Thread: Ron Paul Supports Morning After Pill. Herman Cain Does Not

I really like Herman Cain.

I can not understand how Ron Paul can claim to be a Christian and say that he believes that life begins at conception, and yet he supports the morning after pill, which destroys a fertilized human egg after conception that was on it's way to the mother's womb.

Cain against so-called "morning-after" pill

Forest Park, Ga., Dec. 17, 2003 - Herman Cain, conservative Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, issued the following statement in response to recent recommendations of an FDA advisory panel concerning the so called “morning-afterâ€

Can no longer support Ron Paul: morning-after pill

I can no longer support Ron Paul. I've discovered that in his book Liberty Defined, Ron Paul advocates the morning-after pill:

So if we are ever to have fewer abortions, society must change again. The law will not accomplish that. However, that does not mean that the states shouldn't be allowed to write laws dealing with abortion. Very early pregnancies and victims of rape can be treated with the day after pill, which is nothing more than using birth control pills in a special manner. These very early pregnancies could never be policed, regardless. Such circumstances would be dealt with by each individual making his or her own moral choice.

I had previously understood that Ron Paul would nullify Roe v. Wade, allowing the states to make their own laws, while using the bully pulpit to encourage them to outlaw abortion. The problem is he is using his current bully pulpit to encourage the morning after pill.
I will be removing my Ron Paul bumper sticker and be sitting out the 2012 presidential election.

Check out the Constitution Party

I am with you MichaelMalak. I too revoked my support of Ron Paul after I heard what he said about the morning after pill during the 9/22 debate. However, we need not sit out this election. I have begun researching the Constitution Party. With them, you get what is good about Dr. Paul along with a strong pro life stance. They do not promote the use or distribution of abortifacient drugs. If their nominee really does give his or her full support to the party platform, s/he will get my vote.

The top article is intentionally misleading. Perhaps someone that is more savvy at search and rescue can find the audio, or a video of the interview with Ron Paul concerning abortion. (he does an excellent job of explaining his position)

He does not say that he likes or agrees with the morning after pill, he states very clearly that he believes that life starts at conception.

Unlike Herman Cain, he has never delivered pizzas as far as I know, but has indeed delivered how many babies???????

Ron Paul believes that in order to win the abortion debate, which he believes we are now making much headway due to technological innovations and education that is making it very difficult for the eugenics folks to stave off, that the states should make this decision as the Constitution says nothing about this horrible procedure. Furthermore he advocates education and not legislation to finally put this issue to rest.

Legislating morality can be difficult and should be done locally, and Ron Paul recognizes this, as well as protecting those, asmuch as possible who wish not to have their monies spent on such an evil attrocity. If you don't like the policy of the state you can move to another state and vote with your feet. National policy leaves one with no where to run.

This is nothing less than a political hatchet job.

All is fair in love and politics.

Paul says he against abortions,but in Florida debate he is for the morning after pill.I watched the debate and heard him say it.I will not support Paul he changes his mind to whatever is conveinent at the moment.

Not to make light, but perhaps we could, while we are at it, bring up the birth control pill debate as well?

Eventually education, with technology will put this issue to rest, or at least place it back in the realm of true personal moral responsibility, as oppossed to making this such a political hot button issue.

All of the political sound bites through the years have done how much to end this horrible practice?

Ron Paul is right. Education and technology with the emphasis placed on personal freedom to do what is morally right. The Amish shun those who wander to far from the accepted norms in their society. They do not ask the government to solve their moral issues. At one time in this country shunning used to work on the critical moral issues of the day. What has the government done in the last 35 yrs since Roe v Wade?

Perhaps the pizza delivery guy would like to tell a rape victim how she and her family should act? Bet that would create for some neat political ammo.
