One objection I have heard to voting for Ron Paul is his stance on abortion. He is a pro-life candidate. He feels that abortion is a state issue, not a federal government issue. Let's look at this issue and really consider how important it is before we go making a decision to not vote for him based on a single issue:
Abortion is what is called a "distraction issue".
Abortion affects like .01% of the population.
The Patriot Act, the war, 9/11, etc. affect EVERYONE.
I live in Califonia. What our president's views on abortion are will NEVER affect the legality status of it here, it will always remain legal, therefore the issue at the federal level has zero relevance.
You can vote for Hillary or Rudy G or Obama over Ron Paul, keep your endless "war on terror", your patriot act, your elimination of the constitution. But you will have abortion. And heck, maybe flag burning and gay marriage too while you're at it!
The point is, while it's important to know where candidates stand on all issues, there are FAR more important ones than abortion.
