I had thought that Ron Paul was pro-life. Was I wrong about that?

He is but he wants the states to decide for themselves cause that is what the constitution prescribes

No but the link explains it.

I think it's a copout under the cirumstances.

Ron paul is a rules-based libertarian. That’s why you can’t trust these types to make the right decisions in cases like this. Paul is hard-wired and programmed and is not always capable of analysis or even reasonable thought.

Ron Paul isn’t as pro-life as he led some of us to believe; in fact, he has a mixed recordon abortion:

“Voted NO on restricting interstate transport of minors to get abortions. (Apr 2005)

Voted NO on making it a crime to harm a fetus during another crime. (Feb 2004)

Rated 56% by the NRLC, indicating a mixed record on abortion. (Dec 2006)”

Paul is not pro-life if you look at his actual voting record and not listen to what he says.

Ron Paul's votes must always be framed in his unique (and not necessarily incorrect) view of the Constitution. His vote always needs such an asterisk. This is NOT in support of his vote, BTW>

[Dead Corpse]

Nope. But, where in the Constitution does it give the FedGov the power to have ANY say in this whatsoever?

Roe V Wade needs to go and the FedGov needs to stop interfering with the States ability to ban abortion.

Anything else requires an Amendment.

he is a libertarian first pro life second.

Cut and Run has never been pro-life. He is the one who demanded that an underage girl be allowed to cross state lines in order to get an abortion when it was illegal in the state she lived.
