A principled stance has NO EXCEPTIONS!!

1. No abortion. No exceptions.
2. No taxes. No exceptions.
3. No welfare. No exceptions.
4. No minimum wage. No exceptions.
5. No world policing. No exceptions.

Is Paul pro life or not? That is the topic of this thread. If you contend Paul is not prolife then please submit your evidence. Paul has been a US Senator for 4 years, he has a record, show me where in Paul’s US Senate voting record he is not prolife. thanks

See post 20, I would have to say that Paul is not pro-life.

That is what this thread article is revealing.

Why don’t you all read what he said instead of what somebody infers that he meant from what he said? If you have an exception for the life of the mother - and all pro-lifers I know support that exception - then there will be thousands of those exceptions. Read what he said. He talked about specific situations that might threaten the mother’s life, he specifically limited his comments to life of the mother situations. So yeah, I am as pro-life as it gets, and I will say clearly, there would be thousand of exceptions. I need Jack Nicholson to scream at you, “You can’t handle the truth!” This is the truth - and the fact that the American public isn’t ready to fully support life (which just frustrates me) is also the truth. Why start dumping on the guy for telling the truth about a very important issue? Would you rather a Clintobama type person blow the smoke of “there will be no exceptions, and the country is ready for a total ban now” up your skirts? No, I am not a Rand supporter; but when you twist a man’s words into something he didn’t say in order to help justify your dislike of the man, you’re no better than the dims.

Careful - you will be accused of being a left-Wing plant if you ask them to use their brains for actual thinking.

Despite all evidence of the world being a myriad subset of gray shades, there are many who are incapable of admitting that reality is not and cannot be a pure black/white enterprise. That thinking dooms us to Leftist control because they will invariably find reason to 'disqualify" anyone on our side who shows the ability to think in terms of reality.

I read the article, Paul was talking about an exception for the LIFE of the mother. I agree with him.

No he wasn’t, there is no discussion about “an exception for the LIFE of the mother” of the mother, there are no politics on “an exception for the LIFE of the mother” of the mother, there are no political movements or arguments against “an exception for the LIFE of the mother” and Paul wasn’t having so much trouble and rambling and taking so long answering the abortion question because he was merely agreeing with the GOP pro-life position of “an exception for the LIFE of the mother” of the mother.

This is a guy who is telling us about “exceptions” to the GOP party platform position:
BLITZER: So, just to be precise, if you believe life begins at conception, which I suspect you do believe that, you would have no exceptions for rape, incest, the life of the mother, is that right?

PAUL: Well, I think that once again puts things in too small of a box. What I would say is that there are thousands of exceptions.

“” I don’t think it’s a simple as checking box and saying exceptions or no exceptions.””

“”And there are a lot of decisions that are made privately by families and their doctors that really won’t — the law won’t apply to, but I think it’s important that we not be flippant one way or the other and pigeon hole and say, oh, this person doesn’t believe in any sort of discussion between family. And so, I don’t know if there’s a simple way to put me in a category on any of that.””

BLITZER: Well, it sounds like you believe in some exceptions.

PAUL: Well, there’s 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, the people came more to my way of thinking, it’s still be a lot of complicated things that 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.
