Hmmm...here's what I've picked up at FR today:
He has been consistently conservative on social policy and his help in getting John Roberts confirmed as Chief Justice to the Supreme Court was critical. Thompson has a record in the Senate and he voted conservative, according to the American Conservative Union, eighty-six percent of the time. From: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1794264/posts
and
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)

Looking for more info. Where did you find that he is pro-choice?

Damn it, I can't find the article, but just a few weeks ago, there was a National Review article from 1994 that talked about the race in Tennessee in 1994, and it stated that "While both candidates describe themselves as pro-choice, Thompson favors parental notification and opposes partial-birth abortion, while Cooper has supported both." or something to that effect.

Anyhow, the info is out there, trust me. He ran as pro-choice in 1994, and he never changed those views, at least publically.
