Yes, I remember a statement he made not too long ago, he said that in his entire medical career he never saw a single case in which an abortion was medically necessary.
What perplexes me is that he is the most small-government, pro liberty politician in the nation and those on FreeRepublic and elsewhere on other pro-liberty sites ridicule this man and those who support him.
I don't think this is a pro-liberty site... pro-conservative first, pro-republican second, and somewhat pro-economic freedom, but not the whole spectrum of pro-liberty. That's why I'm a libertarian and not a republican.
For the first time ever, college students - the future of our nation and politics - are accepting and embracing a pro-liberty, non socialist, political ideology and there is now hope that, when all of these politicians and voters spawned from the liberal revolution of the 60's and 70's die off, our nation will return to the ideals of our founding fathers.
That's what I enjoyed the most about Dr. Paul's 2008 primary campaign - seeing all the young people, as well as all the minorities, at his events.
2 candidates attracted large numbers of those 2 groups to their cause during the 2008 election cycle, osama and Ron Paul, and you know that at least the vast majority of osama's young supporters are completely disillusioned with him now.
On the other hand, I don't see how any of us Ron Paul supporters can change our minds about him, unless our core beliefs were to change as well - he supported the same policies and political platform since the 1950s - back when his positions were very much mainstream republican beliefs.
It's amazing how far to the left the GOP has moved since then.
And vitriolic too. I mean, I always thought that personally attacking people who've done nothing but offered their opinion was a trait of Democrats and those to the left of them. But, if I say anything, no matter how truthful, that doesn't praise Palin (they've already anointed her President and the primary hasn't even begun) or toe the GOP line (no matter how unconstitutional), people go nuts and attack personally. My guy as of now is Ron Paul, and people say horrible things about him (on a personal level, not a policy level) and me and I have never resorted, in response, to their name-calling and the other childish stuff I've witnessed here. It's sad.
