So, you disagree with Paul's anti-abortion position?



His position is that it shouldn't be up to the federal government and that it should be up to the states.



Which is a worse idea than leaving it under the federal, so he fails either way you look at it.

Ron Paul's solution to abortion is to only allow two branches of government to decide what happens with it. His own website says he would overturn Roe V Wade (which he does not have the authority to do), then to pass the Sanctity of Life Act, which bars the judiciary from applying judicial review to cases relating to abortion.

It's an odd stance, likely driven by his need to be an anti-choice libertardian, which isn't really possible.

Which is it?

Either no governmental body can, or any of them can.

What fucking difference does it make whether that governmental body is Federal or State?

Its not one topic, its one candidate. If you don't march lock step and vote for their savoir, they view you as a freedom hating sheep. Its actually quite hilarious.

The only difference is that in one, you aren't forcing women to travel across state lines in order to get medical treatment, just to make some people feel good about their state while accomplishing nothing towards their goal. That's why, in this one case, it's a federal law and should remain that way.

No, it's the difference between Federal and State. Obviously that line is so effing blurred for some of you ignorant folks it's hard to comprehend...

Ron Paul doesn't care about freedom. He's all for tyranny if its tyranny at the state level.
