Audience Boos Contraception Question — Gingrich Then Slams Media Over Obama and ‘Legalized Infanticide’

CNN Moderator John King got more than he’d bargained for Wednesday night when he asked the Republican candidates a question on contraception. The audience responded immediately with audible, angry booing, before Former Speaker Newt Gingrich seized the microphone and delivered another sharp rejoinder to King.

“I want to make two quick points, John. The first is there is a legitimate question about the power of the government to impose on religion activities which any religion opposes. That’s legitimate. But I just want to point out, you did not once in the 2008 campaign, not once did anybody in the elite media ask why Barack Obama voted in favor of legalizing infanticide,” Gingrich said, to raucous applause.

Almost on cue, National Journal, which Gingrich might classify as part of the “elite media,” has produced an article fact-checking the statement. They differ with Gingrich, arguing that Obama voted only against a bill that would have granted human rights to fetuses, and did not support allowing live-born children to be killed, as there were already laws in place requiring medical treatment for such children on the books.

Moreover, the fact-checkers point out that CNN itself did devote coverage to the issue:

    I wish they would get off the abortion wagon. BORING!!!! No one cares. Bottom line – INSIDE THE BODY – IT belongs to the owner of the body to be flushed out whenever she wants from day 1 to the day before it is due to be born. IT IS NO ONE’s BUSINESS.

    As to the ObamaCare/RomneyCare paying for ‘the pill” or paying for morning after pill – the GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT BE IN THE HEALTHCARE BUSINESS and NEITHER SHOULD EMPOYERS – PERIOD. People should buy their own health insurance from whatever state they want and in whatever form they want across state lines if they want. If they have trouble paying the premiums (which will go up if they are fat or smoke just like bad drivers get zapped), the government can GIVE them money directly to help pay for their health insurance. Everyone shops around for thier own best price health insurance and everyone gets a tax free $5,000 a year from uncle same to put into their health care savings account to pay for PREVENTIVE Care things like mammograms,e tc. People can put another $5000 of their own money in there tax free and use that money to pay for laser eye surgery, aspirin or chiropractor or vitamins. People can buy catastrophic healthcare insurance to pay for cancers, heart attacks, severe injuries from car accidents etc. and use their health care savings accounts for everything NOT catastrophic Don’t want to pay for birth control – don’t buy from a company that allows it. There – EVERYTHING SOLVED. .

You are just an example of a growing uncaring, immoral citizenry who can callously “flush out”, or murder a child created in God’s image. If it is not already true, you will eventually find it acceptable to “flush out” those you disagree with, or who you consider no longer useful. You would have been right at home in Hitlers regime.

      However in cases when the abortion fails, Senator Obama voted allowing to let the child alone to die, after birth alive, to die without paying attention or any care… and that is really evil. To abandon the living baby with no water, or medical care on a table and close the door for everybody to leave…What a cruelty!

The fact that you have this view shows how truly sad and barbaric your view of innocent life is and we should all pray that you can have a change of heart. Or should we adopt your point of view and abort people like you before you come out of the womb and just go around like you claiming it is none of anyone’s business?

      No. After contraception, the child has separate DNA from the mother. It’s place of residence is irrelevant, it’s a unique, living human being. Every abortion is a murder, every time. And if the Paul-bots want to call addressing this issue a “losing proposition” then we know where they really stand on human rights.

      Let’s be clear here DIVIDEDWEFAIL. A woman is in labor. Only the head of a perfectly healthy baby comes out, and your point is that the mother is hypothetically allowed to direct the doctor at that moment to stick a needle in the skull? If you say yes to that, may the Good Lord have mercy on your soul. If you say no, then I ask when would it be alright? One minute before the head emerges? One day before? May I ask if you’ve ever seen the image of a three month old fetus inside the womb of a mother? If not, may I suggest that you should.

      @DividedWeFail

      Anyone with a conscience SHOULD care!

      Bottom line is that pregnancy is not a disease that requires a cure (if you can call death a cure). And pregnancy can be prevented. I, for one, am not against contraceptives,because there is no life there beforehand, BUT, when a child is growing in the mother’s womb (not the “owner’s” womb) she can do whatever she thinks is right about HER own body, but the body growing within her is a separate person’s body, and she has NO right to kill it! That baby has a right to be protected by law. It is not that child’s fault that the mother had unprotected sex. He or she did not ask to be created. Anyone old enough to be sexually active need to realize their actions can have consequences.

