In a new statement about his pro-life views, Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul said he would sign a ban on taxpayer funding of the Planned Parenthood abortion business if elected president.
Paul is a Texas congressman and physician who has long-held pro-life views on abortion and has delivered thousands of babies as an obstetrician. He has a mostly pro-life voting record, but has opposed some pro-life legislation because he opposes making certain issues federal in nature.
The comments on Planned Parenthood came in the context of decisions he would make and bills he would sign and he indicated his first priority would be to veto spending bills that contribute to an unbalanced budget.
“Second, I will veto any spending bill that contains funding for Planned Parenthood, facilities that perform abortion and all government family planning schemes, he said.
