I'm not sure what you mean by social positions. From what I know all the folks up there are solid. Ron Paul favours putting the issue to individual states and letting them decide, which is something that I disagree with, given the historical precedent with the Dred Scott decision. As you said, Paul is for letting the states decide. Not just on abortion, but also gay marriage. He is against the Amendment to limit marriage to heterosexual couples as well.

I'm not sure on your views on the drug war, but Paul is definitely against. He is against the federal government making any drug illegal and sponsored a medical marijuana bill allowing states to decide whether to allow it.

He's also voted against laws to help catch online predators, saying that the government shouldn't be involved.
