In un momento di difficoltà per il miglior candidato, da decenni a questa parte, alla presidenziali americane, e in un momento in cui da noi si parla o si blatera di aborto, meritano una piccola segnalazione alcuni passaggi della kilometrica pagina di wikipedia su Ron Paul.

...Assuming the practice of a retiring doctor in Lake Jackson, Texas, in a single day, Paul became the only ob/gyn doctor in Brazoria County, reportedly delivering 40–50 babies a month and frequently busy with surgery. His practice refused Medicare and Medicaid payments; he worked pro bono, arranged discounted or custom-payment plans for needy patients, or otherwise «just took care of them».

...Paul was the first Republican representative from the area; his successful campaign against Gammage surprised local Democrats who had expected to retain the seat easily in the wake of the Watergate scandal. Gammage underestimated Paul's support among local mothers: «I had real difficulty down in Brazoria County, where he practiced, because he’d delivered half the babies in the county. There were only two obstetricians in the county, and the other one was his partner».

...In 2005 and 2007, Paul introduced the Sanctity of Life Act, which would remove federal court jurisdiction over abortion cases arising from state laws and effectively negate Roe v. Wade as binding legal precedent. Also, for the purposes of statutory construction over the jurisdictional limitation imposed, the bill declares that «human life shall be deemed to exist from conception». Paul has also introduced a Constitutional amendment with similar intent. Also in 2005 and 2007, Paul introduced the We the People Act, which would forbid all federal courts from hearing cases on abortion, same-sex marriage, sexual practices, and government display of religious symbols, texts, and images. The Act would make federal court decisions on those subjects nonbinding as precedent in state courts, and would forbid federal courts from spending money to enforce their judgments.

Infine, il bellissimo articolo che Paul scrisse quando morì Giovanni Paolo II.
