Question

I mean he is allowing abortion to be legal just because people does not know how to use a condom i mean who would want to kill an unborn child that is so mean and evil why would anybody vote for him he is a crazy old man to me

Answer 1

Here are some links for you to read up on him. He's really a libertarian running as a Republican. They basically believe the federal government shouldn't have so much power, more power to the states and the people. He follows the Constitution to a "T" and sticks to it.
Ron Paul is a doctor as well as a congressman. He's been around a long time, and he's been saying the same things this whole time. Just now he's getting more attention in a good way because more and more people are coming to agree with him on his views of what the roles of the government should and shouldn't be. It's refreshing compared to all the other candidates who speak of more big government ideas.

I'm not personally all behind Ron Paul, I'm still undecided about all candidates, weighing them in. Read up more on all of them and decide for yourself based on an informed decision -- not just what you've heard or saw on TV or from friends and family.

People can be pro-life, but may not believe it's a federal issue, more of a state issue. Dr. Paul is pro-life.

Answer 2

This recent video discusses his thoughtful reasoning as to why abortion should at least be questioned at later stages in pregnancy. He also states that it's not really a federal issue, and really is just meant to divide a country from more pressing issues (war, taxes, economy, immigration, etc).

It's also from a woman's perspective, and even though the panel seems all pro-choice, they seem to understand his position, which is almost exactly opposite to what you stated.

Answer 3

The real question is why are Americans continually manipulated based on the largely irrelevant topic of abortions?

I could give a damn about abortions when there are much larger economic, freedom, and foreign relations blunders taking place at the federal level every day.

If Ron Paul doesn't win pretty soon the bill of rights will cease to exist, we will be at war with everyone, and the dollar won't be worth the paper it's printed on....

Answer 4

Ron Paul is actually pro-life

In 2005 and 2007, Paul introduced the Sanctity of Life Act, which would remove federal court jurisdiction over abortion cases arising from state laws and effectively negate Roe v. Wade as binding legal precedent. Also, for the purposes of statutory construction over the jurisdictional limitation imposed, the bill declares that "human life shall be deemed to exist from conception."[82][83] Paul has also introduced a Constitutional amendment with similar intent. Such laws would permit states to declare abortion to be murder and to outlaw new fetal stem cell research and some contraception and fertility treatments.[84][85]

Answer 5

Oh look, we have another troll.
He doesn't believe that the federal government should have any say so in it and that it should be a state issue. This is the way it was supposed to be from the beginning with minimum federal involvement states were to govern themselves. So, he says, I would leave it up to the states to decide because I do not feel like it should be a federal issue.

Answer 6

People like Ron Paul because they actually believe he could pull off all of the things he's promising.

The problem is, even if we assume he were to win the Presidency (a huge assumption, to say the least), people forget that the President is part of the Executive Branch of government, not the Legislative Branch. The President cannot make laws. Thus, he can't get rid of the income tax or the many social programs that plague this country. It's just not within his power.

For those of you giving me thumbs down on this answer, can you dispute one thing that I've said? Or are you all just grumpy because you know I'm right?

I've got nothing against him, but his campaign promises are mostly pie in the sky nonsence that he will have no way of actually keeping. I do like the stuff he says about vetoing anything that comes across his desk that he believes to be unconstitutional or that does not fit within a balanced budget. Those things, I believe he would do. But the other stuff....not a chance. He can't, and that's all there is to it.

Answer 7

Not "everybody" likes Ron Paul. In fact, polls conducted by credible organizations show that he is a bottom-tier candidate.

The problem is that the people who like him are a VERY vocal minority, and you will only find them on the internet, never in real life. His fanbase likes to generate the impression that their Messiah (they behave more like cultists following a religious figure than thinking adults selecting a candidate) is more popular than he really is by such dubious activities as spamming internet polls, using spam-bots to publicize his campaign, and posting a relentless barrage of videos on YourTube. I didn't know who Ron Paul was until I came to Y! Answers, now I only wish I didn't.

Answer 8

Ron Paul is pro-life, and being an OBGYN doctor, he understands what abortion does to children(fetuses), and he has never performed one. However, he believes that it is not the Federal govt.'s decision to interefere with state legislations regarding abortions. He is for overturning the Roe vs. Wade decision in which the Federal govt. overstepped it's boundaries to overrule a state's decision to make abortion illegal.

Get your facts straight.

Answer 9

I'm pro life, and pro Paul.

I think abortion is murder. But I would be fine with it defined at a state level, just like other laws.

As an issue, I think of abortion the same as I do gay marriage...Simply a distractions issue....A issue the government has no right to dictate in the first place.

There are more important things at hand like US Sovereignty and the US Constitution. Once we loose those, you will no longer have the right to effect policy.

Answer 10

He speaks the truth. He's a doctor. Abortion should be between a medical doctor and a patient. The government shouldn't be involved unless it's to offer support to the doctor so he or she can help the patient make the best decision for her. You will never understand because you've never been in that situation. I haven't either but my mom had an abortion.
