FYI on Ron Paul:
“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)”

Why is Ron Paul against a parent deciding what’s right for their minor child?
I’m not for Ron Paul. But even super libertarian Ron Paul doesn’t believe that the federal government should have no say on this issue, that some states should be able to legalize it, which would be the case if he ONLY called for repealing Roe.
He also voted for the Federal partial abortion ban in 2003. While he wasn’t crazy about the fact that it contradicted his ideology, the bottom line was it would save lives and he had to vote for it.
