Candice S. Miller Quotes
We are learning more about the humanity of the unborn child. Science and truth support the prolife movement.
Miller, Candice S. Press release. Targeted News Service, 2015.
Paul had been the Libertarian Party Presidential Candidate and in keeping with the libertarian philosophy of the party supported the right to abortion and was adamant that the Government should stay away from such issues of morality. However, in 2007, he tried to secure the Republican Presidential Nomination. At that time the religious right dominated the Republican Party and opposition to abortion was a litmus test issue. Paul flip flopped, but it did him little good. The issue of the fetus and protection of the law is not the simple issue that Paul made it out to be. Even the most ardent supporters of abortion has argued that a fetus ought to be protected both civilly and criminally in law. Where the disagreement lies is at what point in time and/or development does the fetus constitute life and deserve the protection of life and how society shall deal with the conflicting life and health interests of mother and fetus.
In American history Abortion has been legal for more time than it has been illegal. And most of the laws prohibiting it were unconstitutional. Even the Roman Catholic Church did not take the position that life begins at conception until 1869 so the notion, far from being a long standing tradition is just the opposite.
In most parts of the country, if the legislators did not carve out the exceptions for rape incest and danger to the life of the mother, they would lose the majority of their support as most Americans who oppose the freedom of abortion that existed after Roe v. Wade, but really do not view abortion in the early trimester as murder. They just think that the regulation should be greater than it is.
