Rand Paul: Grill Dems about abortion, too

(CNN)—Rand Paul says he doesn't want to be grilled about abortion until Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz answers similarly tough questions.

Wasserman Schultz hit back -- highlighting Paul's testy interviews with female television anchors, too, by saying she hopes he can "respond without 'shushing' me." But Paul, the Kentucky Republican senator who launched his 2016 presidential campaign this week, said her answer made it sound like she is indeed okay "killing a seven-pound baby."

Paul, the Kentucky Republican senator who launched his 2016 presidential campaign this week, bristled at a question about abortion while talking with reporters in New Hampshire on Wednesday.

"Why don't you ask the DNC, 'Is it OK to kill a seven-pound baby in the uterus?'" Paul said.

1. omg what an ignorant

asshole he is

[steve2470]

2. if he's already bristling like this, he will never make it

At some point, he'll go full melt-down Galt racist and go off on some poor journalist. He will then be officially toast.

18. No--we want him in the race as long as possible. nt

17. I hope it's after he's nominated (n/t)

3. What I don't understand about anti-choice proponents is that they

haven't proven that they can manage the population numbers we currently have. So, where do they get the idea that this is a winning strategy?

4. I have loathed him for years. what a disgusting, sexist, ignorant pos he is.

5. Little douche bag says what?

By the first debate he's going to be curled up on the floor in the fetal position sucking his thumb.

7. That's easy, we're not the authoritarians. He claims he isn't either....

The coward is afraid to have ANYTHING in common with us or he's not really a libertarian.

[Agnosticsherbet]

9. Rand Paul is following a policy of answering no questions

From unapproved reporters. Rather than get caught saying something stupid, he gets pissy and says nothing.

11. It is the Scott Walker model

[emulatorloo]

15. Standard Koch Bros strategy. Worked very well in 2012.

See Joni Ernst for example.

12. Is it okay to starve the 7 pound baby once it's out of the uterus?

Is it okay to withhold healthcare so vital for children. I could go on but this subject makes my blood boil. The fucking libertarian/conservative pro fetus policy is sickening.
They don't give a rats ass about people. They only care for money.

13. Couple problems here, Rand

1) If it's still in the uterus it is a FETUS not a BABY

2) If it weighs seven pounds and you're using "pregnancy termination" techniques rather than just inducing labor, it's already dead

3) Show me a nation where abortion is illegal that doesn't see the women who want to terminate their pregnancies just go across the border to a nation where it's legal like they do in Ireland, and I'll show you a communist dictatorship

14. Don't ask the misogynist anything. He already wrote a bill where fetus' rights trump those of women.

[Arkana]

16. What a fucking armpit of a human being.

His testiness with reporters is going to cost him big.
