As a New Mexican, I actually know Gary Johnson. As in, I’ve met him personally on a number of occassions.
Now, I don’t think I’d ever vote for the man, but I do think it is not quite right to say he is pro-abortion in a federal sort of way.
He opines the classic libertarian position that abortion is a state issue and should be returned to the States — i.e., that Roe v. Wade was wrong, which would be a huge win at the federal level.
Now, when pushed as to what he thinks states should do, he thinks states should legalize abortion, which is obviously bad, but irrelevant when it comes to someone running for federal office who holds libertarians ideas.
Anyway, NOT for Johnson. Just correcting the record a tad.
I do know I won’t vote for Romney, even against Obama. Probably vote Constitution Party.

What would you rather have?
Supreme court stamping all over states rights via Roe v. Wade.
States decide the abortion issue themselves.
I would rather have the 2nd option.
Coach, or whoever is responsible for this blog, goes far out of his way to trash libertarians.
