I believe that the 14th Amendment should be construed to protect the unborn.
The question I have is this. How can the Supreme Court prevent states from allowing it?
It’s not like an unborn child can take the mother and Dr. to court to get an injunction.
The only way to do this is for Congress to make it a federal crime to violate the civil rights of the unborn.
A reversal of Roe would essentially leave it up to each state absent protections for the unborn passed by Congress.

Makes me wonder how pro-life conservatives can support him?

More from the Americans for Life site:

http://prolifeprofiles.com/ronpaul

Excerpt:
Ron Paul wants to be pro-life but is officially pro-choice state by state, and so contradicts himself and wrongly assumes that states’ rights supersede human rights, concluding that a state like California has the right to permit abortion. But the right to life is God-given so there can be no ‘right’ to decriminalize child killing.

RE:"Shockingly, Ron Paul agrees with the central finding of Roe v. Wade itself," says Darrell Birkey, director of research for American Right To Life, "that the constitutional protection of human rights does not apply to unborn children."

Now come on, the central (made up) find of Roe was that the freedom to have an abortion is a US constitutional right. That is why it nullified all state abortion laws on the books. If all it did was what was stated above abortion would still be illegal in many states.

10,000 dollars Right to life is backing Romney.

(Dr.) Ron Paul needs to stop self medicating.

"Shockingly, Ron Paul agrees with the central finding of Roe v. Wade itself,"

Ron Paul is a feeble-minded boob who thinks the world of himself. His worshippers commonly say things like "If you support the Constitution you HAVE to support Ron Paul," which is a non-starter.

I can't stand him.

So now we have conservative judicial activists here (in a creative re-interpretation of the 14th amendment). Just because Ron Paul does not support this creative re-interpretation he is labeled as not being pro-life. It is really a stretch to make the case that now, in 2011, suddenly the 14th amendment protects the unborn. And that anybody who disagrees is not pro-life.

This particular Right to Life group would greatly benefit from a Ron Paul presidency, because the stuff they are smoking (illegal now) migh become legal with Ron Paul as president.

Changes to current situation, in order from least effective to most effective) would be:
- act of Congress (might be iffy constitutionally)
- overturning Roe vs. Wade (back to the states)
- Constitutional Amendment

Notice that president is not really involved here (apart from signing an act of Congress).

I am fine with any of the current GOP candidates, including Ron Paul. I am just a little sick and tired of all this in-fighting. It is making Obama look good in comparison... I am just hoping that the GOP nomination will be decided quickly and decisively so that this infighting ends.

Another tip of the hat to the VK. Had a disagreement with one of my son-in-laws during Christmas (and son-in-law is a responsible human). Had to put him in his place regarding paul. He was not changed in his opinion of paul though it was not due to a lack of trying. He will come around eventually. He thinks clearer than the paulbots.

[Fester Chugabrew]

The right to life is a fundamental federal issue. Not an area where Ron Paul, or anyone running for public office, should shrink from exercising authority. There is a rub, however, when it comes to practically exercising that authority, namely building enough prisons for all the baby killers and their proponents.

Would Ron Paul be in favor of federally funded abortions? No. Would he be in accord with legislation preventing people from exposing abortion for what it is? No. What is the track record - either by intent or effect - of other Republican Presidents when it comes to arresting baby killers?

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

Ron Paul’s core cult following hates the lip-service he plays to defending the unborn anyway. Never does it occur to these idiots that the little man is every bit as duplicitous and slimy as Mitt Romney.

Any serious pro-lifer who is even considering this lunatic needs to have their head examined.

[markomalley]

ping for some pseudo-constitutionalist garbage.

Per Dr. (states rights trump the right to life) Paul:

I don't see the value in setting up a federal police force on this issue any more than I do on other issues. The Fourteenth Amendment was never intended to cancel out the Tenth Amendment. This means that I can’t agree that the Fourteenth Amendment has a role to play here, or otherwise we would end up with a "Federal Department of Abortion."

Talk about a confused position. (A personhood amendment would mean that abortions would be handled by existing homicide laws, not separate abortion laws...you big dummy...and the Fed's constitutional role would be to make sure that the states enforce their existing homicide laws...you big dummy)

Talk about a confused man. I swear, I don't even think he makes a good libertarian.

[DNA.2012]

Ron Paul agrees with the central finding of Roe v. Wade itself

That is blatantly false. He never said that, and he is pro-life.

[randomhero97]

Ok we get it. Ron Paul is not a viable presidential candidate. Fifteen threads a day pop up to make everyone aware of that.

Any chance we can talk about how bad the economy is, though? You know like really important stuff.

Hope you’re happy with Romney, BTW.
