ACN Staff) The House of Representatives failed to pass a bill that would ban sex selective abortions on Thursday. Although a majority voted in favor of the bill (246-168), the measure reqired a two-thirds majority vote to pass. Many may be under the impression that the final vote tally was along party lines; however 20 Democrats actually voted in favor of the ban and shockingly, seven Republicans votes against banning sex selective abortions. Those Republicans were...

Justin Amash and Ron Paul Rinos? I think I would trust those two in almost anything. The rest I am not sure about.
Ron Paul, the Republican Presidential Candidate. He is worse than Al Gore.
I had thought that Ron Paul was pro-life. Was I wrong about that?
Justine Amash (R-MI)
Charles Bass (R-NH)
Mary Bono Mack (R-CA)
Robert Dold (R-IL)
Richard Hanna (R-NY)
Nan Hayworth (R-NY)
Ron Paul (R-TX)
Awwwww man, I was gonna go there.......To the pimp, just post youre article and I might have gone there, as soon as I saw no info I had decided to not go there....ever.
No decent American should support eugenics.

He is but he wants the states to decide for themselves cause that is what the constitution prescribes
I think it's a copout under the cirumstances.
Ron Paul is right. Conservatives have long argued that abortion is a States rights issue. Why was this bill any different?

Ron Paul has NEVER been pro-life; at best he is "personally opposed" to abortion, but pro-choice-by-state.
Either the baby being killed is a person or it isn't. If the baby is a person, his or her rights are protected under the Constitution. If the baby is not a person, what EXACTLY is it? Is there some evidence that it might turn out to be a giraffe or something?
The Constitution DOES NOT give each state the power to decide who is and isn't a person, any false notion of that is nullified by the 14th Amendment. The personhood-by-state experiment has already been tried once before in America and the result nearly destroyed the Republic.
It wouldn't have made any difference but that's not the point.
Ron Paul told a story about med school and how the doctors were aborting pre Roe vs. Wade. I wondered if he blew the whistle on them or kept quiet (I don't know what I would have done in a similar situation). I know he wouldn't perform abortions; at least I believe he's honest in what he says unlike a lot of others.
I wasn’t going to bite either. In fact, I’ll keep an eye out for ElIguana, our resident pimp, and make sure to avoid anything else they want to post.
Wrong. Such an ignorant claim is the province of Stephen A. Douglas democrats and Gerald R. Ford Republicans, not of conservatives.
States have no "right" to alienate the supreme God-given, unalienable right. In fact, they have an absolute duty to equally protect all innocent lives within their jurisdiction. Such is the primary reason for the existence of all governments, and all offices of government.
These are the ABCs of what America is. I'm shocked by how often I have to point out what to the founders was self-evident, or as-plain-as-the-nose-on-your-face, on FreeRepublic.com, of all places.
Conservatives have NEVER made this claim.
And, for the record, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS "STATES RIGHTS." People have rights, states have enumerated powers. Ron Paul and his followers are the ultimate statists, they are so beholden to a falsehood that will always result in the states taking away individual rights.
No, it does NOT.
The exact opposite is true:
"No State shall deprive any person of life without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.""No person shall be deprived of life without due process of law."
What part of "no person," and "no State," and "any person," and "EQUAL PROTECTION," do you, and Ron Paul, and Mitt Romney, fail to understand?
Because until Roe v Wade is overturned, liberal Justice Blackmun made it a national issue.
Even if it went back to the states which is won't, only a few states would manage to ban it now. I was a teenager when it started, and women used to have to go abroad. Then New York legalized it.
