[Pleural]

[quote name='Justin86' post='1423842' date='Nov 23 2007, 12:46 AM']Oh, and I'm not buying all that pro-life carp. Why does NARAL like him so much then?

Here's his ratings for the past three years:

2006: 65 percent
2005: 75 percent
2004: 65 percent

Slanderous nonsense. NARAL admits the following, which you deliberately chose to overlook:
[quote]Rep. Paul has an anti-choice record. He received the following scores on NARAL Pro-Choice America's Congressional Record on Choice.[/quote]

Public Statements about Choice:
A selection of Rep. Paul's public statements on this issue is below.

"Roe v. Wade was wrongly decided, but not because the Supreme Court presumed to legalize abortion rather than ban it. Roe was wrongly decided because abortion is simply not a constitutional issue…."

[Ron Paul, Federalizing Social Policy, Ron Paul's Texas Straight Talk – A Weekly Column, January 30, 2006, [url="http://www.house.gov/paul/tst/tst2006/tst013006.htm"]http://www.house.gov/paul/tst/tst2006/tst013006.htm[/url] (accessed May 9, 2007).]

"Pro-life libertarians have a vital task to perform: to persuade the many abortion-supporting libertarians of the contradiction between abortion and individual liberty…. A libertarian's support for abortion is not merely a minor misapplication of principle, as if one held an incorrect belief about the Austrian theory of the business cycle. The issue of abortion is fundamental, and therefore an incorrect view of the issue strikes at the very foundations of all beliefs…."

[Ron Paul, Being Pro-Life Is Necessary to Defend Liberty, LFL Reports, no. 1 [1981], 1 & 3. [url="http://www.141.org/library/bepro-rp.html"]http://www.141.org/library/bepro-rp.html[/url] (accessed April 10, 2007).]

"Although the real problem lies within the hearts and minds of the people, the legal problems of protecting life stem from the ill-advised Roe v. Wade ruling, a ruling that constitutionally should never have occurred."

[Congressional Record – House, H4934, June 4, 2003.]
