May 8, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – Former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) got into a heated debate Monday with CNN host Chris Cuomo and panelist Christine Quinn, both of whom emphatically denied that a baby growing in a mother’s womb is a separate human being.

Cuomo began the segment by asking Quinn, the president and CEO of the New York homelessness organization Win, to react to the current wave of bills that seek to ban abortion as soon as a fetal heartbeat can be detected. “This is a clear attempt to take decisions about a woman's body and birth out of the hands of a woman and out of the hands of doctors,” she said. “And that, to me, is really shocking.”

When Santorum’s turn to speak came, he challenged both of them on their framing that “this is all about choice, all about a woman's right.” No, he argued, “it's all about the life of a little baby. And - and you can invalidate that and say that - that doesn't matter. But to millions of Americans, it does matter, and it's not that we hate women or want to violate women, but we truly do care about the life of that child on the woman, and we think a good society protects those children.” [Read full article here]