      And one fact few people realize is that in many cases, it’s the mother or father of an aborted child that suffer life-long psychological pain. PP doesn’t tell anyone that, nor do they allow them to see the amazingly formed child before the abortion. They know few could go through with it if they saw what was really there! So, they say it’s a blob of tissues. Lie!

      @ Luke… so what about the rights of the baby to his body and llife? No human has the right to deprive another human of life – the first and most basic natural right. We do have the natural right to protect and preserve our own lives. So abortion is somehow self defense for the Mother – how? The natural “cure” for pregnancy is birth.

      Rick Santorum – the latest candidate to try and establish himself as the conservative alternative to Mitt Romney – was hit hard.

      But instead of backing down tonight, he had the audacity to defend his Big Government record, including:

      >>> Voting for Title X funding, which sends tens of millions of dollars to Planned Parenthood;

      >>> Campaigning and endorsing Arlen Specter in a tough Republican Primary versus a true conservative – Pat Toomey;

      >>> Voting for bailouts and raising the debt ceiling five times.

      He even said at one point having limited government is nothing more than a pipe dream and hinted that the problems with existing Big Government programs, are more Big Government programs!

      These are hardly the marks of a conservative.

If she doesn’t want the baby, she can put it up for adoption. But you sir…you are the evil that is wrong with this nation. You should be incarcerated for your sociopathic desires to kill a baby. It‘s all about what I want for you isn’t it? Because we should all get what we want….is that right?

      Murder is murder, so that pretty much destroys your poorly laid out thought process.

      Many do care and as has been said before, if you expect me to pay for it then you dont deserve to get it.
      Along with cosmetic surgery I dont care how messed up you are, We the tax payers should not be REQUIRED to pool our money for it. I hate abortion but unless you are going to REALLY die if you dont get one, then you accept the responsibility and DEAL WITH IT.

      Anyone who is pro-abortion is pro-murder. Ironically, a prisoner who kills multiple people or children get free room and board and legal rights. Why should a baby not have those same rights?

      You know the father is biologically 50% owner of that child, but if the mother decides to keep the baby and wants NOTHING to do with the father, the father is required to financial responsible for the child. Insurance room and board WHILE the mother receives assistance. If the father has children of his own does he get a break? Nope 50% gross wages for one kid even if he had 30 kids. So the lets get this straight. What the libs are saying is they want their cake and eat it too… It’s a scam and nothing less than buying votes and keeping people as victims so that the cycle continues and a new liberal can start their brood.

      Just remember, the longer the victims covet the successful, there is SOME hope but MSM and others coddle these people into staying victims and they were wronged and nothing could have been done to prevent it.

      First for it to be murder, there has to be a person murdered. A clup of cells is not a person.

      Second you are comparing apples with dumptrucks. The conservatives are tell women they have no right to decide what is best for themselves. That women have no right to family planning or control over their own healthcare. The Healthcare law makes sure the majority of Americans can afford healthcare, while the FDA is concerned about product safety (you should read Sinclair’s Jungle). I understand logic is not the strong suit among you Beckerheads, but try to keep up.

      Here is a question that the establishment and Mitt Romney would have to answer for themselves. At what cost must Mitt Romney be the nominee President? How much is he willing to spend? Now I don’t want to separate his expense from that of the super pacs if we put them together, then we would get to understand the import of that question. At what cost.

      Each primary and each caucus is becoming a grinding battle in which he has to spend millions in ads to be able to win. The victory in Florida was squeaked out after over a combine $30m was spent. I stand corrected on those figures. In New Hampshire, another combined figure of about $12m was spent. In Iowa, about $18m. That right there is a about $60m, and we have only just had four states.

      If Newt stays till the end, Mitt should be looking at spending about half a Billion, at this pace. So here is the question again, a what cost Mitt? The longer this goes, the more we will see:
      • The harder it is for the party to come back together. Politics they say makes bed mates of strange fellows, but these bed mates are looking more like eternal foes.

      • If the primary goes until July, there is no way the party is going to have time to recover and regroup as ne to face the Obama machine.

      • Read my previous blog on what Obama has in store for this election and see how a tired, primary bruised and disunited GOP is no match and thus not ready for the Obama onslaught. Indeed we take the people for granted, that they will

      So, IDIOT, why is it considered a DOUBLE homicide if a person kills a pregnant woman? EH? You are IGNORANT and possibly borderline ****** for a statement like that. Once the baby has a heartbeat, it should be ruled as being a HUMAN BEING. Just because it‘s INSIDE the mother doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be considered anything. You are a fool for making such a statement. I guess as long as the baby is born, and they shove it back inside her real quick and KILL it, then it’s ok? You people are sick, you really are. You are either an IGNORANT man who doesn’t have a CLUE, or a FEMINAZI who wants every baby killed no matter what. What is wrong with you people?

