Well crait I'm not sure why you wanted to try and start an argument anyways, and I'm not sure if you are just that bad at reading charts. The sources you listed for teen pregnancy didn't list Texas as #1, the first one clearly listed it as #5... and judging by the color codes on the map it seems a majority of the states that are at the top of the list are in very close to Texas. I know it's quite high (as well as it's total population) but so are the surrounding states as well, just try to be more accurate next time you throw out statistics.
And obviously Paul didn't say it directly that he supports those things but when he was asked directly whether he thought heroin & prostitution should be legalized he quickly diverted away from the question and went straight to religious freedom. He was then asked again whether he thinks heroin and prostitution are an exercise of liberty, and said yes, if he leaves it up to the states then it'll be up to the states. He never said that he thought heroin or prostitution was wrong, and was just trying to divert away from the question, and then attacked the man that asked the question. I'm certainly not a psychology major but I wouldn't put too much trust into his answer because he couldn't directly answer the question, and instead tried to veer away from the question.
And also he obviously strongly believes in freedom, and that was the idea behind what you quoted from my post. Of course it's everyone's right to have sex, so how can you consider it such a bad thing for teenage girls to get pregnant? So if they can't afford the baby then they shouldn't be allowed to get pregnant? I was simply getting at how can you consider the things you listed such bad things when you clearly like Ron Paul who strongly believes in liberty.
