Rand Paul is OK with Abortifacient Drugs
From LifeSite news. Another reason I don't want to support this guy and don't think he merits any consideration as a presidential candidate.
As a doctor, "Rand Paul likely knows that the most likely effect of the high-dose Levonorgestrel-only contraceptive 'Plan B' is abortifacient,” Krista Thomas, communications manager of Human Life International (HLI) told LifeSiteNews. “Though it also has potential effects of thickening of the cervical mucus and prevention of ovulation, let’s face it, this drug is designed to be taken after sex, so the likelihood of these effects stopping pregnancy is very low.”
“Early abortions are its primary, and perhaps only, effect,” she said.
One of the world's leading authorities on the morning after pill – Dr. James Trussell, the director of Princeton’s Office of Population Research – has said that women must be told of the potential for abortion as part of ethical treatment. “To make an informed choice, women must know that [emergency contraceptive pills]…prevent pregnancy primarily by delaying or inhibiting ovulation and inhibiting fertilization, but may at times inhibit implantation of a fertilized egg in the endometrium,” he wrote.
That was further confirmed by a 2014 report from the Charlotte Lozier Institute that found all forms of emergency contraception, as well as the IUD, can cause an early abortion.
So Doctor Paul Junior is likely lying when he says "Hey, people, chill out. It's a pill, therefore it's just birth control." Great. He is slowly turning into as disagreeable a candidate as his whack-job father.
Among many reasons not to support him, but this is just icing.

Oh man, I missed that one. It was this:
DeleteHmm is anyone else experiencing problems with the pictures on this blog loading?
I’m trying to find out if its a problem on my end or if it’s
the blog. Any feed-back would be greatly appreciated.

Oh, yeah! I thought I'd get a Pulitzer for that.
DeleteI'll admit that I resemble a famous spammers. Sort of like Kermit the Frog with a mole on his lip.
Though I naturally tend small L libertarian, this guy is looking increasingly squirrelly.
ReplyDeleteHe's trying to keep the paranoid people close, hence his "demilitarize to police" reaction to Ferguson. That's about where he loses me. I'm a huge 2A supporter, so I run into the paranoid/SHTF guys all the time and I *love* them, but their beliefs are ultimately unhealthy. So it irks me to see someone in a high position fanning the flames.
DeleteHe isn't as much of a national suicide pact as his old man would have been, but he too does tend to confuse liberty with license. And I think that, ultimately, he is utilitarian rather than working from fundamental principles and self-evident truths.
DeleteHe's in the right job now and good to have on the team esp. to tweak the Dems. To borrow a line from LBJ (who was talking about J Edgar Hoover): I'd rather have him inside the tent pissing out than outside pissing in. But he would make a poor leader, and a worse president.
Right, don't get me wrong. I think he's great as a Senator with an R next to his name. And there are plenty of things I dislike about other R's in the senate such as Ted Cruz and John McCain. But I'm glad they are there all the same.
DeleteI'm not glad John McCain is a senator. I'm not glad he's involved in our government in any way.
DeleteOTOH, I'm thrilled Ted Cruz is my senator, and I'd be thrilled if he were to gain a higher position.
