This is why I don’t vote Libertarian, and neither do most people.

Roe vs Wade isn’t about state vs federal rights. It’s about personal rights, and what is considered protected and unprotected. Right to life is commonly derived from moral and religious beliefs. Right to choose is derived from what constitutes a personal freedom.

Deciding on what is a government protected freedom, and what is not is well within the scope of government control.

Roe v. Wade will not be overturned either. Saying that it will is a scare tactic. Abortion is an easy issue to divide the entire country into voting blocks, much like gun control laws. In the end Abortion has been in practice in the U.S.A. for over 30 years, and it is fiercely defended by those that support and practice it.
If it was overturned, and that’s a big if, the protests, illegal acts of abortion, and doctoral protests would be overwhelming. Law enforcement would have to concentrate policing specifically on underground abortion clinics. It would create a veritable “war on abortion”. It would be a failure on the scale of Prohibition. Making abortions illegal, and enforcing that ruling are two very different things. And it’s been law for over 30 years, that alone carries volume in the litigious world.

And in regards to banking and money…

Gold standard. You really support that? We’re not talking about a commodity based standard in general, Ron Paul advocates for Gold.

In a broader sense a fixed good that carries a dollar value creates a huge system of imbalance between the nations that have gold, and those that don’t. The USA left a fixed standard because it didn’t work.

The federal government has no authority to regulate abortion on way or another….period.

Don’t you get it? He wants to remove the federal government from almost all aspects of our lives…and that means the ones you like AND the ones you don’t like.

I personally disagree with Dr. Paul’s belief that abortion is wrong. But he doesn’t think it is the role of the federal government to decide for you. If you allow Roe v. Wade, you allow another court in 20 years to make abortion ILLEGAL everywhere. Do you really want that?

That is why the federal system was designed. 50 states with 50 different policies. More and more we keep getting spoonfed the same one sized fits all policies that I am sure upset you greatly. Well, getting rid of federal power means getting rid of it in the places you support the outcome, I’m afraid.

As far as gold, the federal reserve is the greatest fraud ever perpetrated on the American people, and the inflation tax robs the lower and middle classes blind, while transfering that wealth directly to the bankers. You don’t need a large supply of gold to make it a money….you just decrease the increments, (son instead of trading in ounces you trade in grams) and add new commodites to money. You can use silver, platinum, palladium, nickel, copper, gold….and more if needed.
