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

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 does have a mixed record, but I don't see where his lifetime votes on pro-life issues would earn him only a 56 percent rating. According to NRLC (check out the "votes" tab), he has voted 75 times with them in his career, 17 times against them, and 7 votes were not scored.
