Pro-life is a libertarian issue too.

[Joe 6-pack]

The dims always insist that repubs are ‘anti-science’, but any (honest) student of high school biology knows a unique organism is formed at conception.

Thank you, National Pro Life Alliance and Senator Rand Paul.

Signed, but it cost me $10.

Hey, the election is over, it is now safe to pander to conservatives since it has absolutely no chance of happening

[Sherman Logan]

By following the powers offered to Congress in the Constitution, passage of the Life at Conception Act would reverse Roe v. Wade without the need for a constitutional amendment.

Paul is wrong. The Constitution nowhere specifies that Congress has the power to redefine terms used in the Constitution.

Such a law, if it passed, which it certainly won't due to a Democratic Senate, would be of advisory force only to the Supreme Court, which is the logical and traditional, though also not specified, body to define terms used in the Constitution.

I think Roe was an atrocious decision, but it is not going to be overturned. The odds are Obama will nominate two or more Justices, locking in liberal domination of the Court for decades.

Elections have consequences, and this one is really going to screw us over.

What Congress could do is pass a law similar to this, and remove any review of it from the Court's jurisdiction.

I would hope that if there still is an America and we still elections in 2016 that Rand Paul would throw his hat in the ring for Pres. This guy can speak and make his point and I have yet to see him step in it.

It's in the chromosomes....IIRC, Only half are the mothers yet she claims sole ownership of a living human being and a right to murder it. Unbelievable.

And further, you can't own another human being.

[KrisKrinkle]

I didn’t see the words of the proposed legislation anywhere in this.

Tax the abortionist AND the “patient” for each abortion by dividing the entire cost of breast cancer from the previous years.

While I agree with the sentiment, I agree with Madison that the Constitution should be interpreted attributing meanings to the words as they were understood and intended by the people who wrote and ratified them.

The propostion that the people who wrote and ratified the 14th Amendment intended and understood it to outlaw the practice of abortion, and then failed to comply with their own intent seems dubious.
