That could be true if you supposed that anything not specifically illegal, was legal, which it is not.
In addition, if Roe V. Wade were overturned, then abortion would be called what it, in reality, is...murder.

In just three weeks, Fred Thompson has transformed the contest for the Republican presidential nomination. It is not merely that he has come from nowhere to double digits in polls. He is the talk of GOP political circles because he is filling the conservative void in the field.
Republican activists have complained for months that none of the Big Three -- Rudy Giuliani, John McCain and Mitt Romney-- fits the conservative model of a conservative leader for a conservative party. The party faithful have been waiting for another Ronald Reagan. But in conversations with them the past year, nobody mentioned Thompson as the messiah until he appeared March 11 on "Fox News Sunday."
Thompson was surprised by the reaction to his statement that he was "giving some thought" to running. In the first Gallup Poll that listed Thompson (conducted March 23-25), he scored 12 percent -- amazing for someone out of public life for more than four years who has not campaigned. More important is his backing within the political community. Buyer's remorse is expressed by several House members who endorsed Romney, the former Massachusetts governor.

If you believe that, then you can prove it to me by voting for Hillary if at election time it’s her and Rudy on the ballot.
He didn’t aswer the question, did he?
Thanks...most of the time people tell me that makes me pro-choice. I can not make them understand.
I had 3 children and would have taken 3 more when they grew up and were out of the nest!
Today that group would have been “on their own” too. It is my loss.
Absolutely. There's no way in hell America will ever elect Bill Clinton president.
I won’t vote for either one of them, and you can count on that.
Counting is not an attribute that anyone will have to equate you with at that point.
P.S. If you are a registered Republican, you fit the real definition of a RINO.
You are pro “it’s none of the government’s business”, and I like that.
Save the sloganeering for the rubes.
It was called abortion before Roe v. Wade, it's called that now, and it will be called the same after Roe v. Wade.
You can illustrate that of course.
Hey T...this should raise an eyebrow.
You are obviously out of loop about the doctrine of the penumbra of illegality. You need to keep up.
LOLOLOL - Are you fricking serious?
There you go again, putting the cart before the horse.
There's a little thing called the "primaries" you know. Maybe when Rudy wins the nomination I'll drag out the industrial-strength clothespin. But until then, he shouldn't be elected dog catcher.
So it’s legal.
Rudybots are delusional.
But it still comes down to one cherry-picked quote leading to the reasonable inference that he’s pro-choice, stacked up against numerous other quotes at the same time wherein he stated he was pro-life, and a very pro-life voting record.
I see where you are drawing your inference, and it’s imminently reasonable, but you are ignoring mounds of conflicting evidence.
>> P.S. A pro-life position requires government “interference” in making abortion illegal. <<
P.S. For the federal government, a pro-choice position requires the federal government usurping the rights of the people to decide the issue democratucally, and baselessly invalidating state law.
I am a conservative who usually votes Republican because the conservative candidate is usually a Republican. I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR A LIBERAL, regardless of the party affiliation.
It is the GOP’s responsibility to provide a real conservative candidate, and if they fail to do so, they will not have my vote. It will be their failure, not mine.
Frankly, if it is a choice between Hillary and Rudy, I would rather have Hillary. If she wins, the GOP will oppose her policies. If Rudy wins, they will support them.
