I have a simple question for Democrats: When do you believe life begins?
The Republican position on abortion is based on a fundamental belief that life begins at conception. It’s a conclusion grounded in faith and values, but also in science.
We know that unborn babies can feel pain very early. We know that after six weeks a baby’s heartbeat can be heard in the womb. Modern sonograms show unborn babies smiling, yawning and sucking their thumbs.
Put simply, science has revealed that an unborn baby is a human being, and voters agree. According to recent polling conducted by the National Republican Senatorial Committee, 73% of voters agree that an unborn baby is a human being.
So that raises the question: When do Democrats believe life begins? At conception? At viability? At birth? After birth? They won’t say. Even more disconcerting, reporters won’t ask them. It’s a dereliction of duty by the mainstream media not to push the question, and it’s an abdication of their responsibility to inform the American people and spur legitimate debate.
Since the leaked draft opinion in the case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, Democrats have come out as the abortion extremists we’ve always known they are. They’ve staked out a position that is simply outside the mainstream of where average American voters are.

Liberals take Genesis 2:7 about the creation of Adam and apply it to all of Adam's descendants to justify their baby-butchering in the womb. There's other Scripture (e.g., Psalm 22:10–11, Psalm 139:13–16, Jeremiah 1:5, and Job 31:15) that recognize a baby in the womb as a human being.
Furthermore, such liberals are often hypocrites when they also believe humans are descended from lower animals, not Adam.
Using the term ‘conception’ in two different contexts causes confusion. The union of the two gametes causes a ‘new life to express’ and the attachment to the uterine lining is a conception, by the mother.
They know, but deny because they don’t want to lose the millions that the abortionists give them.
The godless demoncrats are all about self. Everything else is a distant second.
The duplicity liiterally screams out to us!
Thanks immensely.
The article from quillete was excellent and spot on with theme of this thread.
Lol.
I specifically said and meant conception. A fertilized egg cannot develop unless it attaches to the uterus. That is conception. A fertilized egg that fails to attach in the uterus is usually passed unnoticed out of the body in some way, usually through reabsorption or, in the case of ectopic pregnancy, through surgical intervention.
The moment of conception when the child’s DNA is completely different than the mother’s.
It’s a difference in degree and not in kind. Human from conception—doesn’t grow into anything else.
“I’m not a Bible scholar with enough knowledge to know what the Bible says, but that’s what I heard someone say, that first breath is the start of life.”
You don’t have to be. The interpretation of Genesis goes out the window with basic reasoning. First, if man can create life in the lab, then does that make him God? SYNTHETIC cells made by combining components of Mycoplasma bacteria with a chemically synthesized genome can grow and divide into cells of uniform shape and size, just like most natural bacterial cells. I don’t see any nostrils for man to breath into.
Secondly, babies do breath in the womb. The children in the womb need oxygen to survive thus they breath. So at what point does the child breath to stay alive? It is in the womb. Not at the birth outside the womb. Although babies do practice breathing movements in the womb to train their muscles, they don’t actually breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide like birthed people do. Instead, oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange happen via the umbilical cord and placenta. But it still happens. So if the definition of being alive is based upon breathing, that occurs in the womb. So we’re right back to where we started. And when is it right to remove life from a person whether in the womb or not? Totally outside the womb, it is killing by a human definition. The determination of legal killing is what is in question.

First once the two gametes combine into a single cell there is no longer an 'egg', there is a zygote. THAT new life does in fact develop into a multicellular mass known as the morulla, proving scientifically that the new life IS developing.
The zygote is not an egg (ovum) or a spermatazoon, it is a new distinct life begun, and that new life expresses in the dividing of cells forming a mass known as the morrulla.
They may not know when it begins, but they sure as heck know when it ends.
Since they’re so madly in love “injections”, perhaps they should experiment with some high-speed lead injections on themselves.
Hint for libs: an “injection” in the ear or between the eyes has proven to have the best and quickest results for those that have tried it. Suggest you try it for yourself and see...we’ll be waiting to hear back from ya. /s
It seems possible there is even be a "grey zone" within the larger "grey zone".
IMO, the first successful heartbeat, with its easily understood purpose, is the definitive event.
Why bother with the question.
They do not care when life begins
They just want to end the baby’s life when they want to.
It has nothing to do with these tortured pro life arguments about when life REALLY BEGINS!
I think the question is, Do democrats care when life begins?
For the lovers of abortion, it’s strictly about convenience and expediency. They don’t care whether it’s a life or not, they just don’t want the bother of their irresponsible behavior.
That in a essence is their (unstated) argument.
Everything else they say is just dishonest smoke and mirrors.
The law, moreover enjoins us to bring up all our offspring, and forbids women to cause abortion of what is begotten, or to destroy it afterward; and if any woman appears to have so done, she will be a murderer of her child, by destroying a living creature, and diminishing human kind: if any one, therefore, proceeds to such fornication or murder, he cannot be clean.
