Sorry if FReepers attacking Paul's lifelong pro-life record got to me for a minute there. I guess FReepers are not the kind Christian folks I thought they were.
Good God, he wants to practically dismantle the federal government
He has repeatedly said there'd be a transition period regarding entitlement programs, and that he'd work with Congress on downsizing departments. The government's not going to get abolished overnight, so keep enjoying your handouts.
how is such a skeleton federal entity going to stop abortion, by "leaving it to the States"
You really need to take a civics class. Abortion was regulated by the states until Roe vs Wade. Paul's position on abortion is a federalist position You know, the same position shared by the almighty Fred Thompson but if you would take the time to read his writings instead of letting your seething rage of the man get in the way of logic, you'd see that he has gone beyond federalism and proposed two bills that would have instantly killed Roe vs Wade.
If you "know he's a kook", why on Earth would you waste ANY time at all defending such a kook?
If you say he's a kook, then Paul's a kook. After all, Paul's a pro-abortionist, right?
