I understand the confusion. To me it is a warning that we could go too far in the attempt to eliminate abortion. What is the punishment? What are the limits? When would you allow abortion to be viable?

That is what read from this.

Thanks ... at least you gave a resaonable response. No other Thompson defenders on this thread seem to want to touch Fred's statement at all.

Frankly, it scares me. It's not the kind of language that genuine pro-lifers are in the custom of using ... "criminalizing young girls" ... "their family doctor" (how many abortions are comitted by "family doctors"?).

Hopefully he will clarify ... but for now his claim to be "pro-life" is suspect to me.
