way for reproductive health care and safe childbirth. This was said at the Sixth Annual Women in the World Summit.

Also, informed persons know that the Supreme Court appointments are paramount.

Donald Trump has listed 11 potential unbiased nominees. Hillary’s appointments are an uncertainty. The Second Amendment, public bathroom policies and prayer in public places will likely be settled by the Supreme Court with the next president’s appointees.

I love our Constitution and I love the freedom of our religious beliefs. Am I understanding that Hillary Clinton is planning to change these liberties?

A concerned citizen for our future.
