Most republicans are only so-called conservatives, because they want to take away rights in order to protect their religion under the law.

Wade. As alarming and dystopian as it is to prevent the Supreme Court from upholding a woman's right, that certainly is not the extent of it. "I have a Bill in congress I certainly would promote and push as president, called the Sanctity of Life Amendment. We establish the principle that life begins at conception." -- Ron Paul "There has to be a criminal penalty for the person that’s committing that crime. And I think that is the abortionist. As for the punishment, I don’t think that should be up to the president to decide." -- Ron Paul So, he wants to establish Federal law to declare when life begins, and to declare that abortion is murder. But, to toss a bone to the audience, he wants to "leave it up to the states" on what to do with murderers. How reassuring. Ron Paul is as backwards on abortion as he is on civil rights & health care. The more I read about this man, the more frightened I am of him gaining popularity.

“I have a Bill in congress I certainly would promote and push as president, called the Sanctity of Life Amendment. We establish the principle that life begins at conception.” — Ron Paul

“There has to be a criminal penalty for the person that’s committing that crime. And I think that is the abortionist. As for the punishment, I don’t think that should be up to the president to decide.” — Ron Paul

So, he wants to establish Federal law to declare when life begins, and to declare that abortion is murder. But, to toss a bone to the audience, he wants to “leave it up to the states” on what to do with murderers. How reassuring.

Ron Paul is as backwards on abortion as he is on civil rights & health care. The more I read about this man, the more frightened I am of him gaining popularity.

Animal Activists are in trouble with big corporate government. I also saw Ron Paul speak about he wants people to be able to choose alternatie medicine, and I think they would help animals a lot I think. Over here in Europe they just got in law to stop and limit herbal medicines, so now they have to be tested etc. Way to go making Drug companies get even more power.... so giving people choice to use alternatives is important to stop these vivisection drug companies getting more power. I hope one day animals get rights but i dont think that is possible while the govt is run by corporations.

Just wanted to say I agree in full, that I came to similar conclusions about Ron Paul after the same sort of doubts, and that I hope he runs again in 2012.

Abortion is a crime. How can anyone fight in favor of such a disgraceful act. The fight should be to avoid unwanted pregnancy or how we as a society can support young people and collectively take on the responsibility of being stewards of the earth and our brothers' keepers. It is wrong to kill babies inside the womb or outside. How can anyone justify it or argue in favor of it. It is absurd, ridiculous, and I can't believe I have to hear it from people. Talk about the dark ages. I am not a "Christian" in the way most people think. I am a devotee of Krishna. Ron Paul is pretty cool, but he is just one person. We all need to be concerned with being real human beings. And that means being vegetarian and caring about animals and the babies in the womb. The Vedic literature ans Srila Prabhupada give guidance on how to bring about a rich and blissful culture. It is possible and those who are sincere are going to do it. Prabhupada says those who commit abortions will be concieved and aborted over and over and will not see the light of day. Karma. Abortion is murder. Abortion is a crime.

I read Animal Liberation over seven years ago and it convinced me to give up animal products and pursue a degree in Philosophy. Three years later after the repeated urgings of friends I read Atlas Shrugged and decided to solve the problem described in Animal Liberation through the free market by creating products that can out compete animal products. Over the years as I have continued on my life's pursuit I have found it astounding that there is no cross over between those influenced by Ayn Rand and those influenced by Peter Singer. It is somewhat common for people to hear that many philosophy professors have managed to avoid any knowledge of Ayn Rand's contributions to their field. Now that individuals are becoming famous and acknowledging Ayn Rand's influence on their life (for instance Ron Paul, Marc Emery, Alan Greenspan) I expect a shake up to be in the works for academic ethicists who have worked to silence her voice. As I see things that can only mean good things for veggie food and animals. I am so relieved to hear someone else who believes in animal freedom advocating human freedom as well.
