There are false posts on the Internet saying Ron Paul isn't pro-life. Here are Pauls views on the major issues.

Ron Paul speaks about the sanctity of life.
“The right of an innocent, unborn child to life is at the heart of the American ideals of liberty. My professional and legislative record demonstrates my strong commitment to this pro-life principle.” – Ron Paul
While many candidates talk about being pro-life, Ron Paul has taken direct action to restore protection of the unborn.
As a Congressman Ron Paul
• authored legislation HR 1094 that seeks to define life as beginning at conception.
• sponsored HR 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 of the unborn.
As an OB/GYN doctor, Ron Paul never once considered performing an abortion, nor did he ever find abortion necessary to save the life of a pregnant woman.
“Pro-Lifers should support Ron Paul for president.”
-Rep. Barbara Hagan, former Chair, New Hampshire Right to Life Committee

Ron Paul speaks about the Constitution.
Congressman Ron Paul is the leading advocate for freedom in our nation’s capital. As a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, Dr. Paul tirelessly works for limited constitutional government, low taxes, free markets, and a return to sound monetary policies. He is known among his congressional colleagues and his constituents for his consistent voting record. Dr. Paul never votes for legislation unless the proposed measure is expressly authorized by the Constitution. In the words of former Treasury Secretary William Simon, Dr. Paul is the “one exception to the Gang of 535” on Capitol Hill.
Constituents have named Ron Paul “The Champion of the Constitution” in his congressional district.
“Regardless of whether the President is named Bush or Clinton, and without respect to any particular political interest, we in Congress need to fulfill our oath of office and protect and defend the constitution and our republic. Our constituents deserve no less, and should demand it of all of us.” – Ron Paul

Ron Paul speaks about border security.
"The talk must stop. We must secure our borders now. A nation without secure borders is no nation at all. It makes no sense to fight terrorists abroad when our own front door is left unlocked." – Ron Paul
Ron’s Six Point Plan:
• Physically secure our borders and coastlines. We must do whatever it takes to control entry into our country before we undertake complicated immigration reform proposals.
• Enforce visa rules. Immigration officials must track visa holders and deport anyone who overstays their visa or otherwise violates U.S. law. This is especially important when we recall that a number of 9/11 terrorists had expired visas.
• No amnesty. Estimates suggest that 10 to 20 million people are in our country illegally. That’s a lot of people to reward for breaking our laws.
• No welfare for illegal aliens. Americans have welcomed immigrants who seek opportunity, work hard, and play by the rules. But taxpayers should not pay for illegal immigrants who use hospitals, clinics, schools, roads, and social services.
• End birthright citizenship. As long as illegal immigrants know their children born here will be citizens, the incentive to enter the U.S. illegally will remain strong.
• Pass true immigration reform. The current system is incoherent and unfair. But current reform proposals would allow up to 60 million more immigrants into our country, according to the Heritage Foundation. This is insanity. Legal immigrants from all countries should face the same rules and waiting periods.

Ron Paul speaks about Homeschooling.
...it is reassuring to know that we still have this freedom and this responsibility to our children but we cannot even take that for granted...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ron Paul speaks about taxes.
“By the way, when I say cut taxes, I don’t mean fiddle with the code. I mean abolish the income tax and the IRS and replace them with nothing.” – Congressman Paul 2002
As the ranking member of the House Financial Services Committee, Ron Paul knows a little about Federal monetary policy. Historically, Republicans believe in low taxes and a conservative, balanced budget. Dr. Paul is no exception. But most Republicans today have forgotten that low taxes without a balanced budget are a recipe for inflation, ever-increasing debt, and eventual monetary disaster. Liberals want to raise taxes to support bloated spending programs. Ron Paul would like to decrease taxes and spending, and tackle the root of the problem as well: the Federal Reserve system itself. The Fed is a private bank run by un elected officials who are not required to be open or accountable to “we the people.”
Ron Paul has:
• never voted to raise taxes.
• repeatedly been named the “Taxpayers Best Friend” in Congress.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ron Paul speaks about economic policy.
When the government finishes spending all the tax money, it borrows. When it has borrowed as much as it can, it simply prints what it "needs." As the money supply increases, the value of each dollar decreases—and prices soar. Ron Paul understands that inflation is not just a problem for the government to solve; it's a problem for the government to avoid creating. We cannot continue to allow private banks, wasteful agencies, lobbyists, corporations on welfare, and governments collecting foreign aid to dictate the size of our ballooning budget. We need a method to prioritize our spending, namely the Constitution of the United States.

Ron Paul speaks about foreign policy and the war in Iraq.
"...I am pro-life, I put myself in that category.. I think there is a lot of merit to the Christian just war theory.."
