Ron Paul Says Privacy Rights and Freedoms Don't Include Abortion
Life News ^ | July 4, 2007 | Steven Ertelt
Posted on 07/04/2007 2:45:56 PM PDT by Lorianne
Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul is little known outside his
Texas congressional district or to libertarians who backed his
quixotic third party bid for the presidency in 1988. But to those who
know him, the obstetrician combines his views on freedom and liberty
with a pro-life perspective. Paul told attendees at the National Right
to Life convention recently that his views on abortion were solidified
as a young doctor in training.
It was then that he saw a colleague leave a newborn infant to die
rather than providing emergency medical treatment because he believed
the baby had no chance at living more than a few hours.
For some libertarians, the view that government should be limited
means that it shouldn't prohibit abortions or put any limits on them.
Paul disagrees.

Well, not really. Paul is a strict constructionist and simply doesn't
see any federal role in implementing laws involving crime in general,
including what he sees as murder.
If your proposed Constitutional amendment were passed, then he'd
probably be the first person on the floor calling for legislation to
implement a national ban on abortion.

Spammer Trumpet singles out one of the few issues on which Ron Paul
takes an anti-libertarian position, and posts on that single issue,
ignoring all of Paul's libertarian views. Shocking, absolutely shocking.
