Life and Liberty

Ron Paul believes life is the inherent right of an innocent, unborn child and that this issue resonates in the very heartbeat of the American ideals of liberty. Dr. Paul's professional and legislative record demonstrates his strong commitment to this pro-life principle.

In 40 years of medical practice, Dr. Paul has never once considered performing an abortion, nor did he ever find abortion a necessary measure to save the life of a pregnant woman.

In Congress, Dr. Paul has authored legislation that seeks to define life as beginning at conception (H.R. 1094).


Dr. Ron Paul is also the preeminent sponsor of H.R. 300, which would negate the effect of Roe v. Wade by removing the ability of federal courts to interfere with state legislation to protect life. This is a practical, direct approach to ending federal court tyranny which threatens our constitutional republic and has caused the deaths of 45 million unborn children.

Ron Paul also authored H.R.1095, which prevents the utilization of federal funds for so-called "population control."

Many talk about being pro-life. Ron Paul has taken direct action to restore protection for the unborn.

As an OB/GYN doctor, Dr. Paul has delivered over 4,000 babies. That experience has manifested Dr. Paul's position as an unshakable foe of abortion. Many of you may have read his book, Challenge to Liberty: Coming to Grips with the Abortion Issue, which champions the idea that liberty cannot truly exist in a society unless the rights of all innocents are protected. Much can be inferred in regards to the civility of a society by observing its regard for the dignity of human life.
