Rand Paul is a pro-life Senator from Kentucky who appears poised to become one of the candidates for the Republican nomination for president in 2016. Although he has a strong pro-life voting record, Paul is making comments about abortion that are concerning pro-lifers.

randpaul3As LifeNews reported earlier this year, Paul said in an interview that Republicans should agree to disagree on social issues.

Now, in a new interview, Paul says he doesn’t anticipate changing the laws on abortion and added that his belief that life begins at conception is a personal and religious one, not a scientific viewpoint.

He’s dead to me. Was already, but this is the last nail in the coffin.

Rand Paul is a moron...
Agreed. Rand Paul's only difference from liberals is lip service about smaller less intrusive government, but I never hear him talk about how he helped to reduce government in Kentucky and show that as an example.

He talks a lot about advancing his liberal social positions though.

You express a cynical notion of God. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and the knowledge of the Holy is understanding.

Jesus was slaughtered for the “social issues” but as we so recently observed, He prevails! A nation that has been on child sacrifice afterburner for 40 years is ripe. Ending the Fed or grounding UAVs ain't going to save us.

I wondered how long the conservative façade would fall off, and his paternal upbringing would show through.

SHOUT all you WANT!!!!!

"Social issues" are pretty important to MOST Americans. No need to ban you..just educate. LIFE is not a SOCIAL issue... it is THE most IMPORTANT issue. Without a right to life, to our humanity... we have nothing.

yeah, the egg and sperm are not independent beings until they are united. that was my (unstated but should have been obvious) point.

My tongue and gum cells are “alive”, too, but I shed many of them regularly through brushing, etc.

Once an entirely new human “animal” is created, though, he or she deserves protection of the law.

Sorry, I didn’t watch it. I relied upon the report. Is the reporting untrue?

This "personal belief" dodge is irrational.

All laws are based on our personal beliefs. If you (personally) believe that the developing human being is a baby, and you are pro-abortion, then you are a monster.

Wow. Planned Parenthood must have pictures of him with a donkey.

This is beyond moronic. He should be embarrassed.

“belief that life begins at conception is a personal and religious one, not a scientific viewpoint.”

Where does he say that?

Kindly cue the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAKVafMddTg&t=ns

Here's my cue: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAKVafMddTg&t=67s

He knows damn well life begins at conception.

Which is what he said in the video. Actually, I believe he said it twice.

We can be governed by the Creator that our Declaration claims endowed us with our inalienable rights and blessings...

...or by God, we'll be GOVERNED to the nth degree by self worshipping, petty, corrupt, confiscatory, oppressive, murdering, narcissistic tyrants

You can’t contest my facts or show any Republican senator who is as pro-life as Rand, so you resort to ad hominem attacks on him and his father. Go back to DU, you will find many friends of like mind and intelligence.
