At the GOP Values Voter Presidential Debate on Sep 17, 2007, Ron Paul was asked what he will do to restore legal protection to the unborn:
?As an O.B. doctor of thirty years, and having delivered 4,000 babies, I can assure you life begins at conception. I am legally responsible for the unborn, no matter what I do, so there?s a legal life there. The unborn has inheritance rights, and if there?s an injury or a killing, there is a legal entity. There is no doubt about it.?
That sounds an awful lot like someone who is against abortion to me.

Sorry, yes it does, however what I meant to emphasize is that he believes it's not the federal governments or president's duty to make laws on this. So yes he personally may be against it but that doesn't matter.
here is the next quote from the page that you did not include in your reply to my post:
?The first thing we have to do is get the federal government out of it. We don?t need a federal abortion police. That?s the last thing that we need. There has to be a criminal penalty for the person that?s committing that crime. And I think that is the abortionist. As for the punishment, I don?t think that should be up to the president to decide.?
this is the beauty of ron's philosophy that i like the most, even though his personal beliefs may be different than yours, mine, or joe the plumber's, he realizes that it's not the federal governments job to decide. :-)
