Ron Paul isn’t as pro-life as he led some of us to believe; in fact, he has a mixed recordon abortion: “Voted NO on restricting interstate transport of minors to get abortions. (Apr 2005) Voted NO on making it a crime to harm a fetus during another crime. (Feb 2004) Rated 56% by the NRLC, indicating a mixed record on abortion. (Dec 2006)”

Paul does have a mixed record, but I don't see where his lifetime votes on pro-life issues would earn him only a 56 percent rating. According to NRLC (check out the "votes" tab), he has voted 75 times with them in his career, 17 times against them, and 7 votes were not scored.

If you click the link, you will see more antilife votes than the votes I posted.

P.S. I’m in a bit of a hurry right now, but I’ll click your link later.

But what gets me most, is not only the number of antilife votes by Ron Paul, but also the seriousness of the votes, such as voting against a ban on sex selection, voting to allowing the govt. to trump the parents’ wishes:

“Voted NO on restricting interstate transport of minors to get abortions. (Apr 2005)”

plus other really bad votes.
