How many times has Ron Paul said the federal government should stay out of marriage? YET Congress is in essence the government for Washington DC, and Ron Paul voted that as a federal order gays are banned from adopting children.



WORTH REPEATING: Ron Paul voted to ban gays from adopting children.



How's that for non-federal intervention? The federal government will ban you from adopting children? Click to expand...

Ron Paul supports "Don't ask, Don't tell," meaning known gays removed from the military. In his logic was some drivel about how rights come from "the Creator" and then rambles of in his opposition to separation of church-and-state. Click to expand...

Although Ron Paul raged against Rowe V Wade claiming the federal government has no jurisdiction over abortion for decades, he turned around and sponsored legislation to outlaw abortions and now - seeking the Republican nomination - declares that life begins at conception and that any state that wants to outlaw ALL abortions may do so.



Ron Paul claims that abortion is CRIMINAL MURDER and wants citizenship rights to BEGIN AT CONCEPTION. Click to expand...

Despite the fact that he thinks the education department should be dismantled, he also thinks that public funds should pay for private Christian educations and supports a constitutional amendment in favor of school prayer. Again, not a libertarian stance at all. So while he claims the government spends too much, he thinks that paying the expenses of Christian schools should be by the government.





Not Jewish Schools. Not Muslim or Buddhist schools. Christian schools. Click to expand...

You guys know he is trolling yeah?The place you got it from is wrong. The bill he voted on in 1999 was H.AMDT.356 to HR 2587: An amendment to "prohibit" any "federal funding" for the joint adoption of a child between "individuals" who are not related by blood or marriage in D.C.Doesn't say he voted to ban anything other than federal funding to give people incentive to adopt. Nothing about banning gays to adopt.The fact that I already corrected you on this before yet you still persist on spreading this as fact is annoying.Paul voted in the affirmative for HR 5136, an amendment that leads to a full repeal of "don't ask, don't tell", on May 27, 2010.[201] He subsequently voted for the Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal Act of 2010 on December 18, 2010.Paul calls himself "strongly pro-life"[205] and "an unshakable foe of abortion".[206] In 2005 he sponsored the Sanctity of Life Act to define life as beginning at conception.[207] However, he believes regulation of medical decisions about maternal or fetal health is "best handled at the state level".[208][209][210] He believes that according to the U.S. Constitution states should, for the most part, retain jurisdiction.Paul refers to his background as an obstetrician as being influential on his view, recalling inadvertently witnessing a late-term abortion performed by one of his instructors during his residency, "It was pretty dramatic for me to see a two-and-a-half-pound baby taken out crying and breathing and put in a bucket."[211] During a May 15, 2007, appearance on the Fox News talk show Hannity and Colmes, Paul argued that his pro-life position was consistent with his libertarian values, asking, "If you can't protect life then how can you protect liberty?" Furthermore, Paul argued in this appearance that since he believes libertarians support non-aggression, libertarians should oppose abortion because abortion is "an act of aggression" against a fetus, which is alive, human, and he believes possesses legal rights.[212]Paul has said that the ninth and tenth amendments to the U.S. Constitution do not grant the federal government any authority to legalize or ban abortion, stating that "the federal government has no authority whatsoever to involve itself in the abortion issue."[213] However, this has not stopped Paul from voting in favor of a federal ban on partial-birth abortion in 2000[214] and 2003.[215]Paul introduced the Sanctity of Life Act of 2005, a bill that would have defined human life to begin at conception, and removed challenges to prohibitions on abortion from federal court jurisdiction.[207] In 2005, Paul introduced the We the People Act, which would have removed "any claim based upon the right of privacy, including any such claim related to any issue of ... reproduction" from the jurisdiction of federal courts. If made law, either of these acts would allow states to prohibit abortion.[146] In 2005, Paul voted against restricting interstate transport of minors to get abortions.[216]In order to "offset the effects of Roe v. Wade", Paul voted in favor of the federal Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003. He has described partial birth abortion as a "barbaric procedure". He also introduced H.R. 4379 that would prohibit the Supreme Court from ruling on issues relating to abortion, birth control, the definition of marriage and homosexuality and would cause the court's precedents in these areas to no longer be binding.[217] He once said, "The best solution, of course, is not now available to us. That would be a Supreme Court that recognizes that for all criminal laws, the several states retain jurisdiction."[218]Paul has asserted that he does not think there should be any federal control over education and education should be handled at a local and state level.Paul has proposed the use of education tax credits, included in his bill the Family Education Freedom Act (H.R. 612), which provides a $3,000 tax credit to families to choose their own schools. He has also introduced the Education Improvement Tax Cut Act, which would provide for a tax credit for up to a $3,000 donation to the public or private school of the taxpayer's choice, which would provide accountability and more money to America's schools from a local level.[226] Paul has also proposed tax credits of $5,000 per year for each family, which could be used for any school-related expenses, whether the children of the family attend public or private school or are home-schooled.[227]Paul supports stem-cell research generically, as evidenced by his authoring the Cures Can Be Found Act of 2007 (H.R. 457; H.R. 3444 in 2005), a bill "to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide credits against income tax for qualified stem cell research, the storage of qualified stem cells, and the donation of umbilical cord blood". However, Paul believes the debate over the embryonic category of stem-cell research is another divisive issue over which the federal government has no jurisdiction:Paul joined with his conservative colleagues in voting "no" on HR 2560, the Democrats' version of a federal ban on human cloning.[220] The Bush White House had strongly opposed HR 2560, saying "The Administration is strongly opposed to any legislation that would prohibit human cloning for reproductive purposes but permit the creation of cloned embryos or development of human embryo farms for research, which would require the destruction of nascent human life."[221]The amendment would not only “prevent tax payer money from being connected to abortions,” but would also prevent women from obtaining abortion coverage when they pay for it themselves.Schools shouldn't be giving away the morning after pill... I don't even need to research that to know the repercussions.Gotta go (can't finish each one) but is there a rule (asking mods) about spreading lies even after they've been corrected?
