Give it a rest - unless you are prepared to award FReepers a medical degree in medicine with Board Certification in ObGyn.

Think ectopic pregnancy much?

Newt has been sitting a little to close on the couch with Pelosi.

Ultimately, one has nothing but one’s principles to stand upon, and the most central, fundamental, and basic bedrock principle that one could possibly rely upon, is that the very difficult questions are never even to be asked, let alone answered. According to some.

Looks like Newt will be the nominee. That makes me very nervous. Just like McCain he says a lot of the right things and I want to like him, then he tries to please everyone (see his immigration stance).

Truly a “nattering nabob of negativism” award finalist. Why does Michelle Bachman have to nitpick on even this? The average voter could care less. Crikey!

I think what NEWT is saying here is that if you fertilise a woman’s egg and place it in a freezer for 6 months , it isn’t a human life until it is implanted. Conception would come when it is implanted and not when it went in the freezer.

Not sure I don’t agree with him.

Nitpicking this is far too complicated an area for me, and I don’t know what the Catholic theologians have to say about it. Is it a human life when the egg is fertilised or when the fertilised egg is planted. There damn sure will not be life without implantation.

Show me any scientific evidence of when the soul enters the body.

THAT is the point when 'it' becomes a 'who'.

Gingrich had no business joining the Catholic church if he doesn’t agree with Catholic doctrine. Perhaps he should just leave. And I don’t think he’ll make any friends in the pro-life community with this talk that life begins at implantation.

Its not difficult for those who oppose the morning after pill or embryonic stem cell research.

Tell Newt that he is a CINO (Catholic in Name Only).

The Catholic Church teaches that life begins at conception.

“from the time that the ovum is fertilized, a life is begun that is neither that of the father nor the mother; it is rather the life of a new human being with his own growth.” (Evangelium Vitae 60, quoting Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Declaration on Procured Abortion

The foundation for Catholic social thought is the proper understanding and value of the human person. In the words of Pope John Paul II, the foundation of Catholic social teaching “is a correct view of the human person and of his unique value, inasmuch as ‘man … is the only creature on earth which God willed for itself.’ God has imprinted his own image and likeness on man (cf. Gen 1:26), conferring upon him an incomparable dignity” (Centesimus Annus 11). In a sense, all Catholic social teachings articulate the ethical implications of a proper understanding of the dignity of the person

This is the typical politician answer. Basically, he is saying that he does not have the integrity or fortitude to honestly answer that question, lest he offend potential voters.

Personally, I am sick of this mamby-pamby approach. If you really stand for something as a candidate, then you should be able to defend it. Who the heck is he trying to be here? Mitt Romney?

Not only does the Catholic Church teach that life begins at conception, but so does science.

As soon as conception occurs, you have a person who is a) alive; b) different genetically from either the mother or father; and c) human.

It is contrary to science to pretend otherwise. The fetus isn’t dead and then suddenly comes alive. It is alive from the moment of conception.

Notice, too, that the reason Gingrich takes this position, apparently, is so he can support fetal stem cell research. Sorry, but that doesn’t fly. In the first place, it is using a human life in a Nazi kind of way. And in the second place, it has proven just about useless.

The ONLY reason to support fetal stem cell research is because you have friends in the business who want government pork to support their experiments.

California has spend billions which it doesn’t have to support fetal stem cell research. What has it gained? Absolutely NOTHING.

Life begins when you vote conservative. Newt is still in the prelife stage.

The Catholic Church says life begins at conception and I agree. Newt disagrees with his Church.

Old practical Newt strikes again. Expediency trumps principle one more time.

FUNG!

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

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

There is politics and there is simple truth.

Noot cannot separate the two.

...because if you say life begins at conception "you're going to open up an extraordinary range of very difficult questions."

Yes, it does. The morally sound answers to those questions are hard. But it was made hard by people like Gingrich who want to go down the slippery slope just a bit to comfort themselves, which has already transformed society into a culture of easy solutions with murderous consequences. Gingrich is interviewing for a position where all of the decisions are hard, yet wants to run away from the issue.

Gingrich also said that his "friends" who take "ideological positions" that human life does begin at conception "don't then follow through on the logic of" that postion.

Yes, that is moral cowardice to not act as one believes, but Gingrich would have use believe that "believing" away moral problems in search of easy answers is better.

This is the most unpresidential thing he has said. Can I expect him to make any difficult choices as president? Is he just going to "believe" away the deficit?

I hate to hear that Newt said this. It seems as though the Republicans are determined to pull defeat out of the jaws of victory and give Obozo 4 more years in the White House.
