What Is An Organism? Or, Why The Abortionist Must Be Fundamentalist When It Comes to Biological Science
Mrs. BOXER. I don’t believe in kill- ing any human being. That is abso- lutely correct. Nor do you, I am sure.Mr. SANTORUM. So you would ac- cept the fact that once the baby is sep- arated from the mother, that baby can- not be killed?
Mrs. BOXER. I support the right— and I will repeat this, again, because I saw you ask the same question to an- other Senator.
Mr. SANTORUM. All the Senator has to do is give me a straight answer.
Mrs. BOXER. Define ‘‘separation.’’ You answer that question.
Mr. SANTORUM. Let’s define that. Let’s say the baby is completely sepa- rated; in other words, no part of the baby is inside the mother.
Mrs. BOXER. You mean the baby has been birthed and is now in the mother’s arms? It is a human being? It takes a second, it takes a minute——
Mr. SANTORUM. Say it is in the ob- stetrician’s hands.
Mrs. BOXER. I had two babies, and within seconds of them being born——
Mr. SANTORUM. We had six. Mrs. BOXER. You didn’t have any. Mr. SANTORUM. My wife and I did.
We do things together in my family. Mrs. BOXER. Your wife gave birth. I gave birth. I can tell you, I know when
the baby was born. Mr. SANTORUM. Good. All I am ask-
ing you is, once the baby leaves the mother’s birth canal and is through the vaginal orifice and is in the hands of the obstetrician, you would agree you cannot then abort the baby?
Mrs. BOXER. I would say when the baby is born, the baby is born and would then have every right of every other human being living in this coun- try, and I don’t know why this would even be a question.
Mr. SANTORUM. Because we are talking about a situation here where the baby is almost born. So I ask the question of the Senator from Cali- fornia, if the baby was born except for the baby’s foot, if the baby’s foot was inside the mother but the rest of the baby was outside, could that baby be killed?