Because the living child is in someone Else’s body give them the right to kill it? I guess if you stayed at my house I have the right to kill you? You are in my domain…right? Please answer this, where is that child’s right to decide if he or she gets to live? Where is the line drawn? If we are divided so much over this how can it be “legal”?

      All I know is, that is another human life and just because it is in another body does not mean you get to play god and determine if it gets to live. How is this any different than a preemie that is kept alive by feeding tubes and oxygen? One day history will look back at how evil and despicable a nation we were to let this happen.

      If a fetus is not a human being, why are people prosecuted for murder who cause an unborn child to die? The problem is, we are defining life by whatever the pregnant woman decides it is. If she doesn’t want it, it’s a blob of tissue., If she does, it suddenly and miraculously becomes a baby. I might add that the male involved has no say in the matter- if he wants the child but the woman does not, tough beans for him. If he doesn’t and she does, guess what? He‘s on the hook for child support and faces jail if he doesn’t pay it. We could not have created a more convoluted system if we set out to, but this is what we get when subjectivism replaces objective truth.

      Obama NEVER created a public insurance plan. The Affordable Care Act is still based on private insurance. The contraception mandate for employoers insurance plans is not paid for by the government, it is mandated. Private insurance has always been is regulated by the government as are all products sold in this country. Besides opening up insurance to more people the goal of the Affordable Health Care Act was to make healthcare more affordable and reduce the costs. By providing contraceptive coverage in preventative care, it not ny reduces teh costs of insurance for women and their families, but ti reduces the cost of health care to everyone by preventing unplanned pregnancies.

      Says you, you disgusting slug monster. It is illegal to kill a “fetus” (a word manufactured to avoid “baby”) by “fetal homicide” laws in approximately 38 states (per http://www.ncsl.org/issues-research/health/fetal-homicide-state-laws.aspx). Only a godless monster would assert that a baby is not human until it comes OUT of the mother (thus the use of “fetus”). It is the SAME baby the day before the birth as it is the day after;the only difference is what COURTS or LEGISLATORS declare. Their authority over FACTS is invalid. They may SAY it isn’t a baby, but their office does not magically endow them with the power to change reality. May God have mercy and open your blind, foolish, murderous eyes. What a moron to ASSERT (means present opinion as fact) that there is a single difference (aside from geography) between the completed human form prior to and post-birth.

The slippery eel, James Carville, the Democrat political hack, try though he may, could not skirt around that the bill had nothing to do with Roe v Wade, but had everything to do with refusing medical treatment to a baby born alive from a botched abortion. As William Bennett stated quite clearly and succinctly, the Illinois bill had the same language as the Federal Law on the same matter, but our lying and deceiving President still voted to deny medical treatment to a baby, a live birth, from a botched abortion, letting the baby die in agony on a table because medical treatment was not permitted. if that is not murder, I do not know what is.

    I may be wrong –it’s happened a few million times– but, from what I remember, what Obama did was to vote to deny money for a program to “care” for infants surviving “partial” abortions. First because he claimed it was already covered by another program. Then –when it was shown that it was not– he claimed there was no money for it. Then –when shown that there was money– still voted it down.

    The “care” by the way, was simply to make the infants few minutes/hours on earth more humane and comfortable…as there was no chance of surviving the procedure.

    That is a far cry from “voting to protect doctors who perform infanticide” & voting in FAVOR of infanticide.

    That is like all the twits who say Bush vetoed the clean water bill…”What does he have against clean water?”, when he reality he vetoed it because of all the earmarks and pork in it.

    Obama is a big enough nightmare without spinning what he’s done to the US just to make it sound even worse.

      The thing about contraception is that except for condoms-they are dangerous to women.that a otherwise healthy person will change her whole hormonal balance for yrs shows a foolish disregard for the human body.and of course there are consequences such as risk of fatal bloodclots and perhaps cancers..regardless of that -to willingly change your natural hormonal balance shows a lack common sense.such the workings of feminism which brainwashes people to go against what they naturally ,instinctively would oppose.The rhythm method is natural and all artifical modes of contraception do not give women a free ride.The life force is very powerful hence there are costs to health of artificial contraception and sex with condoms is not as satisfying as sex without.life is made to multiply.

