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.

Um I have no audio on this video.

[ApologiaTV]

@DizziNY It's there, just turn up the speakers. It was recorded too low. Sorry.

Pretty typical of the pro-life vs. pro-choice debates. One side asks plain, direct questions (is the fetus a person?), the other gives platitudes (I support bodily autonomy).

Gee, which side has the monopoly on reason?

[Cortelco1]

Someone should stick a scalpel in the base of Boxer's skull and suck out her brain.

It's the same 'procedure' on Ma'am Boxer wants to done to innocent babies.

What's good for the goose ... eh, Barbara?

@Giantswm24 Pretty sure you were already there before you watched the vid.

[Giantswm24]

i'm sorry but rick santorum is just a zealot. end of story. I feel dumber for watching this video

[Giantswm24]

@framptonorchablis bingo you are absolutely right. This guy is the crazy

[framptonorchablis]

I'm tired of right-wing radicals like Rick Santorum trying to force women to have babies against their will.

Rick Santorum's own WIFE had an abortion for a medical reason, but he wants to deny that right to everyone else. He's the biggest hypocrite on abortion in the country.

@jmjsanfran Soo who influences women who get pregnant after rape? It's always easy to blame the women for their decisions, but i say fuck your god for getting them raped in the first place.

"The baby is born when the baby is born." What a stupid comment. How about, "I am alive when I am alive," or "the sky is blue when the sky is blue." The "when" implies she is going to give an explanation of the initial statement. This asserts nothing, but only repeats the initial phrase. How could the people of California be do dumb-witted to elect a dunce like this?

@CzarDB  Seriously, my blood boils whenever her ugly lips start flapping...

[IceKnight366]

Not just partial-birth abortions, how about late-"term" abortions? In the case of premature births, fetus' can be born prematurely 8, or even 7 months early! So that the only reason you can abort them is because they are geographically located inside the womb vs outside the womb. I mean seriously? This is a complete outrage...

[CzarDB]

Boxer is a complete idiot.

@XJuanwikoX Boxer didn't stand up to the nut head. I don't agree with Santorum on some issues,this one I do!
