I read this but couldn’t discern what Thompson proposes to eliminate abortion. What is he going to do about abortion if he becomes POTUS?

Push to overturn Roe vs Wade and then kick it back to the states again, the way it used to be.

He'll nominate far better judges to the Supreme Court that either Hillary or Obama. Hell, Giuliani, for that matter...

Since the President can not really do anything about abortion except appoint SCOTUS judges, and given his positions and his work with Robert’s nomination, I trust he will appoint judges that share our positions.

What else do you think he can do...

The answer is "nothing." As President, there is little he can do about abortion. Even the banning of "Partial Birth Abortions" had ZERO effect on the number of abortions performed. The abortion issue at the Presidential level is more of a "feel-good" litmus test to see if the candidate has similar views. It has no practical impact.

Talk to people in your community. Influence people one person at a time. That's the way to change things!
