“My faith tells me that life begins at conception. My faith tells me that abortion is wrong. My faith tells me that it’s a sin,” Hostin said, later adding, “My point has been all along is that you can’t define the pro-life movement by the fringe that you see, people that are killing abortion doctors, people who are extremists. I think we can all agree that abortion is not a good thing… It’s nothing something anyone wants to do.”
