Abortion: He ha...Ron Paul is not socially liberal.<br /><br />Abortion: He has sponsored "Life Begins at Conception" bills more than once, and advocates nullifying Roe v Wade by removing it from the purview of the federal courts.<br /><br />Marriage: He advocates getting government "out of the business of marriage". While this would move homosexual unions out of the purview of government and into the purview of religion, it would do the same for heterosexual unions. In my opinion, the strength of the family (a socially conservative ideal) has more to gain from the ending of government-defined no-fault divorce (and forcing everyone to write their own marriage contracts) than it does by keeping marriage a government-sanctioned activity and simultaneously excluding homosexuals from it.<br /><br />Drugs: Legalizing would, counterintuitively, reduce usage and crime, and would follow the model of Portugal, hardly the bastion of social liberalism.Michael Malakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10007582156392845677noreply@blogger.com
