- Occupy wannabe hippies get arrested all over the place. Hardly RP's fault that we've devolved into a police state.
- Is kinda' funny that the Occupy folks, who claim to be protesting against "corporations", also protest against
reducing the size and scope of the
ultimate corporation.
Meanwhile, Paul has come out in favor of repealing Roe v. Wade and letting states ban abortions and declaring fetuses to be human beings with full rights. He stated that fetuses deserve "free choice," not just women. As if fetuses choose to be born.

- Uh... You can't "repeal" a court decision. Could theoretically reverse it, if he managed to nominate enough anti-RvW SCOTUS judges and the Congress confirmed them... But that's not likely. Also not likely that he would make RvW a primary factor in his appointment of judges.
- He may have an arguable point, in terms of Constitutional jurisdiction... Although I think 4th/5th Amendment rights do indeed support RvW. He can't be right on everything.
- Will give him credit for at least being a bit less gutless on the subject than most Liberals, who fully support abortion rights, even to the point of wanting the procedure taxpayer-funded, but still try to cater to the "values" crowd by acting all somber and serious about the topic... If they believe a fetus is a person, than abortion is murder... But if not, it's just a blob of stuff that can be easily removed at the convenience of the woman. I'd give them serious honesty cred for saying that.
