I don’t think Ron Paul is allowed to officially endorse Bob Bird. He can’t endorse a non-Republican if there is a Republican in the race. He also can’t endorse a Republican challenger against a Republican incumbent in a primary. That is one reason why his list of endorsements is so different than the freedomslate.

A nationwide solution to stop abortion is no solution. Here are the problems with it:

A) Protection of unborn human life would rest on a teetering and changing majority. You cannot win every election. Bad solution.

B) It would rely on court interpretations. More trouble.

C) It would rely upon executive willingness to enforce it. Would you trust a President Obama to do so?

D) A Constitutional Amendment would admit that the supreme court had the lawful authority to interfere with this question in the first place.

E) We got abortion-on-demand all nine months of pregnancy from overweening federal power. The solution is not to create MORE federal power, but to reduce it.

F) Federal power created to do something good has always turned into something ugly or unintended. Imagine ‘Reproductive Bureaucrats’ such as exist in China. They might visit women each month and require to check on menstrual cycles for pregnancy. Then you might have to prove your miscarriage wasn’t an induced abortion.

G) My thesis ‘The 19th Century Physicians’ Crusade Against Abortion’ shows that the prolife doctors back then understood that states could manage these difficult social questions best.

H) Finally: we should be ‘these united States’ not ‘THE United States’. In a properly functioning federal republic, we keep the scope of federal power to foreign policy, trade and defense. With a myriad state-to-state defense of unborn human life, we would be spared a sweeping, one-size-fits all’ legislative or judicial tyranny against our descendants.

Of course,these are unsubstantiated rumors–NOT fact.
Here IS a fact–this man is an incredibly intelligent Constitutionalist. I wish the Libertarian in the race would drop out and endorse Bob Bird. Libertarians can easily feel safe voting for Bird, who probably should have sought their nomination.
