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.”

Abortionists claim human life doesn't begin with the embryo. I've heard that particular "explanation" from abortionists for decades. If the human embryo isn't by definition human life, then what is it? If it's not life or human life, then it won't continue to grow into an actual human being. In fact, we're pretty well assured that human embryos, if not killed, develop into full-grown humans.

Actually, the attempt by abortionists to refrain from calling human embroyos what they are, human life, doesn't border on the asinine and totally ridiculous, it crosses that border. You can try to defend abortion on certain grounds, but one thing you can't do is either call it non-human life or not life at all.

"liberal boss"

Using her "logic", you would have been justified in strangling her on the spot as she approved of her own demise.

Life begins at conception, and ends with abortion.

If it ain’t a baby, then you ain’t pregnant.

Debbie Washerwoman Schultz is a very homely, rather unwashed looking but typical DemocRAT female. Her opinions and her presence in the Congress (a collection of Baboons) are what have caused this catastrophe in America!
