Fred Thompson in 1994: Let The Woman Decide - Monday, April 09, 2007 @ 3:06:23 PM

		During his first run for the U.S. Senate, Fred Thompson said in an interview to a libertarian Republican newsletter that the ultimate decision to have an abortion "must be made by the woman." The comments were made in the July/August issue of Republican Liberty, the official newsletter of the Republican Liberty Caucus. In the interview, Thompson was asked: "Some conservatives got flustered by your comments on abortion and Roe vs. Wade. Would you like to explain your position on abortion?" Thompson answered: "Government should stay out of it. No public financing. The ultimate decision must be made by the woman.

[Doohickey]

What? Nothing positive to say about your guy?

[Petronski]

Wait until Fred decides to run.

And now you sound like you're promising to smear Fred further. Is that what you're saying?

[areafiftyone]

LOL This is not a Rudy thread but they have made it one. But I knew they would. I got to prove my point tonight to myself and I’m happy.

They will decide.. They will vote for Hitlery 2008...
Many of the 20 million Legal and Illegal Aliens will vote for her too..
2006 was just a test for 2008..

The fear of Fred’s entry is so obvious as to be laughable.

What happened to competition? I am beginning to think that some here want a coronation of their particular candidate. NOT happening, and that applies to ALL candidates.

[Hostage]

This guy is just having his ‘Rosie’ moment.

WTC 7 was a controlled demolition.

FDT is prochoice.

Yep, they must have the same mother.

[pissant]

Hehehe. I still have yet to reveal who YOU will vote for in the primary. ;o)

[Petronski]

I got to prove my point tonight to myself and I’m happy.

You're happy you proved you're willing to resort to obfuscation and misdirection to smear a pro-life pro-gun candidate in order to advance (as if) the prospects of your pro-abortion, gun-grabbing candidate Rudy?

[areafiftyone]

Um how come when I was talking to Pissant you decided to answer? Are you trying to provoke me? LOL! So sorry it won’t work. I was talking about the Duncan Hunter fans going to Fred Thompson when he decides to run NOT about posting articles about Fred. READ FIRST PLEASE!

[onyx]

LOL -— I suspect you’re going to be wrong.

[oceanview]

Let’s see what happens in the debates regarding this issue. I’d like to see Thompson answer the question directly:

“Assuming Roe were tossed, if a state has decided that first trimester abortion is legal, on what basis does it then dictate that a poor woman who otherwise receives health care through public assistance, should be denied access to the procedure?”

Let me hear him answer it.

[Petronski]

Are you trying to provoke me?

Nope. Only to make clear in the record what makes you happy.

Again, if you want a private conversation, use PM. This is a public thread.

[pissant]

I already wrote it down for safe keeping, in a date stamped file. LOL

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Thompson answered: “Government should stay out of it. No public financing. The ultimate decision must be made by the woman.”

A fair and reasonable answer at the time.

You conveniently ignore Thompson's solid pro-life voting record.

You should change your screenname to LiberalOpinion.

[Hostage]

The answer is too easy.

That is for the states to decide.

[onyx]

Planned parenthood or some other liberal organization will fund the abortions for the poor.

[areafiftyone]

I’m not having a private conversation. LOL its quite simple really I address a freeper and you answer for them. Why is that?

[Gop1040]

“LOL This is not a Rudy thread but they have made it one. But I knew they would. I got to prove my point tonight to myself and I’m happy.”

I think your post caught them by surprise. They can’t deal with it except to deny it, or through avoidance redirect it towards Rudy. That says alot.

[onyx]

I recall that you sent it to yourself in FR mail so it’s dated and time stamped. I told you that FR mail can be altered, but you promised you wouldn;t alter it... said you wouldn;t know “how.”

[Petronski]

I'm not answering for them. I'm answering a question asked on a public thread. If you don't want answers other than from the person you address, use PM.
