Rand Paul is campaigning on, and is devoting this year and presumably the next year, to selling pro-choice to the rank and file republicans and conservatives.

He doesn’t just have a personal view at odds with the party platform and the base, he is working to once and for all, overcome and end that pro-life platform, are you going to aid that effort, or fight to expose it?

“But Mr. Romney would hardly be the first Republican nominee at odds with his party’s more absolute opposition to abortion. Just four years ago, the Republican Party adopted a platform with a similar plank seeking an unconditional ban on abortion, even though its nominee, Senator John McCain of Arizona, had urged the party in the past to allow certain exceptions. George W. Bush also supported outlawing abortion except in cases of rape, incest, or when the life of the pregnant woman was in danger.

After this year’s abortion plank language was approved with little debate, the chairman of the platform committee, Gov. Bob McDonnell of Virginia, praised the committee for “affirming our respect for human life” and for doing so expeditiously.”

Do you believe them regarding their plank on abortion, but even your own write-up says they have been RILOM pro-life (rape,incest, life of mother) for a long time?
