Such a travesty. I really hope Obama vetoes this. Of course my representative voted for it. Reminds me of why I didn't vote for him. He ran on limited government for his first term and I voted for him. It also helped that I was acquaintance with the man and thought he was sincere. But I watched...

The guy isn't in the right frame of mind. I live in the same area and know some of his family. He has a history of mental problems and according to his family members stopped taking his medicine. He can't legally be forced to take his medicine and he pretty much lost it and got extremely...

Congrats to Rand. Hopefully this is a good sign for the liberty movement, and a sign the Republican Party will distance itself from neo-cons moving forward.

Wow this is interesting. I hope it turns out to be a good movie.

It's attached to the woman's body. It relies on the woman's body. Therefore it is a part of the woman's body in my opinion. I think the key here is I don't believe your legal rights begin until after you are born, not before. If we are to argue that the unborn fetus has legal rights then I...

It's not arbitrary to me, just consistent with my position. I don't believe I, or the government, can tell anyone what they can and can't do to their own body. The fetus is a part of the woman's body. Therefore I do not feel I have the right to tell her what to do with the unborn fetus, nor does...

The unborn fetus should not trump the rights of the living mother. The fetus is a guest of sorts living in the womb of the mother. If a woman decides she does not want to support the guest which relies totally on her for survival she should have the right to terminate the pregnancy. I do agree...

Precisely. Do they really want their next door neighbor to be droned if they are thought to be a terrorist? Why not just arrest the person? I hope for their sake the drone doesn't miss its target, killing them instead. Droning American citizens is not only unconstitutional, it's dangerous to...

Agreed. There are so many more important things to worry about that can unite people from all over the political spectrum instead of pushing divisive legislation such as this.

I don't know about that, it's not that simple. From what I've seen it's an issue that divides libertarians almost 50/50. It all depends on how much you weigh the liberties of an unborn fetus of less than 24 weeks to it's parents. Abortion really is the trickiest issue in politics at the moment...

I'm not so sure about that. It could easily become another contest to see who can out-right everyone else to win the primary, which will only lose them the general.

Then if all Rand cares about is winning the Primary this is a brilliant move. I just think this will really hurt him in the general if the media chooses to make it an issue.

He's very likely to be asked about it. Even though the issue is not near as important as the economy or endless wars you can bet it will come up in debates and what not.

I'm worried this will alienate some of his supporters. As someone who is pro-choice I can tolerate pushing for the overturn of Roe vs. Wade so the states can vote on it themselves. But any sort of federal action to ban abortion nationwide can really turn some liberty minded folks off.

Well the "cost/benefit" approach is what changed me from a neo-con to a libertarian. It wasn't until I began watching Ron Paul that I completely understood the morality of it. The "cost/benefit" approach honestly makes more sense to me, but I suppose that's personal taste. I still like Ron more...
