Id never defend Rand Paul but some pro life folks, while good intentioned, wont take yes for an answer. If abortion isnt talked about CONSTANTLY by someone then they get labeled as anti pro life. These folks are there own worst enemies.
In the last two elections, it really wasn't talked about at all by the Republicans. They NEVER made an issue out of the fact that Obama favors killing babies any time and for any reason.
Nevertheless, in this case, Rand Paul was asked about abortion and said that the states should decide. This IS NOT a pro-life position.
Rand Paul talks about abortion a lot, and it is always to undermine the pro-life movement.
