But not only has Dr. Paul claimed to be pro-life and made some negative statements about abortion, he has, as a member of Congress, actually tried to do something about abortion within the bounds of the Constitution he took an oath to uphold:
The right of an innocent, unborn child to life is at the heart of the American ideals of liberty. My professional and legislative record demonstrates my strong commitment to this pro-life principle.
In Congress, I have authored legislation that seeks to define life as beginning at conception, H.R. 1094.
I am also the prime sponsor of H.R. 300, which would negate the effect of Roe v. Wade by removing the ability of federal courts to interfere with state legislation to protect life. This is a practical, direct approach to ending federal court tyranny which threatens our constitutional republic and has caused the deaths of 45 million of the unborn.
I have also authored H.R. 1095, which prevents federal funds to be used for so-called "population control." Many talk about being pro-life. I have taken and will continue to advocate direct action to restore protection for the unborn.
None of Dr. Paul’s statements against abortion or actions to reduce abortion is good enough for some pro-lifers. One of the newest pro-life organizations, American Right To Life, has launched a vicious attack on Dr. Paul because he opposes both a federal law proscribing abortion and a constitutional amendment banning abortion.
What some pro-life people are doing to Dr. Paul just doesn't make sense.
