Rand Paul: ‘We Need To Be Talking About Planned Parenthood’

Rand Paul: ‘We Need to Be Talking About Planned Parenthood’ (The Daily Signal)

Sen. Rand Paul says it’s time to put the Democratic Party on the defensive when it comes to the fight over abortion and defunding Planned Parenthood.

“The abortion issue, for years and years Republicans have kind of said, ‘well we’re kind of squeamish, we’re not going to get too involved in this.’ These videos have brought it to the forefront,” Paul tells The Daily Signal. “I’ve also been part of saying to the Democrats explain to me how a five-pound baby inside the womb has no rights when I’ve examined one-pound babies outside the womb and everybody says, ‘oh yes, that baby has rights.’ Well, how does a five-pound baby not have rights? That’s where the debate needs to be.”

“We need to be talking about Planned Parenthood and to tell you the truth the numbers shift on this when you’re talking about babies, third trimester abortions, and you’re talking about harvesting organs and taxpayer dollars. Absolutely, the public is on our side and we should stand and fight.”
