The Catholic church feels the same way about birth control. Should we consider banning that, too? To restrict the rights of those who chose to avoid pregnancy altogether? Birth Control and the Catholic Church

In theory I oppose habitual abortion, especially when it is a result of socialy unprotected encounters, but I do support a womans need to have options. Does nobody remember the "back-alley" abortion clinics that killed so many women in the past? You make a law prohibiting doctors from preforming the operation, and more women (and fetus') will suffer.
Where did I say that I was against abortion? I was just pointing out what Ron Paul has stated regarding his beliefs on the matter.

Most people here are too young to remember coat hangers and back-alley abortions.

If Paul gets his way, those that can afford to travel to states where it is still legal will have the advantage, while the poor will have to suffer the consequences of this law.

The next step probably will be to make it a federal crime again, but the anti-choice legislators won't admit to that at this point.