You do understand that after the baby is born it cannot survive without the care of someone for about 3 years.They are still essentially dependent upon someone to keep them alive. I implore you never ever ever to have children and if you already do I feel for them.

      What’s preventing someone from walking up to a perfect stranger and shooting them in the head? Why can‘t they claim that they’re only carrying out a late-term abortion justified by some irrational convenience on their part?

      Just because abortion is legal doesn’t make it any less of a murderous act.

      So it’s fine for a woman to abort a baby huh? What about personal responsibility? If she didn’t want a baby, shouldn’t she have thought about that when she had her legs wide-open?

      DIVIDEDWEFALL: Ah, true radical feminist rationale…

      It appears you have drunk the liberal feminist koolaid so much you are besotted with the idea that a fetus is nothing more than a blob of cells until it is born, no matter what stage of development it is in.

      Men don’t want to commit to a relationship like in the old days. Stop and think about this: You are giving it away for free, and then when you end up pregnant, they feel it’s your responsibility to “take care of it”. All they wanted from you was the sex. However, women are NOT like men, & to have sex over & over again with many partners kills off any love feelings for a significant other – so that it becomes mechanical – not the beautiful act of love God meant it to be. Women actually go through hormonal changes in the body when having sex, which contributes to our desire to commit to someone we’ve had sex with. Not so with men. As women, we must be more thoughtful of our actions, because what we do affects our CHILDREN (in more ways than just having them).

      As a Christian, & as someone who knows firsthand the devastation an abortion can bring upon one’s llife, we are commanded to protect those who cannot protect themselves. God forgives us our sins, and I pray that you will be forgiven for yours, that you will know the love of Jesus and how LIBERATING that love truly is.

      Until then, keep your knees closed or get your tubes cut and cauterized. Then you can do no harm to a defenseless baby.

    If these are republican party debates, why is it always the socialist media that moderates? Perhaps that is the establishment GOP affiliation as well, otherwise the GOP would conduct it’s own debates with its own questions aimed at highlighting the radical and destructive agenda of the democrats.

    But Newt lowered the boom on that one. Ron Paul still won the debate. He lowered the boom of Obama and all the rest of them for being traitors to the constitution and the rule of law.

    Newt Gingrich is more and more like Sean Hannity by the hour. There is no outrageous distortion or lie this man will not resort to. While in the Illinois Senate Barack Obama opposed a back door anti-abortion effort to declare a fetus a person, which would have, in effect, outlawed abortion. A woman’s right to choose was and is the law of the land…and Barack Obama did not in favor of legalizing anything Gingrich claims. Newt Gingrich is a divisive, desperate liar.

      I lived in the state while he was a senator.
      Newt Gingrich is perfectly accurate.
      You, sir, a da*ned liar.

      Even the 2008 CNN report backs up what Gingrich says.
      http://youtu.be/QPZCXcTwZPY

      Obama not only voted against Born Alive, he was the sole senator to speak against it on the senate floor – 2 years in a row.

      The federal version of Born Alive passed unanimously 98-0 in the US Senate with Sens. Kennedy and Boxer speaking in support on the senate floor. It passed overwhelmingly by voice vote in the US House. President Bush signed it into law on August 5, 2002.

      As chairman of the IL Senate Health & Human Services Committee, Obama singlehandedly stopped the identical wording of the federal bill from being introduced in IL in 2003.

      The bill that Obama voted against in the Illinois Senate was simply a popular ploy of the anti-abortion crowd at the time…slipping in language that declared a fetus a human being, on which to piggyback the next step of trying to outlaw abortion. Obama NEVER voted in favor legalizing anything Gingrich says…abortion was already legal, and still is. How could Obama have voted to “legalize” something that was already legal? It was already the law in Illinois that once the fetus was removed from the womb then it had to be given care. Some of you lie and distort as bad as Newt Gingrich.

      The one thing I’ll always remember about Obama is the fact he voted for Late Term Abortion, which, if the baby lives through all the administered chemicals, it’s thrown into a closet etc. to die. I remember a nurse told about finding a living, aborted, baby in the laundry room, and she cradled it because of the inhumanity of such actions of late term abortion. And Obama approved of this form of death of a baby.

      Newt won this debate with his knowledge and decisive opinions of every question. Romney did will, and Santorum did a good job (if he’d ever learn when to quit talking), and of course, Ron Paul always
      has the best answers (if I could trust his foreign policies) otherwise, it was good for all 4 guys.
