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

The man sounds like a small government conservative.

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." Well, this may not be acceptable to some pontificating on this thread, but in an odd way Fred is correct again ... so long as there is any place a woman wanting an abortion can go to have one, legal or illegal, she is the one who must make the decision ultimately.

Law confirming the personhood of an alive unborn child can be written to stop a huge percentage of abortions, but ultimately the concept of self defense so deeply ingrained in Western Law will force some legal abortions to be allowed, until the entire pregnancy can be maintained ex utero in an artifical environment. Then, I suppose the issue will be moot and killing an alive unborn will be outlawable.

We should save money on cops by keeping the government out of any rapes involving your female relatives, or any burglaries at your house, or any shootings where someone uses you to sight in their new machine gun.

There. Now I'm a "small government conservative."
