Norma McCorvey endorsed Ron Paul

Again, dated given the state of the nomination-- but a point still worth making...

From a press release (hat tip: Andy Maul)...

Ron Paul has officially received the endorsement from Norma McCorvey. McCorvey was used as a pawn by the pro-abortion establishment to spearhead federal control over our lives and ending the lives of about 50,000,000 babies in the United States. McCorvey has since turned to become a prolife activist seeking to overturn the federal ruling in her name, Roe v. Wade, and to return legal control back to the states.

- Ron Paul is the only candidate who is 100% prolife, no exceptions, no compromise.
- Ron Paul is the only candidate who sponsored the "Sanctity of Life Act" (HR 1094), defining throughout the nation when human life begins as always known by medical science but ignored by the judges during Roe deliberations.
- Ron Paul is the only candidate who sponsored the "We The People Act" (H.R. 300), removing the ability of activist federal courts to interfere with state legislation to protect life.
- Ron Paul is the only candidate who sponsored the "Taxpayers' Freedom of Conscience Act" (H.R. 1095), preventing federal funds to be used for population control.
- Ron Paul is the only candidate who sponsored the "American Sovereignty Restoration Act" (H.R. 1146), ending United Nations control over our national sovereignty, as the pro-abortion UN policies and international treaties would supersede and overturn any local, state, or national law.

Norma McCorvey's endorsement:

"I support Ron Paul for president because we share the same goal, that of overturning Roe v Wade. Ron Paul doesn’t just talk about being pro-life, he acts on it. His voting record truly is impeccable and he undoubtedly understands our constitutional republic and the inalienable right to life for all. Ron Paul is the prime author of H.R. 300, which would negate the effect of Roe v. Wade. As the signor of the affidavit that legalized abortion 35 years ago I appreciate Ron Paul’s action to restore protection for the unborn. Ron Paul has also authored H.R. 1094 in Congress, which seeks to define life as beginning at conception. He has never wavered on the issue of being pro-life and has a voting record to prove it. He understands the importance of civil liberties for all, including the unborn."


From Ron Paul's website - http://www.ronpaul2008.com/issues/life-and-liberty/

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.

In 40 years of medical practice, I never once considered performing an abortion, nor did I ever find abortion necessary to save the life of a pregnant woman.

In Congress, I have authored legislation that seeks to define life as beginning at conception, HR 1094.

I am also the prime sponsor of 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.

I have also authored HR 1095, which prevents federal funds to be used for so-called “population control.”

Many talk about being pro-life. I have taken direct action to restore protection for the unborn.


As an OB/GYN doctor, I’ve delivered over 4,000 babies. That experience has made me an unshakable foe of abortion. Many of you may have read my book, Challenge To Liberty, which champions the idea that there cannot be liberty in a society unless the rights of all innocents are protected. Much can be understood about the civility of a society in observing its regard for the dignity of human life.
