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.
No, a reporter said that Thompson was "pro-choice". And of course, they never make mistakes (or even outright lie), do they?
