Maybe the abortion poll will help us decide what to do about the infomercial and it's heavy anti-abortion message at the beginning...

Iowa Republicans are very strongly pro-life (and hence also strongly anti-war).
Infomerical is perfect the way it is.

I very much dislike the anti-abortion message at the beginning of that clip. It sure as hell should not be played up like this outside of Iowa. But if it wins Iowa, ok.

Personally, Im glad its in there. Abortion and immigration have always been the 2 issues that have kept me from supporting the libertarians. Luckily enough, Dr. Paul. gets it right with me on both of them.

Am most republicans are against abortion and pro-life......
And did you notice how they edited the video to gloss over his opposition to the war in iraq? In fact, its kind of noticeable...Dr. Paul is talking about failing to get bin laden in afghanistan and is about to say "and instead of getting bin laden, we went to war........" and it ends right there, when the sentence is really saying that we went to war in iraq.

It sure as hell should be played in SC! Thats 1 of 3 questions you're guaranteed to be asked when campaigning here, pro-choice or pro-life, with everyone practically wanting pro-life.
I don't know where you all are getting the idea a pro-life message will be bad. Most republicans are pro-life, and I believe most people in Iowa are pro-life too, and I know the overwhelming majority of people here in SC are pro-life.
If he was a democrat, then yes we would have to worry bigtime lol.

I doubt most of Dr. Paul's supporters are pro life, especially the younger ones.
Most of us think the government should stay the hell out of our lives.

Right, I think we sometimes forget that we're trying to win the REPUBLICAN nomination and not the Democratic or Libertarian nomination here. REPUBLICAN primary voters are strongly pro-life and anti-illegal immigration. This ad will win the right voters. It's perfect.
I totally agree. I'm strongly pro-choice, but I still support Dr. Paul...At least he will leave the issue up to the states, so you can choose to live in a state that has abortion or one that doesn't
I wish Dr. Paul would reconsider his abortion stance though--he talks about rights and liberty and freedom so much, and yet doesn't agree that the ability to have an abortion is a civil right. (And I don't mean late term abortion, which I'm STRONGLY against. I'm basically talking about first trimester abortion)

He feels the fetus is an individual - so he is, actually, preserving it's right to live. He has a point too when a person can be convicted of a double homicide when they kill a pregnant woman.

Most of us think that the government should protect life! Go check the poll results! It's overwhelmingly pro life. Iowa Republicans are overwhelmingly pro life. Remember, Ron Paul is running for the nomination of the REPUBLICAN PARTY! He's not going to change his abortion stance after 30 years of protecting life. Ron Paul believes that the unborn has rights and he's protecting their rights! You can't protect liberty without protecting life!
