Debbie Wasserman Schultz: Saying Life Begins at Conception Is ‘Extreme and Radical’ By Matt Cover November 3, 2011 Subscribe to Matt Cover's posts

(CNSNews.com) - Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-Fla.), chair of the Democratic National Committee, said Thursday that for states to enact constitutional amendments that say human life begins at conception is “an extreme and radical step.”

“For the vast majority of Americans, including people on both sides of the abortion issue, this is an extreme and radical step,” she said.

Speaking to reporters on a conference call, Wasserman-Schultz said that so-called personhood amendments are a “divisive, dangerous, and destructive” attack on women.

“To American women, their reproductive health and choice is an intensely personal and private issue between themselves, their families, and their doctors,” the DNC chairwoman said. “But Republicans in Washington and across the country have tried to limit these rights, with their assault on Planned Parenthood in Congress and restrictive laws in the states being among several examples.”

“Now," she said, "the effort by the far right [is] to pass these so-called personhood amendments--divisive, dangerous, and destructive laws which would cripple a woman’s right to choose, limit access to birth control, and put the lives of women with difficult pregnancies at risk.”

Wasserman-Shultz called the personhood amendments being considered or petitioned for in Mississippi, Ohio, Texas, Kansas, and Florida “the most extreme assault on a woman’s right to choose.”

For Little Debbie, life begins when you’re elected to office.

With today's hair care products and incredibly skilled (and inexpensive) stylists, there is simply no excuse for that hair.

I wonder what she would say if you told her that she was one of the too many.

Well, in Ditzy Debbie's case, it is OBVIOUS that normal brain activity and reasoning hasn't kicked in for the past 45 years, maybe next year.

Notice the similarity between Wasserman-Schultz's statement and Islam's claim that Sharia is great because it “protects the dignity of women.” You have to hand it to these socialists, they sure are audacious in making baseless arguments.

If NASA were to detect on a planet, the signs an obstetrician gets during an early prenatal exam, NASA would announce the discovery of extraterrestrial life.

Very good!

My simple response to these idiots is “Ok... so when does life begin?” The squirming and rationalizations that follow are pretty entertaining.

I guess all those infants in the womb are just minerals, then. Amazing that a man-labeled tripping point we call birthing reconstitutes this mineral mass into a lifeform.

Lack of awareness isn't sufficient to claim that an individual human isn't alive and worthy to keep his life or we could get away with killing people when they're unconscious or asleep.

We can get away with it, and we do. DWS was instrumental in the murder of Terri Schiavo. She stood up on the floor of Congress and gave the most vile hate filled speech I have ever heard. The veins popped out in her face as she angrily ranted about the nerve of Terri Schiavo for wasting precious resources that she was not entitled to because she was a vegetable. Don't bother trying to appeal to DWS's good side. She has none.

Debbie, I am not sure Human life has ever started for you yet.

You beat me to it. I was just wondering if her parents had any surviving children.

Even if DWS had a dog, it wouldn’t like her.

Simply ask the question,

“Then when exactly DOES it begin? And I need an exact answer, because you can’t write law around vague statements.”
