And...Then Rand Paul Did Something Foolish
Rand Paul Introduces ‘Life at Conception Act’
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013...onception-act/ Kentucky Senator Rand Paul on Thursday introduced the “Life At Conception Act,” saying that the “right to life is guaranteed to all Americans.” “I plan to ensure this is upheld,” the Republican senator added. “Sen. Paul introduced S.583, a bill that would implement equal protection under the 14th Amendment for the right to life of each born and unborn human,” the senator’s office said, per a press release. “This legislation does not amend or interpret the Constitution, but simply relies on the 14th Amendment, which specifically authorizes Congress to enforce its provisions,” his office adds. Here is what Section 1 of the 14th Amendment states: No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.The bill has 15 cosponsors (all Republican) including Sens. John Barrasso (Wyo.), John Boozman (Ark.), Richard Burr (N.C.), Daniel Coats (Ind.), Thomas Coburn (Okla.), Michael Enzi (Wyo.), Deb Fischer (Neb.), Charles “Chuck” Grassley (Iowa), John Hoeven (N.D.), James “Jim” Inhofe (Okla.), Mike Johanns (Neb.), Jerry Moran (Kan.), James Risch (Idaho), John Thune (S.D.), and Roger Wicker (Miss.) “The Life at Conception Act legislatively declares what most Americans believe and what science has long known — that human life begins at the moment of conception, and therefore is entitled to legal protection,” Sen. Paul said. “The right to life is guaranteed to all Americans in the Declaration of Independence and ensuring this is upheld is the Constitutional duty of all Members of Congress,” he added.

And the best way to ensure liberty is by passing massively restrictive laws to take away that liberty. Makes perfect sense.

The argument that aborting an unborn child is murder can be made without even entering God or religion into the conversation. You could be an atheist and believe an unborn child has a right to live.

But most atheists pay attention to science, which is the guiding force in MOST abortion legislation worldwide. There's a strong correlation between religious beliefs, and especially Christianity, and an anti-choice stance. YOu're not denying that, are you?

Non-Christians don't value human life?

I'm beginning to think that those idiots that can't control their penises are the ones who strongly support the murder of babies.

What's more important to you?
A. Totalitarian goons trying to disarm you. B. Some teenage slut you'll never meet having an abortion. If you chose B, stuff your ****ing head in the nearest oven and turn on the gas.

You on the other hand appear to be piling on in your usual intellectually dishonest and hypocritical manner. You readily cheer Uncle Sam participating in every part of a citizen's life; taxes, education, employment, healthcare, etc... But oh no! Not this. Typical toe-the-line talking point liberal. |

I strongly support gun rights, want to kick the lazy shits off the government dole, think entitlement reform must be done, strong support of defense and Israel. Not exactly liberal toe the line liberalism. I don't know what you mean by supporting government intrusion into our employment. Public education is all government run. Thats not a liberal idea. Obamacare, guilty. My son has health insurance right now because of Obamacare. I don't have to worry if he's in a car wreck that he starts out life in major debt due to lack of insurance. I got a rebate check from my insurance company because they were overcharging us. No pre-exsisting conditions. Can't cancel your insurance if you get sick. Works for me. And lastly ![]() |

I'm anxiously awaiting Rand's support for the social services that will support the newborn children.
Those who are staunchly pro-life and anti-social services undermine the entirety of their agenda. |

My point is anyone who is alienated by this type of move, would never support him regardless. Many social conservatives stayed home this election cycle because they couldn't support Romney. Many conservatives stayed home because they couldn't support Romney. Reagan created a coalition of Conservatives, Libertarians, and Evangelicals. That is what Rand Paul is trying to do. Most Libertarians accept the position that in order to have liberty, all life must be treated equally, including the unborn. I don't even agree with that, but I understand the position. As long as Rand Paul doesn't go Todd Akin on us, this won't hurt him.

If you're the kind of person who can justify murdering your defenseless unborn baby, please go ahead. Decreasing the number of children you can influence is a really good idea.
