After repeated recent statements by US President Joe Biden that he does not believe human life begins at the moment of conception, or characterising such a belief as a matter of faith, scientists and doctors have pointed out that this belief can be arrived at through natural reason – science – alone.
What has Biden said about the beginning of human life?
On March 2, EWTN Correspondent Owen Jensen asked Biden, “Why do you support abortion as a Catholic, defying Church teaching?”
“I don’t want to get into a debate with you about theology,” Biden responded, adding, “I’m not going to make a judgment for other people.”
And in September 2021, Biden had said, “I respect those who believe life begins at the moment of conception. I don’t agree, but I respect that. I’m not going to impose that on people.”
