Re: Ron Paul - clear on abortion
[ QUOTE ]
Im against abortion... but im pro-choice and a libertarian (not of the US libertarianism though) so I think it should be up to the individual to decide if they want to abort their unborn baby. I certainly don't think its upto a conservative (or liberal) judge to force a 17 year old girl to give bith to an unwanted baby. There are also sensible domestic and economic reasons as to why abortion should be allowed e.g crime rates and the impossibility of preventing underground (more dangerous) abortion clinics.

That sounds like the same argument the left is using to justify giving out birth control to 10 year olds in the public school system.
"Well, they're going to have sex anyway, so we should give them taxpayer supplied birth control. But remember, we can't tell the parents about it, because that's infringing on little Sally's personal rights. And if we told her parents, they might not use it!"
