Thank you for referencing that article SoConPubbie. Please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at Sen. Paul and not at you.
Beware pro-lifers! While I agree with Sen. Paul in principle concerning his Life at Conception Act, politicking RINO Paul should know better that the states have never delegated to the feds, via the Constitution, the specific power to legislatively address life issues. Such an issue is a 10th Amendment-protected state power issue.
Paul's only option to address life issues which he is ignoring is the following. He should be using his Article V power as a federal lawmaker to rally Congress to propose a Life at Conception amendment to the Constitution to the states for ratification. Then, if the states should choose to ratify Paul's proposed amendment, life at conception would be a constitutionally protected right and Paul would be a hero.
Otherwise, Paul is doing election year politicking, his sights undoubtedly on the Oval Office.
You’re absolutely right. Paul’s law has zero chance of getting passed, and if it was, it would be promptly overruled by the courts. Senator Paul likely understands this. If he doesn’t, he’s a moron who has no business in government. If he does, he’s being intentionally deceptive and has no business in government.
A constitutional amendment is the only way to enact a nationwide ban on abortion. Any attempts less than that are highly suspect. That’s why I originally wrote that Senator Paul is being disingenuous. I don’t think he really wants a nationwide ban on abortion. I think he only acts like he does because it’s politically expedient.
