He’s pretty damn clear that he wants Roe v. Wade reversed.

It would be then up to each State. The overwhelming majority of States have laws on the books outlawing/limiting abortion.

Not sure what else one can do under the federal structure, except have a Constitutional Amendment, which will never happen.

Here is the deal, there is no doubt that Fred is a federalist, but on issues like abortion, he doesn’t play games like say, Ron Paul. Fred still votes pro-life, even if there may be questions on if the bill is more appropriate to the State level. Fred has always voted pro-life, period.

Oh that will be like a fart in the wind...

After her thighness gets the Dem nod, they will be chomping at the bit to pull the lever for Fred...

“Thompson adamantly opposes gay marriage but thinks that it should be left to the states to decide whether or not to amend their constitutions to ban the practice.”

I agree. Leave the Constitution alone!

“The influential Arlington Group...”

It’s way too early to worry about the Arlington group’s support. I imagine the Cupcake Maker’s Association is also withholding support.

I’m also witholding my support for anyone, as if that means anything, although I would support a candidate who’s in favor of cigars, chocolate fudge (for the ladies) and bourbon.

Isn't that the Constitutional way to change the Constitution anyway?

Article V
The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three fourths thereof...

I’ve never heard of the Arlington Group. What are they, and what do they do?

No, you posted it verbatim, I think I read the article as if that was a description, not the title (ie, a group from Arlington.)

Sorry for my misunderstanding..
