Democrats: When Do You Think Life Begins?
Wall Street Journal Opinion Page ^ | May 9, 2022 | Rick Scott

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.

Wow, I am so sorry I missed this when it was first posted. So many options.

Life begins when you vote democrat.

Better yet, life begins when you die and then vote democrat.

You ain’t living if you ain’t looting?

Life beings when you cross the border and register to vote democrat.

Life begins when you get the vaccine, die and then vote democrat.

Ok, gotta run.

Yep, like pointing out their hypocrisy and double standards: they don’t care.

One thing we can keep saying is that we are the party of choice, the choice exercized when choosing to not risk pregancy when not married or not in a relationship that is mutually committed to marriage.

Would you just stop being so argumentative. I don’t need a super detailed biology lesson to know and accurately describe when life begins.

I think the author asks the wrong question.

I believe that the right question for any woman should be, “When did you realize that the object growing in your womb was not YOU but SOMEONE ELSE?”

If a woman can point to that moment, she will have defined the moment beyond which it is no longer “my body. my choice.”

The first time I saw my grandson, now three, was in an ultra sound at about 13 weeks. He had a heart beat, hands and feet and purposeful action. He even had what could be seen as a serene smile. I wish my father, an old time family doctor, had been alive to see his great grandson. Without question my daughter could have chosen to have him aborted.
