National Right to Life Committee | July 8, 2007 | Karen Cross

It appears that there is an attempt to create confusion regarding former Senator Fred Thompson’s pro-life position.

You can go to National Right to Life’s website to see Senator Thompson’s voting record against abortion, euthanasia, and experimentation on unborn babies’ bodies. As you can see, Senator Thompson had an excellent pro-life voting record while in the U.S. Senate.

I am concerned that someone may be misleading you about his record. Regardless, I assure you it was not from National Right to Life. National Right to Life PAC supported Senator Thompson for the U.S. Senate in 1994 and 1996, and considered him to be a very pro-life Senator.

Senator Thompson has since reaffirmed his pro-life position. I am attaching a link to the statement he made to the National Right to Life Convention:

Fred Thompson's statement to the National Right to Life Convention

Thank you for your interest and concern on this critical issue.

Sincerely,
Karen Cross
Political Director
National Right to Life Committee
512 10th Street, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20004

P.S. Following are quotes by Senator Thompson:

"I think Roe v. Wade was bad law and bad medical science. And the way to address that is through good judges." - "FOX News Sunday with Chris Wallace," FOX News, March 11, 2007

"I think the Supreme Court was absolutely right in this abortion decision, the… partial-birth abortion decision. The very idea that we could even have a debate over whether or not that atrocious activity should be alowable is very unfortunate, to say the least." - "Hannity and Colmes," Fox News, May, 4, 2007.

"I am pro-life. " - "Hannity and Colmes," Fox News, May, 4, 2007.

Well his voting record should silence the critics.

One of several good things about Fred is that he doesn’t seem to use phony arguments out of convenience. I hate it when someone claims something is a state issue but is perfectly fine allowing the federal courts to legislate the matter, figuring they will win and the opposition will have no recourse. That way the politician can claim to be against something when he is really for it. He just plans on getting activist judges to do the legislating.

Facts and truth never silence the critics. It only makes them pause in their attacks.

On this topic I’ve just gotten an alert:

Thompson is getting viciously slaughtered again here. Like I said, I have to keep my posts to a minimum, although I can get in every once in a while, but we need some backup to debate these folks hard.

Get some FReducation.

You're awesome! Where do you come up with these??

[hoosierpearl]

Thank you for this post. What National Right to Life has to say about him is important to me, as I am sure they watch voting records very closely. A very reliable source of information.

Some are mine, some I “stole”, and some my 13 year old son and 11 year old daughter came up with. :)
