I wondered that also. But he is clear on personhood for the unborn, so I can’t believe he would think it’s an option. That would be psychotic.
Ron Paul is quite clear that he personally opposes abortion but believes that it should be left up to the states. This is pretty much the straight libertarian party platform.
I too find it a bit psychotic to claim that an unborn is a person but to also claim that a group of people, a state, can pass a law legitimizing the murder of that unborn. Since the libertarian movement places so much emphasis upon logic and consistency with principles, I’ll leave the explanation to some one with more principles than I.
And, thanks for the compliment EV.
