I don't have a candidate yet, but Brownback disappoints me.
Apparently, he shares Romney's view that abortion should be left to the states to deal with, rather than banned nationwide. For some unknown reason, he doesn't believe it is constitutional to federally protect the unborn.
"The answer is not, as some have claimed, the nationwide prohibition of abortion. Rather, as the Constitution contemplates, the decision of whether and how to regulate abortion would return once again to the states." -- Sen. Sam Brownback press release, Thursday, June 23, 2005

At least Duncan Hunter is one of the few who seems to have it right, and supports using federal measures to ban abortion once and for all.

Thanks for that. I thought his view of abortion was equal to Hunters. I didn’t realize he wanted it to go back to the states like McCain. Hunter does have it exactly right.

Duncan Hunter brought out the fact that we had 155,000 people cross the border from communist China, Iran, Korea, and in this age of terrorism, I don’t know why more candidates aren’t bringing this out.

fyi
Duncan Hunter: Yes. You know, I’m the author of the personhood-at-conception bill which right now has over 100 co-sponsors ...that would define personhood as moment of conception, so, it would allow us to have a reversal of the effects of Roe v. Wade without a constitutional amendment.
