The bold would be a good idea but would lead to alot of false accusations wasting police time and causing higher taxes to cover the extra man power for the investigations. Safe sex needs to become less of a taboo subject and more of a common lesson imo. The lack of schooling I received was phenomenal and as I left school in 2010 I can't see that much changing in the last 2 years. I agree people should have proper reasons to abort such as if the child wouldn't have much of a life whether it be for financial or personal reasons. I just think people should have the option of choice. If not then there will be people going to backstreet clinics putting themselves at huge risk.
Choice definitely needs to be there and I don't think that's what Ron Paul specifically is trying to get rid of. As for my theory (I use "my theory" loosely, it's something I thought of but it's obviously been thought of before), I can't see false accusations being a real threat. I know it happens in every-day life, but I can't see people pretending they were raped to abort a baby. Also, this system would probably reduce the amount of people have unsafe sex, fearing that they wouldn't be allowed to abort if they didn't claim a rape (or lack of finances etc, a list of reasons would be there), I can't see them wanting police and other law-enforcements investigating their claims just to avoid having a baby.
It's food for thought anyway, some people argue life doesn't start until the baby itself moves its fingers for example. Some argue that life begins at conception. That's a debate that can never be won, it's opinionated. But if Ron Paul supports the "right for life" campaign then I agree. I know far too many people my age (18) who've had abortions already. None of them were raped, none of them are poor, it was all because of a pissed up one night stand. Touchy subject though, so many people have different opinions, this thread could easily turn into a abortion debate. Not really the intentions lol.
As for Ron Paul himself, the only reason I made this thread (as I'm not exactly super-into politics) is because of how fresh he was. He's effectively like the liberal democrats here. Someone who has ran for president multiple times who you know will never get it (same as lib dems here), but this time he has a massive following. Don't know if you saw, but he has predicted many things that have come true.
And just a video that I personally enjoy:
I probably sound quite bias, but he genuinely sounds like a guy who cares about what he says & says the right thing not to please the people, but because he believes it's right.
. CNN tried to skip him multiple times in their public face-off for the candidates, until the crowd were chanting his name lol.
