Huckabee's point is that several scientists and doctors are now saying that science proves that life does begin at conception.
I personally am torn at this point in my life. Always thought an abortion wasn't that big a deal when I was younger and that it's a woman's right.
Now...I try to stay out of the discussion, because I just am not sure anymore.
And IF the pro-life people are correct...then we might have been having the biggest slaughter of all times.
Again, I'm not saying that. I'm still "pro-choice". But I'm not so sure of myself on the subject anymore.
Anyway, here is a sample of what Huckabee was talking about
:
Dr. Jerome LeJeune, professor of genetics at the University of Descartes in Paris, was the discoverer of the chromosome pattern of Down syndrome. Dr. LeJeune testified to the Judiciary Subcommittee, “after fertilization has taken place a new human being has come into being.” He stated that this “is no longer a matter of taste or opinion,” and “not a metaphysical contention, it is plain experimental evidence.” He added, “Each individual has a very neat beginning, at conception.”
You can google it up and find a lot more on it. I just did and that was one of the ones I found.
I couldn't find any doctors or scientists claiming otherwise. The only dissension I could find to Huckabee's assertion was from bloggers and extreme left crazies who were busy taking shots at him and making fun of Republicans.
