Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) spoke on March 14, 2013 at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C. (CNSNews/Penny Starr)
“Just because we believe that life – all human life – is worthy of protection at every state of its development does not make you a chauvinist,” Rubio said, speaking on opening day of the three-day event featuring workshops and speeches by Rubio and other rising stars in the Republican Party.
The senator defended traditional marriage and chided liberals for believing in climate change and not the scientific facts of conception.
“In fact, the people who are actually closed minded in American politics are the people that love to preach about the certainty of science in regard to our climate, but ignore the absolute fact that science has proven that life begins at conception.”
Although the next presidential race is almost four years away, Rubio’s speech had all the makings of a campaign speech as he used the occasion to outline his plan for ending the national debt and deficit, reigning in the cost of a college education while promoting vocational training and the importance of American exceptionalism.
“If we do what we are supposed to do, we will always be what we were destined to be – the single greatest nation in the history of the world,” Rubio said.
