“Old practical Newt strikes again.”

Old practical Newt IS being practical...

If a woman urinates in the john she could very well leave behind an egg. Assuming she doesn’t flush, a guy could provide a sperm in his urine. We could have a new life created... We really could.

So what are we going to do about it?

This has no business even being address.

Life begins at conception.

It would appear Newt is eager to derail any gain he has made....

..someone has to ask the question....WHY?

God says “at conception”. Any man or woman who says differently, isn’t worthy of the Christian vote.

Looks like conception may not be early enough.

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you..."

Jeremiah 1:5

Just heard from a very reliable source that Gingrich just got done submitting a questionnaire to NRTL in which he made a rape and incest exception as well.

The guy is an unprincipled dingbat.

I say that with all due respect.

You're an idiot. Have a nice day.

With Newt as the nominee, even states such as mine, Indiana, will be back in play again for Obama.

I’m so disappointed in this turn of events. One lady on FOX says Newt has a way of always imploding. So, now, SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL ME WHAT DO WE DO NOW? Do we root for Santorum to make a good showing in Iowa and become a viable candidate and have a chance of becoming the nominee? Somebody help me out here.

I think that is an excellent question. I wondered the same thing when Newt made such an issue about the amnesty thing. Why was he doing this NOW? I really think he has a powerful self-destructive tendency to shoot himself in the foot whenever he is succeeding at anything - whether it be politics or his personal life. Now he comes out with this.

You mark my words, Newt Gingrich is going to implode in the next couple of weeks.

I don’t trust him.

That interview by one of his ex wives was very revealing. The man is not totally sane. Not that many politicians are.

And to be honest I find it odd that Cain left the race because of accusations of infidelity, and Newt has quite a few of those in his past and is now the guy to beat. And no one is talking about them.

Thank you for your response. Jer 1:5 is one of the main verses I use in pregnancy counseling. But conception is the point in which to establish law, and it’s the practical point of time in which to counsel even non-believers.

Sometimes, just showing them God’s Word is enough to change their minds (having never seen it before). The remaining scoffers simply attack the Bible. Every single time, without fail.

Bingo.

No one wants to touch the Pill. Not even the Catholic’s who are on paper as being opposed to it.

Because Gingrich is making a political and philosophical argument at the same time. Say, for example, a “Life begins at conception” amendment is added. What are some of the possible logical implications?

1. “conception” certificates.
2. birth-control pill bans.
3. police investigations for miscarriages.

These are some of the “difficult questions” that would be required to be addressed. There will never be a “go back like it used to be” situation...these will be the questions asked.

Gingrich is doing what he always does, similar to his immigration discussion. He is taking a talking point position that many conservatives make and taking it to its logical conclusion. Some like that, some hate it. That’s just his way.

Immediate life at conception. With God’s blessing. Viable life at implantation. Not all conceptive life lives. I have no idea why he elected to go there.

Just so everyone knows where Noot stands on life issues. I wonder what he means by "successful implantation".

Looks like I’ll be sitting out this years’s Presidental race again. Pro-illegal and pandering republicans will not get my vote.

So you enjoy our current President that much you want him to win reelection? It will be far easier to activate and force a RINO to do the right thing in office than a full out Marxist. Just look at what we were able to do with Harriet Meyers and Bush's amnesty. Contrast that with how all the activism in the world that took place only to have Obamacare jammed down our throats.

It's a little presumptuous to think that Gingrich will be the nominee. As of now, he hasn't won any primaries.

If this primary season has taught us anything it's that front-runners come and go. So far we've had as front-runners, Trump, Romney, Bachmann, Cain, Perry and Gingrich (did I leave anyone out?).

There's still plenty of time for Gingrich himself to talk voters out of supporting him.
