MSNBC host says that life begins when parents decide it begins

How’s this for evil?

Over at MSNBC a nit-wit talker opined that life begin not at conception, but rather when parents decide it begins (and we know that parents doesn’t really include the father!).

Might I add that before this story I don’t recall of ever having heard of this person?

MSNBC Host: Life Begins When Parents Say it Does, Not Based on Science
by Steven Ertelt

MSNBC host Melissa Harris Perry drew negative reactions from people this past weekend when she wore tampon earrings during a broadcast, telling viewers they were made especially for her to wear to demonstrate her opposition to the ban on late-term abortions in Texas that Governor Rick Perry signed.

Now, Harris Perry is at it again — this time telling viewers that human life doesn’t begin at conception. Instead, it begins, the MSNBC host contends, when the parents think it begins — not when science says it does.

“When does life begin? I submit the answer depends an awful lot on the feeling of the parents. A powerful feeling – but not science,” Harris-Perry said on her show Sunday. “The problem is that many of our policymakers want to base sweeping laws on those feelings.”

That wasn’t the only outrageous thing Harris Perry said, according to a CNS News report:

Harris-Perry also said that women with unwanted pregnancies do not share the same experience as the Duchess of Cambridge, who gave birth Monday to an 8 pound, 6 ounce baby boy who is now third in line to the British throne.

“When a pregnancy is wanted . . . it is easy to think of the bump as a baby,” Harris-Perry said. “But not every pregnancy is a fairy tale.”

“An unwanted pregnancy can be biologically the same as a wanted one. But the experience can be entirely different,” she added.

Imagine the ramifications of this.

If I am in any position of authority or have anything to do with your care, when I decide you are no longer alive, or your life isn’t worth what it once did to me, ….

Nit-wit ... there’s a term I haven’t heard in a long time.

This reduces the dignity of human life to that of a velveteen rabbit, who is not real unless it is loved.

I guess she'd think it legal to kill Geraldo Rivera, who is loved by nobody.

so pretty much you can retro-abort a 15 year old trouble maker that has a medical condition and declare them not to have been alive.. and that’s it?

Political extremism can cause insanity.

Not to mention millions of murders every year.

MSNBC, their motto must be “You don’t have to be smart to work for us, just breathing”

So Andrea Yaeger can go free? I mean, sounds like they believe the only difference between her and a someone who wants a late term abortion, is geography.

I saw a video of students at Georgetown or something signing a petition to legalize killing children after they are born.

MSNBC is really the poorest excuse for TV “news”. In all the world, UHF midnight Channel 38 in Sudan has a higher viewer audience.

I'm thinking you mean Andrea Yates, the woman who drowned her five children.

Andrea Jaeger is a tennis star who became a nun.

Your right - I added on another syllable. I was too tired to look her up. And she makes me physically ill to see her.
