Thanks for the props.

Here's the point I've been making.

Thompson was recognized as a pro-choice Republican in 1994, according to NR, on a letter to a constituent, while discussing the issue of abortion, Thompson said the following:

"I believe that government should not interfere with individual convictions and actions in this area."

If indeed he said that, and I believe that he did, how do you explain his statement as anything OTHER than a pro-choice position?

Adittionally, since overturning Roe v. Wade would be totally consistent with his notion that government should interfere in no way in an individual's decision, and the fact that it being overturned does not make abortion illegal, when it comes to abortion, stating that he believes Roe v. Wade should be overturned does NOT make his a pro-life position.

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.
