Why? We’re talking maybe 4 hours out of their schedule.
We'll do what it right and leave the winning to God.
1 Corinthians 15
56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
“People who want to actually win the presidency cannot attend these events during the campaign.”
This is an issue that Ron Paul is WAY ahead of the other politicians —not a surprise considering his previous career.
During the election year he has been on a fair number of “liberal” talk shows and interviewed by left-leaning talk showhosts, so no surprise these people that support him for his anti-war, pro-civil liberties positions ALWAYS ask him about abortion and disagree with him. He does the BEST job I have ever heard of defending his position and turning it into an issue of legality. He does not use religion to justify his position, he uses the constitution and logic. He quite simply tears their position APART.
For example, on “The View” hotbed of liberal women thinkers he gets these women to really “think” about the issue, maybe for the first time in their lives.

I doubt any other candidate could have defended this position as well with these women.
