IN CASE YOU MISSED IT… Sen. Rick Scott in the Wall Street Journal: Democrats: When Do You Think Life Begins?

May 10, 2022

WASHINGTON, D.C. – In case you missed it, Senator Rick Scott wrote an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal slamming Democrats’ extremist push for abortion until birth and refusal to answer a simple question: when do they believe life begins?

 

In the op-ed, Senator Rick Scott wrote, “I have a simple question for Democrats: When do you believe life begins?

 

Put simply, science has revealed that an unborn baby is a human being, and voters agree. According to recent polling conducted by the National Republican Senatorial Committee, 73% of voters agree that an unborn baby is a human being.

 

So that raises the question: When do Democrats believe life begins? At conception? At viability? At birth? After birth? They won’t say. Even more disconcerting, reporters won’t ask them.

 

Since the leaked draft opinion in the case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, Democrats have come out as the abortion extremists we’ve always known they are. They’ve staked out a position that is simply outside the mainstream of where average American voters are.

 

Meanwhile, Republicans are happy to answer the question of when life begins: We believe life begins at conception because we believe in science and place value in every life, born and unborn.

 

Once Democrats have an answer, we can have a legitimate debate on the issue.”
