Oh, I know. Of course, the Constitution doesn't say anything about this, but I'm sure it emanates from a penumbra or something.

An interesting reference to the Griswold v. Connecticut case--in other words, creating a constitutional right out of whole cloth. A major factor in Roe v. Wade, and the companion case, Doe v. Bolton, securing the perceived right to abortion.

The Libertarian Party is pretty much pro-choice, isn't it? Wasn't Ron Paul the party's presidential nominee a few years back--and now he's Mr. Pro-Life? So what's changed, I have to ask.

He was always pro-life. When he accepted the Libertarian party's offer to run for President under its banner, he made clear to them that the abortion issue was non-negotiable.

I should add to my last comment that Congressman Paul was always pro-life unlike any of the candidates leading him in the polls right now.
