Clintons' Daughter Chelsea Says She Left the Baptist Church at Age 6 Because it Was Against Abortion

It turns out even Chelsea, the daughter of Bill and Hillary Clinton, is a die-hard supporter of abortion rights even when she was still a child, which she demonstrated when she decided to leave her pro-life Baptist church.

In an article that appeared on the celebrity news site Page Six, Chelsea revealed that when she was only six years old, she made a personal decision to leave the Southern Baptist Convention because her Sunday School teacher taught her that abortion is a sin.

"I was raised in a Methodist church, and I left the Baptist church before my dad did, because I didn't know why they were talking to me about abortion when I was six in Sunday school," she said.

Chelsea also talked about her family's Christian faith, and admitted that she finds it "insulting" every time people question it. Hillary was raised as a Methodist while Bill attended the Baptist Church, and Chelsea's husband is Jewish. Despite these differences, Chelsea maintained that their love for God is all the same.

"I find it quite insulting sometimes when people say to my mom, my dad or me...that they question our faith," she said.

"My mother is very deeply a person of faith," Chelsea continued. "It is deeply authentic and real for my mother, and it guides so much of her moral compass, [and] also her life's work."

Many evangelicals have expressed doubts that the Clintons truly love God since they support abortion, which the evangelicals equate to the murder of unborn babies.

However, Chelsea said people of faith hold differing views on various topics, including abortion and homosexual relationships.

"I recognized that there were many expressions of faith that I don't agree with and feel [are] quite antithetical to how I read the Bible," Chelsea said. "But I find it really challenging when people who are self-professed liberals kind of look askance at my family's history."
