I know nothing about Rand’s stand on abortion.

But I do know his father’s stance. While I do not support Ron Paul on many issues, I do know that his pro-life record is among the best of any politican in the nation.

FWIW.

The prolifers who object to Rand’s position are doing so on a principled basis. Rand would say he is prolife, but he defers to federalism by defending the right of individual states to continue aborting babies as they see fit. Murder is murder is murder, and while individual states may vary in how they punish it, the fundamental right, both natural and constitutional, to life remains a universal obligation to defend, and not something individual states can opt out of. That is a legitimate criticism of Rand’s prolife posturing, and Dobson is turning a small mistake into a big one.

Then why did he insist an underage girl be allowed to cross state lines in order to get an abortion?
