As Twitchy reported earlier, CNN’s Chris Cuomo on Monday night had as guests Rick Santorum and Christine Quinn debating abortion, with Cuomo pretty obviously siding with Quinn, who offered up scientific facts such as, “When a woman is pregnant, that is not a human being inside of her.”
It’s a good thing we have the party of science to set us straight on such issues as when that clump of cells becomes a baby (when it’s “wanted” and when it “looks” like a baby … science).
Cuomo must have received a lot of backlash from viewers because on Tuesday morning he explained the need to explain “the medical realities” of the procedures … which, of course, CNN will never, ever show.
Having non experts discuss abortion is shameful @cnn @ChrisCuomo and just creates more chaos and lies https://t.co/B0Reth8Bjo

Really @ChrisCuomo it’s disingenuous to have non experts on to discuss abortion.
— Jennifer Gunter (@DrJenGunter) May 7, 2019
Disingenuous? No. There is certainly a need to explain the medical realities of the procedures and the risks to women of losing access to care but this is about politics mostly – and the pro- life position is more about faith and feeling than fact. But I pursue both avenues https://t.co/iTO2VQZwhh

Got that? The pro-life position, which believes human life begins at conception, is more about faith and feeling than fact. And the pro-choicers, who believe it’s a baby when they decide it’s a baby, aren’t driven by feelings but fact. Got it.
Understanding how babies are made and where they come from is only a matter of faith if you’re an idiot. Did Mommy and Daddy forget to give you The Talk? Is that why you’re having such a tough time here? https://t.co/5IDEhkCqN5

Good sciencing there, fact guy.

@ChrisCuomo is a science denier.
— Trinity J Ranch ?? (@TrinityJRanch) May 7, 2019
What’s lost on @ChrisCuomo is that it isn’t science that decided when it’s a life, they punted.. it’s judges that decided (from all their medical training) that it isn’t a life until it’s out of the womb and until then it’s nothing more than an ‘optional life’

The amount of idiocy in this response. It's a question of if you're willing to kill a life or not. Some people are and I fundamentally disagree but don't try and change the language. That's the discussion and to try and twist this into faith and feelings is absolutely ridiculous.

@ChrisCuomo do you not have any friends that call you out on your BS?

Dumb as s rock. My apologies to all the rocks.

Please enlighten us on the scientific facts of gestation to which we superstitious pro-lifers apparently are not privy
— Allie Beth Stuckey (@conservmillen) May 7, 2019
It's a shame that @ChrisCuomo won't respond to or debate @conservmillen. He is afraid of strong, conservative women.

Chris pro-life is completely about fact. A human life is ended. Period. There is a whole branch of medicine dedicated to doing the opposite and babies are living outside the womb earlier and earlier. Doctors operate on babies in the womb. Facts.

There's a clip going 'round of your guest saying that's not a human in there. If I believed my child was no different than an eyelash until her mother somehow willed her into being a human being, I could defend what your guest and so many on this thread are defending.

I think you should discuss abortion with @benshapiro I'm willing to bet it would be a lively and informative conversation.
— Cody Endrizzi (@CEndrizzi) May 7, 2019
And it would last 36 seconds before Cuomo's collapse.
— Bob Madia (@BobMadia1) May 7, 2019
https://t.co/iUfR3eyc8v FACT: Most abortions are not performed to save the life of the mother. Most are done because women don't use birth control and don't want a baby. It's an inconvenience. Any abortion after the baby feels pain is barbaric.

Liberals get upset when men have anything to say on abortion especially if it's a pro life stance. Why doesn't the same rule apply for pro choice liberals who try to tell pro life women what abortion is and that our arguments are just feelings not fact? #SitDownAndShutUp

“Access to care” is my favorite euphemism for killing
