The article a51 posted was quoting FT.
“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.”
Fred Thompson’s VOTING record on this issue:
Voted YES on maintaining ban on Military Base Abortions. (Jun 2000)
Voted YES on banning partial birth abortions. (Oct 1999)
Voted YES on banning human cloning. (Feb 1998)
No, this Rudymite was quoting a reporter that quoted wrongly. The same news mag also came out and reported this smear was a smear.
I guess if it’s in the news, it must be true eh?
It's an attempt to imply he's pro-abortion. It's been done before, by Rudyphiles.
I think it's repeated every day.
But Rudy is the one who is pro-abortion, Fred is not.
The ultimate decision is almost always made by the woman and at least he didn't call her the "mother" which always makes me want to hurl.
You're looking silly FO, the fear of Fred;'s entry is causing y'all too much grief and for the life of me, I can't understand why.
The nest possible scenario is a full field of GOP candidates and may the best man win.
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.
