Newt Gingrich clarifies: life begins at fertilization
Last week, Newt Gingrich told ABC News that he believes life begins at implantation.
Today, Joe DeSantis, Communications Director for Newt 2012, told me:
To be clear, Newt believes that human life begins at conception, that is, at the moment of fertilization.
This distinction is crucial. Gingrich has said he supports Congress enacting pro-life legislation under the 14th Amendment, including legislation that would define personhood as beginning at conception.
