Re: My reservations regarding Ron Paul...

Ok, misleading title, there is really only one. Abortion.
From my understanding he would not institute some sort of national ban on abortion (please correct me if I am wrong), but would allow the states to make their own rulings regarding this matter.
This is definitely not the biggest issue for me, but I am a man. My concern lies in the reaction so so many females will have to this one issue. It doesn't bother me that he is a Christian (I am agnostic), and it doesn't bother me that he abhors abortion (I am pro-choice). What bothers me is that he greatly reduces his electability by running on this issue at all.
While he may gather support among Christian conservatives, I think he alienates a large portion of the folks that would generally be swayed by the rest of his platform.
Thoughts?

Why does it bother you? If it's a State's Rights issue, it means exactly that, the individual states make the decision.
I personally see no problem with the States making their own decisions on anything. Let the people vote.
