Ron Paul should explain this

The one good thing about- er, eccentric presidential candidate Ron Paul is that he's pro-life.

Still, I'd like to hear him (or someone) explain why his NARAL (National Abortion Rights Action League) ratings for the past three years have been 65%, 75%, and 65%, respectively.

NARAL's prochoiceamerica.org- does rightly judge Paul's record over the years as "antichoice" (anti-natalistspeak for "pro life"). His NARAL rating four years ago was zero. But I'd be interested in knowing why Paul has voted with NARAL nearly two thirds of the time over the past three years.

Without looking at the actual votes, one can still figure that the 2/3rds where Ron voted with NARAL may be because the government wanted to spend money towards anti-abortion measures such as abstinence education. Such things would conflict with his anti-government (and dare I say, "original intent" of the Constitution) philosophy.

That makes sense- though to invoke "original intent" in this context seems to me the equivalent of insisting that congressmen arrive at the Captitol on horseback.
