That is not entirely true. While its true that Fred doesn't support a Human Rights amendment to the Constitution, based on a certain interpretation of the 14th amendment. The rest of the GOP`s pro-life plank Fred does support.
Including:
~ That is why we say the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed.
~ We oppose using public revenues for abortion and will not fund organizations which advocate it.
~ We support the appointment of judges who respect traditional family values and the sanctity of innocent human life.
~We oppose abortion, but our pro-life agenda does not include punitive action against women who have an abortion.
As Fred said today on MTP:
"... that’s been my position the entire time I’ve been in politics. I thought Roe v. Wade was wrongly decided."
"My public position has always been the same. I’ve been 100 percent pro-life in every vote that I’ve ever cast in, in my service to the United States Senate."
"I had an opportunity to vote on an array of things over eight years, whether it be partial birth abortion, whether it be Mexico City policy, whether it be transporting young girls across state lines to avoid parental notification laws and all that--100 percent pro-life."
"... let me finish on my point, and ... my legal record is there, and that’s the way I would govern if I was president. I would take those same positions. No federal funding for abortion, no nothing that would in any way encourage abortion."
"I think life begins at conception."
Slick Willy actually had a reasonable position on abortion while he was campaigning. Remember how he wanted abortion to be safe, legal, and rare? Unfortunately, he only concentrated on the “legal” aspect and did nothing to make it safer or rarer.
