Ron Pauls Record in Congress

[Psycho4Bud]

He does, although, think the states should vote on it. The federal government should not be involved.

This Act may be cited as the `Sanctity of Life Act of 2007'.

It says it in part B #2. States do not have the authority to ban abortions as a result of Roe v. Wade. Part B #2 puts that authority back into the individual states hand.

For such a diehard, conservative such as yourself, I am quite surprised at your liberal view on abortion.

I don't consider abortion a make or break issue on voting for a candidate, but I certainly do not want my federal tax dollars funding the procedure. Now, if my state votes to fund abortions, I will now have a CHOICE whether to stay or move to another state. In that case, I would truly be PRO-CHOICE.

"Pro marijuana? Just because he submitted a bill for legal hemp? Where are the bills for medical mj?"

Once again, Dr. Paul believes medical mj is a state issue and not a federal issue, therefore, he has no reason to make a federal mj bill. A federal mj bill to legalize is just as bad as the federal law making mj illegal. Both cause unnecessary interferance by the federal government.

Part A- "human life shall be deemed to exist from conception"

That would be a Federal mandate!

Part B-2-"the Congress recognizes that each State has the authority to protect lives of unborn children residing in the jurisdiction of that State."

States can then prosecute with their own penalties accordingly.


As for your argument on Federal Law regarding medical mj; there are currently states that have legalized this practice and still the feds are the ones raiding the suppliers. This law needs to be changed up on the federal level for the states to actually have the right to change up their individual laws.

The Supreme Court dealt a blow to the medical marijuana movement yesterday, ruling that the federal government can still ban possession of the drug in states that have eliminated sanctions for its use in treating symptoms of illness.

By a vote of 6 to 3, the court ruled that Congress's constitutional authority to regulate the interstate market in drugs, licit or illicit, extends to small, homegrown quantities of doctor-recommended marijuana consumed under California's Compassionate Use Act, which was adopted by an overwhelming majority of voters in 1996.
A Defeat For Users Of Medical Marijuana

So once again, since he has to be aware of this situation why isnt' there a bill submitted?

Have a good one!:s4:
