Being a member of the Tea Party and likely attempting to make a presidential run, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul appears to be fully ready to pull a Mitt Romney and become the latest flip-flop king.
In April, Paul said that "we are not changing any [abortion] laws until the country is persuaded otherwise."
He also recently told a crowd in Iowa that, "I think almost nobody in here wants to ban birth control."
Yet when he was interviewed by the American Liberty Association this past week, his words on that matter struck quite a different tone, as he said the following:
"I've introduced legislation called the Life at Conception Act, to define when life begins: at conception. I've also probably co-sponsored 20-some-odd pro-life bills. I have a 100 percent voting record for pro-life. But I also have taken the time to go to the March for Life. When I was there, I was the only senator who showed up for the March for Life. ... So I do think it's important. I often say in my speeches, that I don't think a civilization can long endure that doesn't respect the rights of the unborn."
First off, let's combine Paul's three statements, shall we? In them, he's essentially saying, "We're not changing any abortion laws until the country is persuaded otherwise and I think almost nobody wants to ban birth control, however, I've introduced legislation called the Life at Conception Act, because I don't think a civilization can long endure that doesn't respect the rights of the unborn."
Got that? Me neither...
Secondly, the far-right end of the Republican Party has consistently disrespected the rights of just the following: Women, minorities, the LGBT community, people whom practice any religion other than Christianity (especially Islam), those in poverty, veterans, the homeless, the middle-class, voters, etc. Yet, they're all about respecting the unborn, well, until they're born apparently.

Okay, I'd like for all the unborn whom voted in the 2012 election to raise their hands... Hmm... That's weird. I'm not seeing anything. Let me try again.
Would all the unborn whom paid taxes of any kind in the past year please raise their hands... Again, nothing... Huh...
I'll try one more time. Would all the unborn whom went to school or worked please raise their hands... Geez... I'm 0 for 3. I haven't been this cold since the night I dressed up like Lyle Lovett and went to a gay bar.
What was that you were saying again, Senator Paul?
Rand Paul: "I don't think a civilization can long endure that doesn't respect the rights of the unborn."
Reality: "A civilization can't long endure that doesn't respect the rights of the born, for there is no unborn without the born."
