G.o.t. Kingdom?

With Newt Gingrich’s declaration of his belief that life does not begin at conception, but implantation, he is sure to upset many evangelical Christians and Catholics. But I would make the case that there is a lot of biblical support for his opinion.
Not that the Bible states explicitly when life begins, but (and I think more importantly) it does tell the believer when there is a soul.
Leviticus 17:11
“For the life of the flesh is in the blood…”
Here the Hebrew word nephesh is translated life, but most of the time it is translated soul. It does not say how the soul could be in the blood. Is it in the red blood cells, in the white blood cells, in the platelets, or in the plasma? No matter. If blood is moving around, the soul is there. No blood, no soul.
So when does blood appear in the embryo? Cell differentiation does not begin until about 4-5 days after fertilization. Implantation occurs on the seventh day. By the twelfth day, there are the three germ layers that will become the various tissues of the embryo, one of which (the mesoderm) will form the blood cells for the embryo.
None of the germ layers would form were no implantation to occur. No one would mourn the loss of an embryo prior to implantation. It probably happens scores of times in a normal woman’s life. It is too early even to be called a miscarriage.
Principled biblical Christians should support pro-life candidates like Newt Gingrich and not reject him because he is more in line with God’s word than the “life begins at conception” hard-liners.
