As for Ron Paul - he is okay on some issues, but on others he sucks. Anyone who wants to ban abortion is not for smaller govt. In other words, although I may personally think abortion is wrong, as long as the fetus is dependent on the mother as a host, it is the mother's right to abort it. As horrible as that may be to some - if you are for autonomy, you have to be for that or at least the govt. staying out of that But, anti-abortionist cannot see it that way.

Ron Paul is personally pro-life, yes; however, Ron Paul does not support a federal ban on abortion. Paul believes in federalism, meaning that issues like abortion, as well as same-sex marriage, are state rights issues. Basically, he believes that it is up to the states and the federal government has no authority in issues like abortion. However, I do understand what you are saying and I do see where you are coming from.

And also of note (many people do not know this), Ron Paul is also a doctor, delivering over 4,000 babies in his life.
