How is abortion a states rights issue?
Looking to clarify Paul's stance on abortion.
If Paul seeks to define life at conception how can states allow abortion? Isn't it the role of the federal government to override state's decisions to protect liberties? In other words, if the federal government defines life as beginning at conception, how is abortion any different than killing an adult from a legal perspective?
Paul has pushed for legislation to give states authority on abortion. Do you think that Paul would push this same legislation if the Supreme Court had ruled all abortions unconstitutional? Why or why not?
This is an issue that bothers me a lot about Paul. Not because I have a great interest in abortion, but because I feel like he's trying to push his moral preference on this issue.
