Rand Paul is opposed to abortion in all cases.

Oh really?

Paul: I think that once again puts things in too small of a box. What I would say is there are thousands of exceptions. I’m a physician and every individual case is going to be different. Everything is going to be particular to that individual case and what is going on that mother and the medical circumstances of that mother…. There are a lot of decisions made privately by families and doctors that really won’t, the law won’t apply to, but I think it is important we not be flippant one way or the other and pigeon hole and say this person doesn’t believe in any sort of discussion between family and physician.

Blitzer: It sounds like you believe in some exceptions.

Paul: 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 so I would say that each individual case would have to be addressed and even if there were eventually a change in the law let’s say people came more to my way of thinking there would still be a lot of complicated things the law may not ultimately be able to address in the early stages of pregnancy that would have to be part of what occurs between the physician and the woman and the family.

And of course, leaving a loophole to allow any abortion a physician deems necessary essentially leaves abortion on demand completely legal. As we’ve seen with medical marijuana, if you want something bad enough, you can easily find a doctor who will go along with you and help you get it.
