Rough Cut

Ron Paul, Whoopi and Abortion

Ron Paul visits the ladies of The View and tussles (ever so patiently) with Constitutional scholar Whoopi Goldberg on the intricacies of Roe v. Wade.

Good lord. What was he thinking going on the View to talk about abortion?

Vince Daliessio | December 4, 2007, 11:23pm | #

I think he did a GREAT job, he was calm, consistent, reasoned, and respectful, and the women were in turn respectful to him. As good a venue as any to make the case that a President Paul is no threat to women's rights, and he did just that.

It was interesting how the women of the View have more calm, reasoned arguments than Bill O'Reilly.

At what point did Whoppi pretend to be a "Constitutional Scholar"? Nowhere. (Anyone who watches The View deserves whatever pain they get, but Moynihan's snide comment makes no sense.) And Paul completely evaded the question of first trimester abortions, constantly changing the topic to "8-month olds". He wants to criminalize abortion, even in the first trimester, but rather than admit it to a (mostly) hostile audience, he threw up the old "states' rights" smokescreen. Yawn.

Wrong
I do not know how many ways he can state his position. Abortion is not a federal matter. It is an issue for States to decide. This is not a topic for a presidential election

He could have done better. However I also heard he is the only repulican candidate to be invited on that show. I guess that is a good thing, they like him enough to invite him on the show and they don't even like the other candidates well enough to invite them on.
