Your proof of this assertion would be...?
The recording is in the third "update" down the page.
Rand Paul says:
1. "I believe life begins at conception."
2. "Roe vs. Wade should be overturned."
3. "I think we should make Roe v. Wade part of our philosophy as far as states' rights, in believing that the states should have the prerogative over this."
Blackmun knew that the Fourteenth Amendment protects all innocent PERSONs. That's why in Roe he said that if the fetus is a person they are OF COURSE protected by the Amendment.
The Pauls admit that they are a person and then assert that the States can allow their killing if they want to. It's nonsense. Fatal nonsense. Fatal to the babies and fatal to the foundations of this free republic.
The Pauls consistently pretend that the Fourteenth Amendment does not exist.
However, I think our new party's Reaganite pro-life platform is much more to the point, and therefore vastly superior:
Equal rights for our posterityBecause the stated ultimate purpose of the United States Constitution is "to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our posterity," we recognize the personhood of all unborn children and their protection by the Fifth and the Fourteenth Amendments.
The right to life of all innocent persons, from fertilization to natural death, is God-given and unalienable. That is why we consider it to be a moral imperative to fully establish in law that Personhood is granted by our Creator to all human beings from the very beginning of their biological development.
For the principled man or woman, no compromise is possible concerning such a critical matter of life and death. We believe that violators of this supreme right, in words or actions, are unfit for any office of public trust, since any such violation constitutes the breaking of the oath of office and the ultimate destruction of the very basis of our liberty.
