Senator and CPAC straw poll winner Rand Paul (R-KY) introduced the “Life at Conception Act” on Thursday afternoon. He then went to Twitter and tweeted the following:

According to Senator Paul, S 583 “does not amend or interpret the Constitution, but simply relies on the 14th Amendment, which specifically authorizes Congress to enforce its provisions.

From Section 1 of the 14th Amendment:

“No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

The Life at Conception Act legislatively declares what most Americans believe and what science has long known- that human life begins at the moment of conception, and therefore is entitled to legal protection from that point forward,” Sen. Paul said. “The right to life is guaranteed to all Americans in the Declaration of Independence and ensuring this is upheld is the Constitutional duty of all Members of Congress.”

The substance of the bill reads,

“To implement equal protection for the right to life of each born and preborn human person, and pursuant to the duty and authority of the Congress, including Congress’ power under article I, section 8, to make necessary and proper laws, and Congress’ power under section 5 of the 14th article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States, the Congress hereby declares that the right to life guaranteed by the Constitution is vested in each human being. Nothing in this Act shall be construed to require the prosecution of any woman for the death of her unborn child.”

This would be a major step forward, for if this legislation were to pass, then it would most certainly be a defining moment on the abortion issue. Life is given by God and as such should be protected, especially among the most vulnerable among us.

Good going Rand! This will send the abortomaniacs into a frenzy.

[SoConPubbie]

On this, I can absolutely agree with Rand Paul.

On his Amnesty plan, absolutely not!

I just hope that somehow, some day, that this man is put on our ticket in 2016. I hope he doesn’t have any demons in his closet and will be able to stand up to the garbage-can searches and intimidation that he’ll be subjected to.

[Servant of the Cross]

Nowadays, with scientific advancement and breakthroughs, anyone who denies that Life Begins At Conception is ANTI-SCIENCE ...

Now THIS. This is what I'm talking about. As a true SoCon, I can get behind a man like this. I may have to overlook some of his liberaltarian viewpoints and his soft-on-immigration policies. But first and foremost - If a person is right on the fundamental issues of abortion, then other values are usually correct as well.

Well, I think all thinking and principled conservatives can agree that he has one "demon" in his closet, Amnesty.

Where you at LJ? A little good news for the Moral Absolutes Pinglist.

Eliminate the Death Penalty for the pre-born!

No, this is the demon they will use to ruin him. He hates women and kidnaps them.

One thing I appreciate about Paul... at least he’s putting ideas out on the table. Obviously, they aren’t ones we are always going to agree with, but he’s at least putting some brain cells to use. He’s still better than the rest of the herd, IMO.

I know . . . not sure what he's thinking . . . all that does is give the dems more votes . . .

He's not just soft on illegal Immigration, he's flat out wrong with his Amnesty stance.

His position on Pro-Life issues has already been 100% correct as far as I have been able to find out.

His desire for the suicide pact that is his amnesty plan, precludes him from any serious consideration as POTUS.

It shows a lack of character and principle and those are the two most important characteristics of a leader.

Furthermore, by that one simple act of Amnesty, he destroys both the GOP and the Country by adding a lop-sided number of Democrat voters.

No thanks on the POTUS suggestion.

When does life begin, When one of the parties says “Oh G*D”! :-)!

Rand needs to put a “NO JUDICAL REVIEW” clause in this as well.

I don't know why this is not paragraphing for me??? The Supreme Court in Roe vs Wade THE SUPREME COURT RULINGS The Supreme Court’s abortion rulings include four principal elements: 1 The unborn child is a non-person and therefore has no constitutional rights; ================== The only thing that needs to be done to overturn Roe vs Wade is to get them to agree that the unborn baby is a person. Here is a definition of a person according to Webster (I'm sure the left has their own made of definition of person to keep abortion alive) per·son noun \ˈpər-sən\ Definition of PERSON 1 human, individual —sometimes used in combination especially by those who prefer to avoid man in compounds applicable to both sexes. 2 a character or part in or as if in a play : guise 3 a:one of the three modes of being in the Trinitarian Godhead as understood by Christians b : the unitary personality of Christ that unites the divine and human natures 4 a archaic : bodily appearance b the body of a human being; also : the body and clothing 5 the personality of a human being : self 6 one (as a human being, a partnership, or a corporation) that is recognized by law as the subject of rights and duties 7 reference of a segment of discourse to the speaker, to one spoken to, or to one spoken of as indicated by means of certain pronouns or in many languages by verb inflection So, with today technology we should be able to overturn it. The problem we face is thinking like Peter Singer of Princeton who says humans must be self-aware He thinks parents should be allowed to abort (kill) a child up to approximately 2 years or when a doctor decides they are self-aware. SICK, I know.
