Do You Want to Stop Abortion in Your State?

This morning, the NRLC endorsed Fred Thompson for president. Here is
an article about Fred Thompson and his pro-life stance:

Now, perhaps, as the article suggests, he has had a change of heart
since his days of lobbying for National Family Planning and
Reproductive Health Association, a pro-abortion group. I am not
saying that a person can't change his mind. However, Ron Paul has
never changed his mind on abortion. As an OB/GYN he believes life
begins at conception, and always has.

I think what really separates these two candidates, on this issue, is
what they would do to stop abortion in this country. The end of the
ABC article quotes Thompson's plan to wait for opportunities to
appoint better judges and hope. While, Ron Paul would take an
approach that would immediately stop many abortions. He has been
trying to get the pro-life community behind this approach for years,
without success. It is so simple. He would remove the question of
abortion from the jurisdiction of the federal courts. Here is a quote
from his website on the issue:

"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 40 years of medical practice, I never once considered performing an
abortion, nor did I ever find abortion necessary to save the life of a
pregnant woman.

In Congress, I have authored legislation that seeks to define life as
beginning at conception, HR 1094.

I am also the prime sponsor of HR 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 HR 1095, which prevents federal funds to be used
for so-called "population control."

Many talk about being pro-life. I have taken direct action to restore
protection for the unborn.

As an OB/GYN doctor, I've delivered over 4,000 babies. That experience
has made me an unshakable foe of abortion. Many of you may have read
my book, Challenge To Liberty, which champions the idea that there
cannot be liberty in a society unless the rights of all innocents are
protected. Much can be understood about the civility of a society in
observing its regard for the dignity of human life. "

Ron Paul's approach would allow conservative states to outlaw
abortion, saving thousands of innocent babies in months, rather than
waiting years to appoint judges who may or may not overturn Roe v.
Wade.

Do the research, and then vote for Ron Paul!
