Ron Paul Takes the Pro-Life Case to the View

Ron Paul spent the first half of his “The View” appearance debating abortion with Joy Behar and the gang of liberal feminists:

While Paul isn’t the greatest debater on abortion, he managed to slip in some great points:

PAUL: It’s a legal position because I honor and respect the rights of the mother, but your home too, your home is your castle. I don’t want any government in your home, no searches without warrant-

BEHAR: Right.

PAUL: -no cameras. But you can’t kill your baby in your home.

BEHAR: Well, no, but that’s murder. That’s different.

PAUL: Yeah, okay, but somebody sees this- I have, as a physician, I’ve been trained to bring life into the world. And if I do harm to the baby, I get sued. So the baby is alive and has rights, right?..

PAUL: Well, the question is whether abortion should be done on demand and who controls it. What you’re saying is a very difficult problem that we can deal with. And the more difficult a problem that we have, the more you want it to be held locally. Before Roe versus Wade, before it was legalized across the board, on demand, states did, I saw it happening, abortions were done on rare circumstances and it was done with caution.. There was a recognition , there was a recognition that life was valuable. And I don’t think anybody is going to win this. You’re not even for abortion, for anybody, anytime, a minute before birth. You don’t want to abort these normal babies.

BEHAR: No, that’s murder.

He actually got Joyce Behar to admit that abortion at a certain stage is murder. Wow, that’s got to be a first.
