For the nth fuckin time; All you people bringing up abortion, education, or whatever, keep in mind he wants the state to handle a majority of these issues. Stop fucking saying he is going to ban abortion. His whole campaign is built on the federal government NOT overseeing these issues.
"I deal with the abortion issue like I deal with all acts of violence... All acts of violence under our Constitution are dealt with at the local level... The more difficult the issue, the more local it should be for sorting out these difficult issues... I believe strongly this should be at the local level...I am absolutely against the federal government funding abortion."

I was waiting for this one. This is exactly what I'm talking about when I say Ron Paul supporters appear to be uninformed about Ron Paul. Did you read my post? Obviously you didn't because I broke it down. By the way, swearing makes you and your candidate look bad. Please read my following post.
Of course he's against federal funding of abortion, he's a libertarian. The rest is just typical states right bull crap.
I will break it down again.
The "Sanctity of Life Act" which he sponsored (and has repeatedly introduced for years)
would outlaw all abortions (and even some forms of birth control) at the federal level, by declaring that "life begins at conception", that the legal definition of "person" applies to the act, thus making abortion murder- which is a federal, as well as a state, crime.
To avoid any potential confusion,
the 3rd clause of the act would prohibit the Supreme Court from even hearing cases involving outright bans on abortion - thus radically increasing the power of the Executive Branch and eliminating one of the core checks and balances provided by the Constitution.
Clause 4 extends that prohibition to the other federal courts.
Don't believe me? Let's look at the actual wording.
Sanctity of Life Act of 2007 - Declares that:
(1) human life shall be deemed to exist from conception , without regard to race, sex, age, health, defect, or condition of dependency; and (2) the term "person" shall include all such human life. Recognizes that each state has authority to protect the lives of unborn children residing in the jurisdiction of that state .
Amends the federal judicial code to remove Supreme Court and district court jurisdiction to review cases arising out of any statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, or practice, or any act interpreting such a measure, on the grounds that such measure: (1) protects the rights of human persons between conception and birth; or (2) prohibits, limits, or regulates the performance of abortions or the provision of public funds, facilities, personnel, or other assistance for abortions.

The important part again
Declares that:
(1) human life shall be deemed to exist from conception
This means that as soon as the sperm fertilizes the egg, a "human being" exists according to congress once this happens.
Thus abortion ends a "human beings" life, it is a murder. Which is a Federal and State crime. The congressional definition of life will begin at the moment of conception.
This bill makes abortion equivalent to murder.
Freezes out Roe V Wade.
I don't know why Ron Paul keeps avoiding this. I mean he is the one who authored and his introduced the bill. This is a question you should ask them, but from what I've seen from the Ron Paul campaign I wouldn't trust there answer. Which is sad because the guy keeps portraying himself as honest.
Again I hope you read this, but if you don't I really don't care. Choose to remain ignorant for all I care.
