U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., speaking at Family Research Council's Values Voter Summit, Washington, D.C., Sept. 26, 2014.

WASHINGTON U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who has an uneasy relationship with the pro-life community, took a stand in opposition to late-term abortions in a Friday speech at the Values Voter Summit.

"I've held 1 and-a-half pound babies in my hand," he said. "I've seen them sucking their thumb on an ultrasound, and I've seen surgeons operate on babies still in the womb. So don't tell me that 5-and- 6-pound babies have no rights simply because they're not born."

Paul is an eye surgeon. His father, former congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul, R-Texas, delivered babies in his career as an OB/GYN.

The abortion debate is not over whether or not the government should protect life, Paul said, but when life begins.

"No civilization," Paul added, "can long endure that does not respect life from the not-yet-born to life's last breath."

He ended the abortion segment of the speech by saying he would "march for life and will continue to stand up in defense of life as long as I'm privileged to be in office."

There has been some tension between Paul and the pro-life community. He has previously made comments that caused pro-lifers to doubt his commitment to defending the lives of the unborn.

In 2013, for instance, he saidin an interview that there could be "thousands of exceptions" to a ban on abortion. And earlier this year, Paul said that if he were elected president there is "not much" he would do on the issue of abortion.

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Kentucky, is openly weighing a presidential bid.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

Alexandria, Virginia (CNN) -- Fresh off his Senate floor speech against arming Syrian rebels, Sen. Rand Paul shifted gears Thursday night to lambast the current state of police militarization in the United States, especially when it comes to the war on drugs.

The Kentucky Republican told a libertarian-leaning audience in Alexandria, Virginia that police sometimes direct their focus on the wrong crimes.

"You want your police to be aggressive," he said. "But if someone's got some pot, you want to break down the door at two in the morning with masks and gas and concussion grenades?"

Paul was speaking to the Liberty Political Action Conference, where moments before his speech he was on stage with his father, former Rep. Ron Paul, to deliver a scholarship award.

It was a rare dual appearance by the two, as Rand Paul, who's laying the groundwork for a potential presidential bid, has attempted to differentiate himself from his father's legacy as a vocal libertarian. (Rand Paul, however, dutifully quoted his father at the end of his speech: "Freedom is popular. Bring it on.")

On militarization, Rand Paul said the public may never really know what happened to Michael Brown, the unarmed 18-year-old shot dead by police in Ferguson, Missouri last month, and he didn't weigh in on the still unfolding controversy.
