Oh, Lord, even you're drinking the Eternal Vigilance Kool-Ade on this? Before you get into bed with that crowd, you should know that they smeared the crap out of a good pro-life man like Herman Cain with that nonsense.
The EV argument and the Paul argument are very similar, just two sides of the coin. Both claim the issue is there way or no way. EV says it is national only and if you don’t buy that, you aren’t pro life. Paul says that state’s rights trump individual rights and it is up to the states to determine that and that it isn’t a national issue. Both are defining their position by that.
This is different than what many candidates say in regards to the state strategy. They aren’t going either extreme, they are discussing what is strategically most efficient.
I’ve had many knock downs w/ EV over this one. There is a difference between using a state-by-state strategy for efficiently ending the practice and, doing like Paul says, saying that State’s rights trump individual rights.
