Ok he is being misrepresented on the prolife front.
His real position IS pro life But it does not mean that he would outlaw abortion, he would not,nor would he cow tow to the religious right on this issue in supreme court appointments.
Here is what HE REALLY thinks on abortion. It is not provided for within the constitution therefore it should be a states rights issue.
Back in the 50s states rights became synonamous with racialissues but in this case he has a valid point. The constitution is very specific in that anything not enumerated within the constitution shouldbe left to the states to decide. To outlaw abortion or to legalize it once and for all the constitution would have to be amended, something that wont happen anytime soon on THIS issue.
Ron Paul is the onlly candidate that is running on issues that were set forth by the founders of this country, he is the only candidate who does not support maintaining themodified police state that we are currently living in. Electing him as President isn't going to get us out of the WTA, nor will it solve the abortion issue once and for all, our country is set upon a system of checks and balances and he is the only candidate advocating restoration of those balances. What his presidency would do is send a clear message toboth the republicans and the democrats that the country has had enough of both the far right and the far left politics.
If this country is to be saved it will be libertarian ideals that save it.
I fully support Ron paul, not because I agree with all of his positions but because taken en masse they are far more in line with my ideology than either the democrats or the republicans.
Ron Paul has momentum, he is in a position to shake things up, particularly for the Republican party, if you really want change and the responsibility that comes with freedom, real freedom don't swallow the rot espoused by the media or by the Sean Hannitys of the world, evaluate the candidates yourself and choose based on the one you most feel represents your views
OK Off my soapbox.
