Dear Mrs. Brown,

What do you think of Rep. Paul Ryan? Although his voting record seems to be 100% prolife some people who say they are prolife have come out against him becuase of his comments about Ayn Rand. They say he is one of her admirers.

Sincerely, Diane

If you read this excellent article about Paul Ryan by Steven Ertelt,http://www.lifenews.com/2010/09/20/nat-6701/, you will note immediately that Ryan is not pro-life. After all, the article states

"Ryan, the top Republican on the Budget Committee who has a strongly pro-life record and is viewed as a conservative who is very knowledgeable on health care issues, talked about the place social issues have in the election.

"We will agree to disagree on those issues," Ryan said last Monday on CNBC. "But let’s rally around the tallest pole in our tent: fiscal conservatism, economic liberty."

"That stands in stark contrast to the remarks of several pro-life leaders who spoke at the Values Voter Summit over the weekend. They emphasized that pro-life values can’t be placed behind fiscal concerns."

Cogressman Ryan, like so many other politicians, wants to use a pro-life label to be elected but he is Republican first and that is not a good thing.
