nice false information

I guess this happened just yesterday, but it could have been Monday, I'm not totally sure.

Republican presidential hopeful, Mr. Ron "anti-choice" Paul, sat down on The View and talked abortion with the women.

My favorite part was where he basically said that Roe allows women to go and get abortions all the way up to ....well, basically birth. Isn't this guy a gyno? Shouldn't he probably know the facts?

For those of you out there who don't know much about the case, Roe legalized abortion 100% during the first trimester of pregnancy, but said that after that, the state can regulate/ban abortion as much as they like, as long as they allow emergency abortions for the health and life of the woman. And he's totally dead-ass wrong when he says that Roe dictates to a doctor exactly what they can do in each trimester.... the case that came after Roe, Planned Parenthood v. Casey, decided that the trimester framework was way too rigid, and changed the law to say that yes, Roe was right, but women can have abortions with no government interference all the way up to viability, which happens around 20 weeks. So, Roe is not the "law of the land," as he calls it. Go read a textbook, Paul.

Soooo...... what state is he talking about that lets someone get an abortion at 8 months? Surely if that has happened, it's because the woman's life is at serious risk.





I love how Paul tries to twist it around and make Joy Behar believe that she's actually anti-choice.

Paul: "So you don't want me to do an abortion on somebody that has an eight pound normal baby.
Joy: "No, of course not, but..."
Paul: "So... you're not for abortion, really."

Really, Mr. Paul? Really?

Oh, and watch Whoopi's face through that whole part, classic. I do love the part where Joy basically says, in response to Paul saying that it should be up to the states, what the hell is the difference who is enforcing it if you're completely against it?
