Above your pay grade?

Can anyone not be confused by Democratic responses to the question "When does human life begin?"

At the Compassion Forum held on April 13th, 2008, Senator Obama was asked, "Do you personally believe that life begins at conception and if not, when does it begin?" Here is his answer: "You know, I, I ah, this, this is something that I had not, ah, I think come to a firm resolution on, ah I think it's very hard to know what that means, when life begins. Is it when a cell separates? Is it when ah, the soul stirs? Ah, so I don't presume to, to know the answer to that question. Ah, what I know ah, as I've said before is that, ah, there is something extraordinarily powerful about potential life and that, ah, has a moral weight to it that ah, we take into consideration when we're having these debates."

However, in a speech on Father's Day 2008, Senator Obama said "We need fathers to recognize that their responsibility doesn't just end at conception."

A week ago at the Saddleback Church interview, Senator Obama was asked, "At what point does a baby get human rights, in your view?" He responded, "Well, you know I, I think that whether you're looking at it from a theological perspective or ah, a scientific perspective, ah, answering that question with specificity, ah, you know is, is ah above my pay grade." See his complete answer to this question here:

Now listen to self-described ardent Catholic and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi during an interview this morning on Meet the Press, as she blathers on with the incredible claim that the Catholic Church over centuries has not answered the question of when life begins. Frankly put, I felt that I needed a shower after listening to this slippery misinformation being spewed by one of the most powerful woman in Congress.

Please forgive me for oversimplifying if I put the question this way: If a father becomes a father at conception and has responsibilities beyond conception as stated by Senator Obama, when does a mother become a mother and when does a baby become a baby?
