It’s not rewriting history to say FDT is prolife. Show just one vote of his that was prochoice.

You won’t find any.

FDT is undeniably prolife.

I'm glad that Thompson has always voted for Restrictions on Abortion. I honestly am.

And, if he's elected President (that is -- if he runs at all), I hope that he will make good on his recent declaration that Roe vs. Wade was "Bad Law and Bad Medical Science", and help to return Abortion to the States. I honestly do.

My point simply concerns a matter of history -- in 1994, Thompson said he was "Pro-Choice". Now given that his version of "Pro-Choice" was that he only favored the Legality of Abortion in the First Trimester, with Restrictions, he certainly wasn't on EMILY's List.

But he wasn't declaring himself "Pro-Life"; he was declaring himself "Pro-Choice". It was 13 years ago, and I think he's gotten better. I'm simply pointing out what the man himself was saying at the time.

Ronald Reagan made a horrific mistake on Abortion, but he turned around mightily. If Fred has done the same, good on 'im. There's no harm in admitting past mistakes.
