Barbara Boxer's Abortion Illogic 1/2

Oct. 20, 1999—Here's one of the greatest pro-life apologists ever in the U.S. Senate debating the most intellectually-dishonest and, as this video shows, inept pro-abortion/pro-modified-infanticide legislators ever on a subject (partial-birth abortion) that is simply indefensible. Party of Life 1, Party of Death 0.

Boxer: I am absolutely not suggesting that. You asked me a question, in essence, when the baby is born.

Santorum: I am asking you again. Can you answer that?

Boxer: I will answer the question when the baby is born. The baby is born when the baby is outside the mother's body. The baby is born.

Santorum: I am not going to put words in your mouth - -

Boxer: I hope not.

Santorum: But, again, what you are suggesting is if the baby's toe is inside the mother, you can, in fact, kill that baby.

[Hey Rick, you need to spell it out for her. Next time say something like: "You just said that the baby is born when it is outside the mother's body. I AGREE with you about that and if we were here debating the "Fully-Born Abortion Bill", then the debate would be over. Additionally, we are not debating the "Unborn Abortion Bill", if so, we might have to discuss what a fetus is at it's early stages of development and we would have a disagreement about that. But here, we are discussing a bill that puts at issue neither a fully unborn baby nor an unborn fetus, but something intermediary. Appealing to common sense, I am asking you to join me in unequivocally defending the rights of a baby that has partially emerged from it's mother's body, whether it is a hand, or foot or head.]

Boxer: Absolutely not.

Santorum: OK. So if the baby's toe is in, you can't kill the baby. How about if the baby's foot is in?

Boxer: You are the one who is making these statements.

Santorum: We are trying to draw a line here.

Boxer: I am not answering these questions! I am not answering these questions.

And she got reelected in 2010, with 5,218,441 million Kalifornia voters. What a joke...

Look for youtube video w/Obama stating, "If she wanted the child to be born alive she would have went to a hospital" Obama said this I believe in 2006 when he was a IL Senator. had to do with SB 1082

[ChristianOnly1]

Barbara Boxer really don't want to answer this question, because she knows that the constitution protects that child once separated from the mother. It's a very easy answer yes or no and like Obama on many issues she is tripping all over her words to keep form giving a straight answer. Impeach Obama and these liberals in office

Leftists cannot answer a simple question of morality. It's why the so called "smartest man in any room" answered the question of when life begins with, "that's above my pay grade".

[Phillip Lightweis-Goff]

Again, you are misrepresenting her words. This letter was to an African American leader, and briefly touched on concerns of bad press for her pro-birth-control work, and how others sought to demean her. Like I said, she WAS in favor of eugenics when it came to the disabled, and that her positions there were not admirable. But she was NOT a believer in racial cleansing (unlike many bible-toting white southerners).

[robertsophiea05]

phil this what makes you so stupid. you think it is ok that she wanted to eliminate large groups of people as long as it was not because they were a different color. killing all the handicap people is ok as long as some are white? killing all the poor people is ok as long as some are white?

[Phillip Lightweis-Goff]

Yes, Rick Santorum is a huge d-bag, isn't he?

[Phillip Lightweis-Goff]

This is taken completely out of context. Sanger worked with the NAACP and other African-American organizations on various reproductive issues, but did not want to be mistaken for a racist eugenicist (she hated Nazis and segregationists). She was in favor of sterilizing the disabled (not admirable), but her beliefs were not racialized.

"We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members." Margaret Sanger founder of Planed Parenthood
