Well, it sounds like you believe in some exceptions, Blitzer pressed.
Well, there is going to be, like I say, thousands of extraneous situations where the life of the mother is involved and other things that are involved, the senator responded.
Here, I was going to be supportive of Rand Paul. And then, he pulls out the weasel excuses for murdering the unborn. Seems there is nothing I can trust him on.
So much for being a leader.

the life (not "health") of the mother "Self defense" isn't murder...IF the life of the mother is truly in imminent danger, AND there is no other reasonable way to save her.

Well, you're problem, if you are truly pro-life, is that Rand Paul doesn't stop there.
Also, true situations where the Mother's life is actually in danger, is usually a tubal ligation and the baby probably isn't going to survive anyway.
There are very, very few real situations where the Mother's life is truly in danger. Just another way for the left, and those truly not pro-life to make excuses for murdering the unborn.

Sounds like ole Rand has been in DC long enough he's learned the DC two-step well enough to instruct Phd post grad classes in it!
Yes, Rand is even smoother than his daddy, who blurts out so many offensive statements that he'd never get the Presidential not but Rand, he's got it down pat and can be on both sides of the same coin in the same sentence, that even makes John F'in Kerry envious!

Conventional wisdom seems to be that standing firmly against abortion for spurious reasons, like rape and incest, makes one seem "heartless."
Carving out irrational and purely emotion-driven exceptions to the right to life makes the people who do it seem crazy and dangerous to me.
I wouldn't be able to pander to the irrational, ignorant, crazy and dangerous, no matter how well it paid.

He denied the press the sound bite they were looking for.

Akinophobia. Fear of clear, consistent prolife statements because if you don’t handle it exactly right, the left will make you pay. Or so goes the phobia.
To: ApplegateRanch
Forget logic...
PDS has found a new home. Anyone with the last name “Paul”, possibly including the late Pope John Paul, is subject to flying monkeys flinging feces.
“Doesn’t matter what he says or what his legislation will do. He’s a Paul so fling your poo...”

How many other Republicans have been willing to tie their name to a pro-life bill? At least Rand has done that unlike other Republicans that have shunned the unborn and treat pro-life as dirty words. The media is looking for an “Akin moment” to bring down any pro-life conservative.
To: SeekAndFind
Answer should be:
“When somebody proposes such legislation, I’ll be happy to discuss it.”
“The simple fact is that this red hering has been around for 40 years to paint pro-lifer’s as extreme.”
“50 Million Americans would be alive today, if these conditions had been applied at the time of Roe v Wade.”
“So, Wolf, Why don’t you ever ask pro-abortion zealots, why they haven’t introduced legislation, to limit access to abortion, in this manner?”

He’s purposing the most pro-life/anti-abortion bill we’ve seen in decades... But that still isn’t good enough for the PDS suffers.

Let’s take care of the 80% and talk about the 20% extraneous “exceptions” after we do.

NO, not saying that. My wife and I actually had to.
That being said, after we had done that, sometime later, we heard that the doctors were experimenting with reimplanting the embryo from a tubal ligation into the uterus.
Wish they had been able to do that when we had to go through that horrific procedure.
Once they perfect that medical procedure, there will be one less reason to terminate the life of the unborn.

Good answer. He didn’t let himself be painted into a box.
One thing in reading his answer that comes to mind is: Isn’t he an optometrist?
How many births are optometrists involved with in his state?

Sorry, but I am not interested in someone who can't be honest and courageous.
Rand Paul, with his lying about his Amnesty plan and now this, can't be trusted.

I disagree. I think he’s trying to be honest. He’s a doctor and his father is a doctor. Yet he’s also a legislator whose charge it is to decide on the rules in such matters. In one person a particular issue could affect the life of the mother but in another it might not. And he’s got to work that out as both a doctor and a legislator. But he’s actually thinking about it, not being kneejerk or worrying about the politics. That’s a virtue.
To: MrB
I think the point of the legislation is that no termination should happen without due process. This means that you cannot just contract with an abortionist to kill your baby without some court somewhere reviewing the case. The actual effect of this would be nullify most abortions immediately, but still allow for the possibility that a mother could have a reason that permits her to terminate. If the anti-Paul zealots can’t understand this then they were never going to be useful anyway.
