Playing with deadly words

This is an amazing statement by Hillary Clinton, as quoted by the BBC news site this morning:

Both Mrs Clinton and Mr Obama are courting the religious vote, which holds considerable clout in US politics.
The two were asked if they thought life began at conception.
"I believe that the potential for life begins at conception," said Mrs Clinton.
"But for me, it is not only about the potential life, but the other lives involved."

So, Mrs Clinton, just when does the "potential for life" end? She's playing with words the way she also wants people to play with life itself.
