Fred Thompson told Tim Russert on NBCs Meet the Press Sunday that he DOES NOT support a Human Life amendment. That position is part of the GOP platform. Heres what the 2004 GOP platform says:
"We must keep our pledge to the first guarantee of the Declaration of Independence. That is why we say the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed. We support a human life amendment to the Constitution and we endorse legislation to make it clear that the 14th Amendment's protections apply to unborn children. Our purpose is to have legislative and judicial protection of that right against those who perform abortions." Heres what Thompson said about it lifted from todays Meet The Press transcript:
MR. RUSSERT: Let me ask you about an issue very important in your partys primary process, and thats abortion.
MR. THOMPSON: Mm-hmm.
MR. RUSSERT: This is the 2004 Republican Party platform, and here it is: We say the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed. We support a human life amendment to the Constitution, we endorse legislation to make it clear that the Fourteenth Amendments protections apply to unborn children. Our purpose is to have legislative and judicial protection of that right against those who perform abortions. Could you run as a candidate on that platform, promising a human life amendment banning all abortions?
MR. THOMPSON: No.
MR. RUSSERT: You would not?

That is a lie.
I am for civil rights for all. Civil Rights should be the same in each state. We can't have this state killing people and this one here not killing them. Who'd want to be trapped in the wrong state? Death by location? That's like stepping into a minefield.
saying “let the courts decide” is pro-euthanasia because justice system is infested with judicial activists who get hefty campaign contributions from the euthanasia movement (merchants of death). The ABA also supports euthanasia. Does Fred belong to the ABA? Hmmmmmmmmmmm? They really wanted Terri dead.
If you do not wish to consider yourself fettered by truth or accuracy, well, go right ahead. But leave me out of it.
And don’t expect that your “facts” won’t be questioned or labeled as false.
Okay. All I’ve seen is Fred being defended. What do Fred’s freepers like about him? They are not promoting him in a positive light, just defending his numerous positions and one liners.
