OB/GYN Ron Paul's Babies: Where Are We Now?

OB/GYN Ron Paul's Babies: Where Are We Now?
www.dailypaul.com


If you delve closely into Republican presidential hopeful Ron Paul's
background, you'll discover that he is a trained obstetrician. In
fact, for a span in the 1970s, Ron Paul was the only OB/GYN for Lake
Jackson, Texas. My mother was one of his patients. On May 11, 1971, at
approximately 3 a.m., Ron Paul delivered me into this world at
Brazoria County Hospital.

My family and I left Lake Jackson for the East Coast four months
later, and I only went back to visit once. I was amused and slightly
perturbed when I discovered during that visit that my birthplace had
streets named "This Way" and "Wrong Way." Yet having just spent a year
living in Ted Geisel's former dormitory at Dartmouth, I also found it
oddly fitting.

Since that visit some 15 years ago, I haven't given Lake Jackson nor
my brief Texan history much thought. But hearing about Ron Paul and
observing as he quietly builds support is beginning to make me wonder:
Where are Ron Paul's other 3,999 babies? Who are we? Where do we live?
Will Ron Paul get our vote?

I am asking for anyone who was born in Brazoria County, Texas, during
Ron Paul's obstetrical reign to send me a message. Since Lake Jackson
is a Dow Petrochemical town, many of us are probably scattered across
the country, if not the globe.

I look forward to connecting with Ron Paul's other kids and sharing my
results with the world here on AC in January.

Dr. Paul delivered the late songstress Selena into the world.
