Gingrich Reaffirms His Belief in the Sanctity of all Human Life, Born and Unborn
Atlanta, GA - (12/3) – In advance of this evenings forum hosted by Mike Huckabee, Newt 2012 released the following statement today from Newt Gingrich regarding his belief in the sanctity of all human life, born and unborn.
“As I have stated many times throughout the course of my public life, I believe that human life begins at conception. I believe that every unborn life is precious, no matter how conceived. I also believe that we should work for the day when there will be no abortions for any reason, and that every unborn child will be welcomed into life and protected by law.
“That is why I have supported, and will continue to support, pro-life legislation that not only limits, but also reduces, the total number of abortions, with a view to the eventual legal protection of all unborn human life.
“As I have also stated in the past, on day one of my administration, I will sign an executive order reinstating Ronald Reagan’s Mexico City policy that prevents taxpayer dollars from being used to fund abortions overseas. I will also work with Congress to repeal Obamacare, defund Planned Parenthood so that no taxpayer dollars are being used to fund abortions but rather transfer the money so it is used to promote adoption and other pro-family policies, and to enact legislation that provides greater protections for the unborn.
“In terms of new pro-life legislation, I stated as recently as November 19 at a public form of candidates in Iowa that I support Congress enacting pro-life legislation under the 14th Amendment, including legislation that would define personhood as beginning at conception.
“As I have also made clear in several of my public pronouncements throughout this campaign, I oppose federal funding of any research that destroys a human embryo because we are also dealing here with human life.
“My convictions on human life are longstanding, deeply felt, and irrevocable matters of conscience. I will do all in my power – always – to foster reverence for life.”
Gingrich has converted to Roman Catholicism several years ago.
Good enough for me.
I won’t even consider a candidate who can’t stand up and agree with this statement.
>> Newt: “I believe that human life begins at conception.”
Hard to imagine at what point thereafter life is injected.
I hope he really means this.
Newt is as big a flip flopper as that other guy.
Didn’t he just say it didn’t?
interesting, this. He just said something different in the last few days.
He’s trying to steal Romney’s title as a world champion “Cover the Road” politico.
Besides, all this campaign rhetoric doesn’t line up with his actions any how.
He promised the Susan B. Anthony List that, given the chance, he would sign immoral, unconstitutional “fetal pain” legislation. The polar opposite of a personhood, Fourteenth Amendment position.
And he supports pro-abort politicians like Scozzafava, and many others.
Given the choice between believing their words and believing their actions, I will go with the latter every single time.
Gingrich is a big phony. Big news, right?
O.K. I realize I am wading into some deep water here, but I really want to understand.
Gingrich says he is pro-life. He may have come to his beliefs thru age or religion. What revelence is it to “where life begins?” If one is pro-life, one is pro-life. Unlike our current rESIDENT who believes nobody should be punished with a baby and believes in late term abortion.
He has already said that he thinks embyronic stem cell research can be accomplished in other ways..i.e. umbilical cord.
Many years ago, the Catholic church believed that the mother should be sacrificed for the child. And if both died, so be it.
So if an ectopic pregnancy presents..what is the answer?
And before you answer, consider that the mother may be your wife or mother. And that ectopic child is a human life.
Newt’s an intelligent individual. As a Catholic he knew that his previous statement ran counter to Catholic moral teaching. This new statement while correct certainly gives me a moment of deep pause. We don’t need anymore CINO Pelosi’s and Kennedy’s.
Right to Life -
Asked in an interview on the CBS News program “Face the Nation,” whether he agreed with Republicans who oppose Federal abortion payments in cases of rape or incest or to protect the life of a mother, Mr. Gingrich said: “No. First of all, I think you should have funding in the case of rape or incest or life of the mother, which is the first step.”

Self Defense -
“In 1996, Newt Gingrich turned his back on guns and voted for the anti-gun Brady Campaign’s Lautenberg Gun Ban, which strips the Second Amendment rights of citizens involved in misdemeanor domestic violence charges or temporary protection orders –- in some cases for actions as minor as spanking a child or grabbing a spouse’s wrist.(1)”

Newt does not support the right to life or the means to protect it and is nothing more than a flip-flopping RINO, just like Mitt Romney.
For this alone, I’d vote for Newt instead of Slick Mitt even though I’m not thrilled with either of them.
Why do ANY of you believe this man??? “Snake oil for sale! Snake oil for sale!”
Newt balanced four budgets, reformed welfare, orchestrated a GOP takeover of both houses of Congress, and has a 99% pro-life voting record.
He is a scholar who understands history, details of governmental affairs, current events and global politics. They won’t be able dismiss him with the standard “Republicans are stupid” attack.
His breadth of knowledge and brilliant analytical skills will shine during the presidential debates. He will educate the public while crushing Obama. He has the experience needed for the dismantling of the federal bureaucracy.
Newt is not for legal protection from conception forward.
