Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) appears to be a double-minded man on abortion. How he can last week be the primary sponsor for a Life at Conception bill and then the following week tell CNN in an interview that there are “thousands of exceptions” is beyond me. The Hill reports:

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said Tuesday he’s open to “thousands of exceptions” to a ban on abortion.

Paul has said he believes life begins at conception, but in an interview with CNN the Republican emphasized he is also a physician who treats each case individually.

“What I would say is that there are thousands of exceptions,” Paul told CNN host Wolf Blitzer in response to a question about exceptions to a ban.

“You know, I’m a physician and every individual case is going to be different and everything’s going to be particular to that individual case and what’s going on with that mother and the medical circumstances of that mother,” he said.

The comments come just a week after Paul, a possible White House contender in 2016, introduced the “Life at Conception Act.”

********************
Rand Paul is an Opthomologist, not an OB/GYN, like his dad.

I don’t think his knowledge of eyes translates to the other regions of physiology of the human body.

This guy is burning bridges before he comes to them, not after he’s crossed them. ...He’s a loser to Conservatives.
