I think he’s pretty seriously bended to be so hardcore “state’s rights” to the detriment of other more important principles but I wouldn’t say he’s not pro-life because of it. Though I see your point. He wouldn’t be the best Pro-Life President.
Ron Paul is getting no place near the WH anymore than prior years, but I have to completely disagree with you two on the US constitution and Federal powers, including on abortion. I agree with Thomas, Scalia and Palin. The Federal government has no business inventing a 'right to abortion' that nullifies the states abortion laws OR outlawing abortion in the states over state laws. If Roe was completely overturned, then federal abortion laws should be too (and hopefully in that order.)
Claiming that we must have a Republican president that throws the US constitution in the toilet to pass laws you may agree with sets dangerous precedents for the next, even more liberal president, like Obama. Bush signed that law regulating our First Amendment Right to Free Speech because he thought it would do good things.
