Received a mailing from the Hartzler campaign this morning that surprised me. Well, the mailing didn’t, but the apparent message did. A picture of a newborn baby with this phrase printed on the pic, “Only one candidate will protect life from the very beginning…” followed by “Vicky Hartzler.” This seems to be telling me that she believes life begins at birth. The Missouri Republican State Committee sure knows how to get a message out.
Vicky Hartzler Says Life Begins at Birth

“life begins” at any particular moment has any bearing on the argument of what that life merits. Sperm and ova, long before they get together are living tissue (and a cow, a pig or a carrot represent life just as much as any human). These folks debase the concept of human life by oversimplifying a complex set of considerations. Nevertheless, as you point out, it is amusing when a particularly hairbrained specimen can’t keep the party line straight.
