According to the White House, the credibility of the Planned Parenthood videos is highly questionable. And the videos have been heavily edited and clearly have an ideological ax to grind. White House mouthpiece Josh Earnest says he knows this because that's what he read in news reports, although he has not seen any of them.

That is Earnest's response when pushed for a response by CNN's Jake Tapper, apparently the only real journalist left in the mainstream media.

interesting, as many feel the credibility of the white house is also highly questionable.

One would think, given the nonchalant attitude of those who favor abortion-on-demand, most expectant mothers would reserve their worrying until after the fetus takes its first gulp of air.

If not interfered with, all fetuses will pop out a baby.
Never heard of a rutaga pooping out.

Non-fertilized eggs never become babies.
Lost sperm never do either.
Only time a baby starts on the way is after conception.
No magic dust is applied in the birth canal.

So to say life doesn't begin there is rather idiotic, doncha know?

Barbara Boxer (D-CA) says it is not until it leaves the hospital.

There is a lot to not like about this article. Here is a pertinent part.
In an effort to pin down when, exactly, a rabidly “pro-choice” senator like Boxer would consent to give a human baby the constitutional right not to be killed, Santorum asks:
Why is Boxer portrayed as rabidly pro choice, but Santorum is not portrayed as rabidly prolife? The answer is obvious. It is to make Boxer look as bad as possible. We picture a rabid dog, snarling and foaming at the mouth.
“You agree, once a child is born, is separated from the mother, that that child is protected by the Constitution and cannot be killed? Do you agree with that?”
This is a stupid question. Santorum is implying that the pro-choice crowd wants to kill healthy babies. But then, Santorum is a stupid man.
Boxer responds:
“I think when you bring your baby home, when your baby is born … the baby belongs to your family and has all the rights.”
Note the phrase I placed in red. That is the important phrase. "When your baby is born" Otherwise we have to assume that Boxer is saying it is all right to kill your baby as long as you do it in the hospital. I am not so dumb as to think that. Apparently some people are.

I have to put something here otherwise the site will tell me my post is too short.

You mean like the fact that Boxer is an idiot? That is not changed by your deflection that Santorum is also an idiot.

Your highlighting in red the few words that Boxer said that you like doesn't change the fact that she said a child has human rights after the family takes it home and it "belongs" to them.

She said something stupid, period. If she believes it, she is stupid. If she doesn't believe it, saying it is stupid. Nothing you can say changes that fact.

That would be "Senator Boxer is a total idiot" if you don't mind. She throws a real hissy fit if you don't call her "Senator".

The political power of the anti-choice movement reared its ugly head when the GWB justice dept. decide not to seek the death penalty. Would they have done same for an Islamic terrorist who killed two people in the attack and wound over a hundred? This guy was worse than the Boston Marathon bombers. They know no shame when it comes to protecting their own.
I was reading about "Bleeding Kansas" (a.k.a. the Kansas Border War) yesterday and I realized there are some similarities between the abortion and slavery issues in terms of the way proponents on each side of the fence react to the other side.

In the 1850s war broke out between the slavery and anti-slavery factions along the border of Kansas because the people of a new state could decide on the issue of slavery. Neither side wanted the other side to win.

The term "Bleeding Kansas" was coined by Republican Horace Greeley, editor of the New York Tribune; its violence indicated that compromise was unlikely and thus it presaged the Civil War.

I don't know if the pro-choice and pro-life stances will lead to civil war, but I do think there will continue to be violence as long as the issue remains unresolved.
