And why would you not? That's how he voted.And why would you not agree that he's opposed banning abortion, when he's said as much repeatedly? It's a fact that Thompson has supported some restrictions on abortion (like banning partial birth abortion) but opposes a general ban on the practice. He's been clear on that.

No, that is precisely where you are muddying the waters. He has NOT been “clear” on that.
It is not clear if his opposition to the general ban is a result of his position on states rights/Federalism.

Your quotes range in date from 1993 to 1997. Thompson's conversion to being pro-life, while possibly evolving during that time, may be finally subsequent to that.
