Twist this - on Newt
“98.6% Lifetime Pro-Life Rating from the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC). For the 20 years that Gingrich served in Congress (1979-1999), Gingrich supported the pro-life position in 70 out of 71 votes...
Pledges to Sign Two Pro-life Executive Orders on the first day of a Gingrich Administration.”
Sure, he’s way better than Obama or the typical liberal on life, and would probably do some good in office. We are in primary season, however, and that’s a good time to make comparisons and hammer out positions as we try to field the candidate who best represents our principles in the general election.
Newt’s stand on life is not logically coherent. He can’t point to either science or philosophy to make the case that human life begins at implantation.
Also, holding exceptions is not logically consistent either. If one believes that preborn children are individuals that have human rights, how do they suddenly lose those human rights in certain circumstances? It would be like being against slavery except in cases where the slave was inherited rather than bought.
