Rand Paul is pro abortion.
Went to check on it. He said that the morning after pill is different than the RU486 pill.
I have no problem with that part of it. That is accurate.
But, the morning after pill does prevent implantation. (RU486 causes already implanted fetus to be expelled...to die.)
Apparently, Paul believes life begins at implantation rather than conception/joining of sperm/egg. At that point he allows for no abortion except life of mother. He has no exception for rape or incest.
I actually held that position for years. What changed my mind? I don’t know if you’ll like this or not, neither of us being Roman Catholic, but the Catholic teaching that both contraception and euthanasia have humans pretending they can make as good decisions about life and death as can God.
I wanted to be consistent.
All that said, (1) we should try to change Paul’s mind about life at conception rather than implantation; and (2) this has absolutely nothing to do with Ebola and the government lying to us. Paul thinks the government is being dishonest, and so do I.
