Support Rand Paul's Life at Conception Act: Sign the Petition!

To quote the email he sent me:

With the addition of long time pro-life stalwarts Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Jim DeMint of South Carolina, the total number of Life at Conception Act cosponsors reached an all time high of 151.

Now, our 60 day goal is to add as many additional cosponsors as possible and then force floor votes on both the House and Senate bills.

he fully supports all the wrong positions his father does. Perhaps he needs to brush up on Austrian business cycles and foreign policy

those two are where the vigorous support comes from, not the window dressing which they are trying to have him take

I like the fact that he and his father are pro-life. I'd have a hard time supporting them if they were not.

For the unborn...

What constitutional authority is he citing?

The constitution guarantees the right to life, right?

and again...

Nope, because it states a person may be deprived of their "life, liberty, and property" through due process of law. So a guarantee of life isn't there.

What I'm asking is, who has the authority to write this law? Should it not fall under the 10th Amendment and be left to the states and/or the people rather than the federal government?

I believe so.

ONE star is better than NO stars.

Life began with a primordial soup followed by steak and dessert and hopefully a one night stand.

Rand is a whack job. For the sake of American women, I hope this legislation dies. Just because you believe that life starts at conception, not everyone does. And they should have the choice to not die in a back alley trying to terminate an unwanted pregnancy. He should focus his energues on contraception and education instead, not trying to contro peopk who hild different beliefs.

So does each sperm and egg count as half an unborn person?

I see where you're coming from, and for the most part I agree. But they violated the constitution when they passed Roe v. Wade, and MADE it a federal matter. Now I do think perhaps something should be done to define life at conception. Things are just getting too backwards anymore.

HELL NO!
People have no right to tell someone else what they can or can't so with their own body.

Medical science proves that life begins at conception.

Defending life that can't defend itself is NOT fascism.

There's LIFE under my toenails.

But there is no human being until birth.
I support the right to abortion at anytime, up until birth.

If this was legislation designed to give the states back the rights usurped by Roe v Wade, I'd most definitely back it but this does not reverse Roe v Wade, it mandates the Texas laws nationally that RvW attempted to overturn.

One constitutional over-step does not warrant a second over-step to correct the first.

Facism is the government deciding what is best for you.
