SANTORUM: If the baby's foot was inside the mother but the rest of the baby was outside, could that baby be killed?
BOXER: The baby is born when the baby is born. That is the answer to the question.
SANTORUM: I am asking for you to define for me what that is: the baby is being born.
BOXER: In the process of being born, to me it is obvious when a baby is born; to you it isn't obvious.
SANTORUM: Maybe you can make it obvious to me. What you are suggesting is if the baby's toe is still inside of the mother that baby can then still be killed?
BOXER: Absolutely not.
SANTORUM: OK. So if the baby's toe is in, you can't kill the baby. How about if the baby's foot is in? We are trying to draw a line here.
BOXER: I am not answering these questions.
