Daily Beast : Reports and mocks Rand Paul 's support of bill stating life begins at conception. Read any biology books lately??
Daily Beast writes a sarcastic blog about Rand Paul coming out swinging with a bevy of bills including a pro life one stating the scientific fact that life begins at conception. Novel thought to declare this. They insinuate that he is different from his father who was for US isolation and fiscal conservatism. Well Ron Paul also a doctor is pro life but maybe they did not understand that. This piece is meant to mock Paul but the real concern among the liberals is the strong pro life nature of the newbies and their willingness to put their campaign words into action. This is what scares them the most. So they must not only disagree, they must mock and try to belittle. Good Luck. You have your work cut out for you...no pun intended.
"Whereas Ron Paul has focused his career on fiscal conservatism and foreign-policy isolationism, Rand Paul is promoting socially conservative positions.
On Monday, Paul announced that he is joining Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS) in cosponsoring the Life at Conception Act. The law would declare that a person's life begins at conception. Paul and Wicker reason that if fetuses become legal persons protected under the Constitution's 14th Amendment, which guarantees equal protection under the laws, then it will override the constitutional right to an abortion that the Supreme Court found in Roe v. Wade.
That Paul is focusing on social issues suggests the new crop of Republicans in D.C. may not be any less socially conservative, or any less interested in social issues, than their predecessors.

I think you misunderstood what the article was really mocking Susie. It was actually abput the hypocrisy of Paul wanting to grant rights to embryos and fetuses but not to all babies born in this country.
"It's not clear where the fetus in an illegal immigrant's uterus would fit into this equation."
Read much lately??????
They would be persons with rights but if you want to get technical saying citizens of what country is a different subject. Actually citizens of another country are persons with rights as well. Taking his stance on one issue of human rights and twisting it with another stand on citizenship in a mocking way shows the writer's attempt to dismiss and mock. The fact that the DB and and you are doing it shows that the issue concerns you. Just like the mocking way that you address your comments to me. Always with sarcasm....Thanks for being such a faithful reader.
Certainly the issue concerns us prochoicers because it trying to remove a woman's right to legal abortion.
My point was that you misunderstood what the article was all about. And the sarcasm echoes your own Susie. Just to be clear.
