It is not his view of when life starts that is the issue to me... it is that he said no laws will be made to change current abortion laws...that people had to be persuaded.
Watch the video and tell me Rand Paul is not being Romney wishy washy re abortion. It was a tough thing to watch, because Paul was trying to staddle the middle...and all he managed was to offend most everyone.
He could have touted the bill he introduced re abortion...but he chose not to do that because he was afraid to appear “too conservative”.
WE ARE BEING slaughtered with social issues!!!! WAR ON WOMEN,
STARVING CHILDREN AND GRANDMA, it IS NEVER ending!!!! Our
candidates NEEED to concentrate on SMALLER GOVERNMENT,
IRS, SPYING, LAND STEALING, GOVERNMENT WASTE, with our
dollars, JOBS, ECONOMY, ect., ect., worry about the social issues WHEN
we have SMALLER GOVERNMENT!!!!! WE should ALL remember how
LONG it has taken for this republic to come to this, WE can NOT expect
a PERFECT candidate, VOTE FOR SMALLER GOVERNMENT then fight
for social issues small steps, inch by inch the same way they succeeded!!!!
I wasn’t addressing that.
It’s legitimate to discuss his ACTUAL STATEMENTS.
However, most of this thread is people addressing something he did not say. I find that very dishonest.
If he were President he would not be able to unilaterally change the law. So factually he is correct, the law is not going to be changed directly by him (or anyone else) who might be elected President. The fact that he is so pro-Life however means he could use the office to promote his views and use persuasion to change the public’s opinions on abortion ... something he mentioned over and over in the video.
