Rand Paul "making his political bones"
And the first step is introducing a Zygote Personhood bill in the Senate.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) on Friday introduced so-called “fetal personhood” legislation that would completely outlaw abortion in the United States.This should wrap up the Reactionary Right whackdoodles vote for him. And lose the votes of most women and all the scientifically literate. One curious point about this, Paul's beloved Ayn Rand was quite specific that an embryo has no rights and abortion was a moral right of the woman who chooses to have the procedure. I guess the copies of Ayn's books that he sells to his staff have those bits cut out.
The Life at Conception Act would declare that human life began at conception, providing fertilized eggs with the same legal status as born persons.
“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 from that point forward,” Paul said in a statement. “ 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.”
