Senator Rubio is on the firmest possible scientific ground when he says that science shows that the child in the womb, from the very point of successful fertilization, is indeed a human being.

Senator Marco Rubio is right. The life of a human being begins at conception—not at implantation, “viability,” or birth. This is a scientific fact.

It is not, as CNN journalist Chris Cuomo ignorantly insisted in a televised confrontation with Rubio, a claim of “faith” with no scientific basis. To our surprise, however, the distinguished bioethicist Arthur Caplan has intervened to try to rescue Mr. Cuomo in a fight he is losing and losing badly. According to Professor Caplan, Senator Rubio has the science wrong. But he doesn’t. And Professor Caplan fails to show that he does.

Marco Rineo is a very confused individual..

Sometimes says he’s for Babies, sometimes he’s for the Ones that want to KILL your Babies..

Unless; he knows what he is doing.. and is an evil son of a bitch..

It doesn’t matter to the communists empire we are living under. Killing babies is just a way of their immoral life.

Why is it that if we ever ever find a one celled amoeba on another planet it will be called life, but a baby’s life from one cell up to 2 years is disputed?

Babies can’t be naturally conceived by homosexuals Marco.

He may believe that life begins at conception, but Rubio agrees with the homo agenda.

Obviously a new individual comes into existence at the moment of conception. It is obviously a human and not a fish or a horse. Raging manhating feminazis call it a mass of tissue so they won’t have to admit the truth.

CNN seems to think he's unelectable because of his pro-life stance.

I'm a Cruz guy, but Rubio does have a lifetime ACU rating of 98%

I think Rubio is too inexperienced to be running for president. Too unsure of himself and still finding his way. Could be a problem with his handlers, too. He is not being coached well. Cruz, on the other hand, is a rock.
