I believe life begins at conception, which means I am smarter than most people think, but makes me a confessed amoral baby killer.

Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr., the Democratic nominee for vice president, departed Sunday from party doctrine on abortion rights, declaring that as a Catholic, he believes life begins at conception.
While Mr. Biden’s views may not be new to Democrats in his circle, his comments, in an interview on “Meet the Press” on NBC, came at a time when his party is confronted with a new face: Gov. Sarah Palin, the Republican vice-presidential nominee, whose anti-abortion stance and decision to give birth just five months ago to a baby with Down syndrome have revved up the conservative base of her party.
In the interview Sunday, Mr. Biden tried to walk the line between the staunch abortion-rights advocates in his party and his own religious beliefs. While he said he did not often talk about his faith, he said of those who disagree with him: “They believe in their faith and they believe in human life, and they have differing views as to when life — I’m prepared as a matter of faith to accept that life begins at the moment of conception.”

I believe life begins at conception, which means I am smarter than most people think, but makes me a confessed amoral baby killer.
When did Joe first express publicly this belief? Methinks it was rare, if ever.
Back on their heels since Hurricane Sarah swept into town.
Missed follw up opportunity: Senator, if life begins at conception then isn’t abortion by definition...murder ?
It would have been amusing to watch Biden try to twist his way out of that one but alas, the question went unasked.
So even though you believe its a human life, you still won’t stop people from killing them. Sick Sick Sick
“I believe life begins at conception...but so what?”
While his voting record does not reflect this I am forced to say “good for Biden”.
I don’t know the context and it raises a whole host of questions but at least he told the truth.
Obama: “If they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.”
This public admission probably makes him guiltier than Obama because he readily tells the truth and then votes to kill lives, human beings, babies.
Bravo Mr. Biden, for stating the Truth. Now correct your mistakes the best you can by being an advocate for the unborn. Until then, you are still in mortal sin and leading others to damnation.

Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment
Obama: “If they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.”
Caught between his bishops and Sarah Palin is not a comfortable place to be.
wait til dailykos and DU blow themselves up again!
Joe Biden is proof that sometimes the brain doesn't begin thinking even 60 years AFTER conception.
yes, we should give credit to the democrats for having a pro-life majority leader (Harry Reid) and VP
This has been around for a long time. I know I saw it before Palin.
So he's above Obama's pay grade too?
Obambi will be calling Hillary after Joe has a hair plug infection.
