It would appear Newt is eager to derail any gain he has made....
..someone has to ask the question....WHY?
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.

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