CNN: No One Knows When Human-Life Begins

August 09, 2017

An exchange between Matt Schlapp, chairman of the American Conservative Union (ACU), and CNN’s Chris Cuomo Tuesday about the White House’s credibility turned into a revealing exchange over whether abortion was about science or religion.

“You’re wrong on the science many of you who believe that people on the pro-life side aren’t looking at the science of it, ” Schlapp said. “Come on the science is on my side on the unique human nature of every child.”

“It’s not about science, it’s about ethics, religion, morality is what abortion is about, it’s not about science, ” Cuomo replied. “Nobody’s making abortion about science I haven’t even brought abortion up.”

“Abortion is about science, ” Schlapp insisted.

“The idea of when life begins, guess what?” Cuomo continued. “Nobody knows. You can believe it begins at conception. You can believe it begins 40 days after the way the Jews do, you can believe in viability.”

“I’ll just believe in the science, ” Schlapp replied.

“There is an unknown component to it, ” Cuomo claimed.

“No, there’s not.”

“That’s not what the science is behind climate change, Matt, they’re not the same thing, ” Cuomo added.

“The science of when life begins is unquestionable and the question on climate change actually there’s a great diversity on the science, ” Schlapp said.
