For Steve King, life begins at conception — and abortion talk begins in kindergarten.
In an interview with CNSnews.com last week, King (R-IA) said: “I often go into a high school auditorium, or meet with people at even the K-12 level in their entirety, and I’ll tell them, you’ll be asked to answer one of the most profound moral questions of our age, and that is: ‘Where do you stand on the abortion issue?’”
He continued: “You have to pick an instant, and there’s only one instant, and that’s the instant at conception.”
