Showing Original Post only (View all)"Libertarian" Rand Paul "cleverly" accuses pro-choice advocates of infanticide [View all]

During a campaign stop in Milford, N.H., Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., responded to a question about a testy exchange he had with an AP reporter about abortion policy. Pauls retort: You go back and go ask (DNC head) Debbie Wasserman Schultz if shes OK with killing a 7-pound baby that's just not born yet. Paul added, Ask her when life begins, and ask Debbie when shes willing to protect life. When you get an answer from Debbie, come back to me. Wasserman Schultz shot back responding, I support letting women and their doctors make this decision without government getting involved. Period. End of story.

Rand is rude to women reporters, always interrupts them. He is a typical rightwing
