[quote=jpinpb]I just have such a hard time seriously considering Ron Paul mostly b/c of his stand on abortion.
And during his years in medicine, never once did he find an abortion necessary to save the life of a pregnant woman.
Off the top of my head, molar pregnancy comes to mind. I’m sure there are other situations, circumstances, instances and complications that can occur during a pregnancy.
Ron Paul is ardent on his stand on abortion. This is where I disagree w/him. Women should have a choice and when it comes to their health, particularly when in jeopardy, they should have that option w/out the government telling them it’s illegal. Having an abortion is not a decision that comes lightly for women and the government making it illegal is not going to help women in need.
I personally am sad for any woman who has to have an abortion for whatever reason. Nevertheless, that should be their personal decision and not illegal.[/quote]
Couldn’t agree more with your entire post.
I think it’s ironic that someone who supposedly stands for “small government” and “libertarian ideals” is so hell-bent on forcing laws on us that can dicate what happens to women’s uteri.
