There should be a law that would prevent a woman who was raped from immediately going to a hospital and getting a shot of estrogen to prevent her from becoming pregnant?
That is what Ron Paul said, “immediately” after being raped. What he actually said matters to me, not what others say he said as is so often the case here and elsewhere.
Having read Ron Paul’s words from the article this thread is on, I consider Ron Paul the most pro-life one running and that he sees a plan to actually stop millions of abortions and that he wants a right to life law for the unborn. I support that 100% and all the spin in the world does not change what he actually said.
Hmmm... this pro life so-con likes what he sees and hears. I am not going to become anti-Paul because that is the latest fad. I like the guy and like what he proposes in 99% of his policies and promises, no one else running comes close.
I also believe him, something I am having a hard time with on any of the others considering their records both in office and out of office.
Small govt, trillion dollar cut in spending year one, a plan to actually do something to end abortion, and having all branches of govt actually bound by the constitution. Gee what a kook!
Most pro-life? Then why did he voted a against a bill bill that would have prohibited minors being transported across state lines to get abortions without parents consent?
The estrogen shot?
Really, and he knows the woman was raped when? He said he would give the shot, to prevent pregnancy (means there is a baby), you can’t prevent pregnancy if the woman is not pregnant.
Paul has been in congress for decades, he has done nothing. Why do yo think as president he would do anything.
99% of his policies - really.
Voting against aide to Israel but for aide to palestine, because as he says Israel is the biggest terrorist state in the middle east.
99% of his policies - really
The ones that state America is responsible for 9/11 (even though we have been fighting islam since 1776). Jefferson said the best way to deal with islam is kill them all.
Paul knows nothing about the founding or the constitution anymore than Fred Phelps knows the Bible.
Do you even know what his policies are? Not what people say they are but what he actually says and writes.
No, current laws against murder should protect embryos as living persons at every stage of development. The estrogen shot (Dr. Paul hypothetically prescribed) prevents the implantation of an existing embryo and therefore it is an assault with intent to murder the embryo just as if you strangled me. The "immediacy" of the treatment (assault) is irrelevant because a the injection could not prevent a fertilization if ovulation has already taken place.
Like I said, I love Dr Paul, just like you, but protecting life is not a priority for him. He wants it off the Federal table and he does not want to have to deal with the painful minutia involved with protecting a person who make only consist of proverbial handful of cells that may have gotten half of his genetic material from an "honest" rapist.
I don't think one can be more or less pro-life either you are or you aren't and Dr. Paul is either confused or he is obfuscating. In a TEA party meaning during Rand Paul's senate primary campaign, I warned Rand about speaking ambiguously, incoherently or evasively about abortion. I also implored him to declare and describe abortion to be the economic and security issue that it is. Maybe Ron is right and it and other "social issues" a losing issues for this campaign. If they are, than we are lost and hopeless.
If I find Rick Santorum making the same equivocations, then I won't support him either.
