Except that Ron Paul wants to appeal the 14th amendment.
I've not seen anything that substantiates this.
If it is true, it's something I don't agree with Paul on. But if he does wish to repeal the amendment, well I think that says something very good about his method. That is to say, he intends to repeal something, as opposed to simply disregarding it when it doesn't ducktail with his decisions.

He has also proposed legislation that would neuter the federal judicial in cases of state laws.
Unless the Due Process Clause is being stepped on, which basically means a law does not comport with the Constitution, I don't see much of any reason for federal judges to be ruling on state laws.

But this guy was bringing his religious beliefs to work with him. He probably denied performing abortions on people who would die w/o them. I wouldn't put it past him, anyway. And if elected president, his beliefs would curb stem cell research and put a ban on Gardasil for young girls, both of which have seen substantial gains and benefits over the last few years.
The idea that he'd knowingly let a mother die to give birth is hogwash.
Paul stated he thinks alternative medicine should be licensed, on the idea that people should be able to treat themselves in any way they see fit. Under that idea, I don't see him limiting any medicine on a federal level.
Maybe what you meant was that he's against immunizations being mandated, which I believe you would be correct on. Sounds like Paul, but I don't know for sure.
Abortion and stem cell research are things he's against. But he isn't going to ban them. Like most things, he'd simply stop the federal governments involvement. Federal funding for stem cell research is the only thing about stem cells that would change. This is an effort to make the funding of such things as voluntary as possible. Federal funding of abortion or stem cell is a big middle finger to any tax payer who is pro life or against such things. Abortion would be wholly left to the states to decide, and what better way to do it?

Surely a disgusting cave troll isn't worthy of being responded to, especially when that response graces him with depictions of the late, great, Macho Man.
