Yeah, I'd call it an exaggeration too...But if
compared to Satan's lesser demons running hogwild in the Halls of Government, Dr. Paul's
"sainthood" wouldn't be
much of an exaggeration.
Granted, I don't agree with all of his opinions either...For example, his Pro-Life stance, as mentioned here recently. As he's been a practicing
doctor for a
looong time, I can understand his position. However, even though I agree that life
should be held sancrosect, a woman must
still have the domain of decision over her own body...That's why I choose Pro-Choice (Even while at the same time, too many people wrongly equate
"pro-choice" with "pro-abortion").
Even so, since such a choice
must be reserved for the woman who is
most affected by such a choice, I also believe that this is
not an
issue for the government to decide in any way, shape or form. From what I know of the Laws of Nature, any species that overpopulates the
environment
will be dealt with according to those same Laws. So what's going to happen to the human race if we allow the government to outlaw
all choices for the human race to try to stabilize its population? Therefore,
by the Laws of Nature the woman must be allowed to choose, not
the government.
I'd like to believe that, if discussed in this manner with Ron Paul & considering how Pro-Constitution he really is, he'd see things the same
way...in that it's not for the government to decide,
regardless of his own opinion. Admittedly, I've never heard of anyone discussing it with
him in this way...Any reply of his (in interviews) that I've ever heard about, no one has actually asked him
specifically whether or not he
thought that his Pro-Life stance was ever
intended to be decided by the government.
