“The first thing we have to do is get the federal government out of it. We don’t need a federal abortion police. That’s the last thing that we need. There has to be a criminal penalty for the person that’s committing that crime. And I think that is the abortionist. As for the punishment, I don’t think that should be up to the president to decide.”
“At the same time, Ron Paul believes that the ninth and tenth amendments to the U.S. Constitution do not grant the federal government any authority to legalize or ban abortion. Instead, it is up to the individual states to prohibit abortion.”
So yes, he’s against Roe v Wade, but he also believe the 9th and 10th amendments to the US Consitition do not grant the federal government any authority to legalize or ban abortion. Is that clear enough for you?
Coming back on topic and this statement:

Back to the media ignoring RP. They did give him more media coverage the first time around.[/quote]
It doesn’t matter if he got more media coverage the first time around. This time, he’s scoring very high in the pole and yet, he is disregarded by both left and right media.
