Fred said the same thing in a 1994 video when he first ran for the Senate. Fred doesn’t believe in throwing young girls into jail for getting an abortion. He’d rather not make criminals of those young girls parents either. Fred has stated that prosecution of abortion doctors is a different story. I doubt you’d get 10% of Americans who would agree with jailing minors for getting abortions. Get real!
The guy you’re backing for POTUS, Massachusetts Mitt Romney, was an abortionist for 35 years. From 1970 to 2005 Romney supported Roe v Wade as the law of the land and abortion on demand as a woman’s Constitutional right.
In 2005 Mitt Boy said he had a political epiphany and became pro-life. We all know about Mitt and his late-term conversions. I’d call Mitt’s shift on abortion more like a political expediency. After all, he couldn't run for POTUS as a pro-choicer and expect to win the GOP nomination.
In fact, Mitt's never been a conservative. NEVER! OTOH, Fred`s been a conservative his entire adult life. Ever since he read Barry Goldwater`s book, The Conscience of a Conservative, while in college back in the early 1960`s.
Truth is, Romney never supported the Reagan agenda of the 1980`s and has stated so in public. His promotion of nationalized heathcare shows that Mitt has more in common with Hillary, than he does with Reagan or Fred!
Where is Slick Willard’s call for criminalization of abortion? Where is the link to his statement that women, even teenage girls, who have an abortion must be imprisoned?
With all this indignation, that call from Willard is essential.
You've misunderstood what I posted. I never said that young girls should be jailed for obtaining abortions. Nor women who do so. Along with the Republican Party Platform, I'm not for that.
My point was that Fred Thompson was defending his stance against the Human Life Amendment and in the process he characterized those who are for it as consequentially supporting the jailing of "young, young" girls. Rudy Giuliani did the same thing in February and he was soundly condemned here. Let Thompson do it and he gets defended.
