Fred Thompson Again Says He Wants Roe v. Wade Abortion Case Reversed

Thompson has come under some criticism from pro-life circles because he took an official pro-abortion position in 1994 when he looked to represent Tennessee in the U.S. Senate.

Thompson's voting record is pro-life, he has never actively supported abortion, that's good enough for me.

Thompson has come under some criticism from pro-life circles because he took an official pro-abortion position in 1994 when he looked to represent Tennessee in the U.S. Senate.

This was based on an issues survey that he doesn't even recall filling out. He has stated over and over he disagreed with that statement..

[The Blitherer]

You know what really appeals to me is the fact that Fred has faith in the American people. He basically wants the decision on abortion to go back to the American people, and he has faith they will make the correct decision. I think ultimately that's what Federalism is all about.

BTW, I LOVED that grin after he said "It's in the Constitution."

[wagglebee]

I am inclined to believe him.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

His voting record is pretty good with the huge exception of CFR. Thompson is not perfect, but he is better than Rudy McRomney.

[nhoward14]

In before other candidate trolls post?

[wagglebee]

I would like to hear him say that he is disappointed to see what a fiasco CFR has turned into.

[LibLieSlayer]

Yes, Fred is pro-life... and this sadly proves that some Freepers have lied about him... something that is quite abhorrent to me.

I wonder if the former FReeper liberals who got bug zapped are now upset that Fred is pro-life.

[HerrBlucher]

Yes, Fred is pro-life... and this sadly proves that some Freepers have lied about him...
*********************************

What they have done is invent a new convoluted definition of “Pro-Choice” that applies to them only, and then claim that Thompson is “Pro-Choice” That way they get to lie and tell the truth at the same time. Its a great propaganda technique.....Goebbles and Michael Moore would be proud...

[SkyDancer]

Wait until the MSM start going after him for his role as a racist in some old TV/movie twenty years ago .... just because he played a part they’re moving to brand him a racist .... just like this other actor who played a nazi propagandist in the movie “Mother Midnight” (I think that was the name) starring Nick Nolte ....

Fred Thompson has sure changed his stance since 1994, when he was Pro-choice.

Some persons keep trying to paint him as a flip flopper. American Spectator had an article that traced the smear back to Romney evangelicals.

But it doesn’t matter. Romney is not going to win the nomination. And pro-life groups are solidly in FDT’s camp.

Sir you smell of...

You're no newbie, no excuses; you've read the rebutals...

[bluebeak]

but is he too lazy to actual follow through?

but is he too lazy to actual follow through?

This is like when they said that Reagan was a dumb, trigger-happy cowboy who slept too much.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

He has said something similar to that. This is the first I knew he didn’t necessarily what to repeal the whole thing.
