Via Joel Pollak, a stumper from an event in South Carolina. What’s the politic answer to give here if you’re a modern right-thinking “kill ’em up to the moment of crowning” liberal?
Clearly the answer Beto wants to give, the one that’s consonant with left-wing thinking, is “No, your life had no meaning until you were born.” But that’s a tough thing to say to someone’s face when he’s asking about his own life specifically. The less abstract and more concrete questions about abortion get, the more uncomfortable they are.
So no, O’Rourke won’t say that. “Of course I don’t think” that life has no meaning until birth, he says.
But that places him in the awkward position of arguing that meaningful lives are in fact being snuffed out every day in America’s abortion regime. A pro-choicer who takes the hardline view that fetal life isn’t “real” needn’t contend with the implications of ending that life. Beto’s not taking that view, so he does need to. But he punts: We shouldn’t question what a woman decides to do, he insists — period. If he had been feeling bolder, he might have gone on to compare abortion to justifiable homicide.

Pro-life, abortion & election ping
Betzero looked high as a kite at this staged “rally” - he had people cheer when he said it is ok to kill your child hours or minutes before it is to be born.
What ever happened to the idea that a mother and a father took responsibly for inviting a new life into.her body?
Strangely enough, I’m challenged from time to time by Leftists who tell me that nobody wants a late term abortion.
Oh but their leaders defend that right, and the Leftists present cheer vociferously when they do.
They can’t walk away from what their group advocates for.
According to the elites who rule over us, your life has no meaning now.
And, he's done. Thanks GreyFriar.
beto to pro lifer “No, you absolutely had value... Your mother had the right to decide that you had no value”
Which is it beto? Hypocritical liar!
OF COURSE I don’t believe this but he should have said (for his nefarious purposes)
“That’s a loaded question and I believe your mother had the right to do what she wanted with her body until the moment you were born”
It would still have been dodging and horrific, but it would have been better (in his insane circles) to say than admit that the life has meaning in the womb.
Not according to this servant of Satan, and worshipper of Molech.

"So, you think its ok for my Mom to decide my life is worthless the day before I'm born, and then pretend YOU don't think it's ok?"
I wonder what Beto’s response be to an illegal alien with the same question?
