Right to Life supported Thompson in ‘94 and ‘96. Why would they support a pro-choice candidate?
I already answered that. Now you tapdance your way through what I posted to you.
Clara Lou,
The National Right to Life Committee is a great organization but it is a fairly pragmatic one. They are happy to support a candidate who is not entirely pro-life over a fully pro-choice candidate. They have also been known to endorse republican frontrunners in the primaries who appear more moderate on abortion over pro-life champions who have less chance of winning. To their credit, I will admit that Bush turned out to be much more strongly pro-life than many of us social conservatives thought at the time. So, in light of the NRLC’s history I would say that their support for Fred is positive but not definitive of his views.
