[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

My, what a champion of the unborn. He's personally opposed, but . . .

Perhaps you should re-read the quote again. He said no federal law. That means it goes back to the states. It's a federalist position, the same position as Fred Thompson's.

He said no federal law.

In other words, he opposes Congressional action to address the judicial legislation represented by Roe v. Wade and he opposes a Human Life Amendment.

EEE: The idea of merely returning the abortion question to the states will guarantee the institutionalization of abortion for many years to come. Not that Paul has the slightest chance of nomination by any real political party, but he would nominate what to the SCOTUS??? Libertoonian moonbats??? People who spend their waking hours in pseudo-"constitutionalist" contortions???

Fred Thompson and Duncan Hunter and Tom Tancredo would not waste time looking for libertoonian crazies but would nominate SCOTUS justices in the mode of Scalia or Thomas or Roberts or Alito. When Roe is no more, then we go for federal personhood, hopefully in the same decision after about two more SCOTUS appointments.

On abortion as on war, paleoPaulie is a gutless two-faced do nothing wimp. He will never be acceptable as a GOP nominee for POTUS.
