1. Depends on Rand's postion on gun control

If there's no right to privacy, there is no fifth, fourth, third--and especially second--constitutional amendment.

2. Not if you are a woman.
"I am 100% pro life. I believe abortion is taking the life of an innocent human being. I believe life begins at conception and it is the duty of our government to protect this life."

-Rand Paul on the topic of abortion

3. "OTOH it is not the duty of government to protect the right of this life to
be served by privately owned businesses."

4. I dopn't see how he can reconcile that view with his opposition to portions of the CRA
Not abortion per se. but the Right to Privacy in general Government can intrude when? What about Gay Marriage? what about Sodomy laws? What about medical records? How is that anyone's business but the persons involved?
