again, you should educate yourself on the "beauty" of ron paul's positions and voting record.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politic...ed_legislation
Paul has said that the ninth and tenth amendments to the U.S. Constitution do not grant the federal government any authority to legalize or ban abortion, stating that "the federal government has no authority whatsoever to involve itself in the abortion issue."[213] However, this has not stopped Paul from voting in favor of a federal ban on partial-birth abortion in 2000[214] and 2003.[215]

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. :-)
