If you vote Republican, most of the time (except for Ron Paul for example) you are being played

Speaking of Ron Paul the Great:

Paul also opposes abortion, which he believes should be addressed at the state level, not the national one. He remembers seeing a late abortion performed during his residency, years before Roe v.
