Thompson campaign spokesman Darrell Ng told Cybercast News Service that Thompson has since clarified his remarks and does not favor changing the platform.

In other words, Thompson accepts the Human Life Amendment as a long range Republican goal. Thus, he has not rejected the GOP platform.

the primary reason for the HLA was for congress to overturn Roe by itself without depending on the SC. A president fred may not even get the chance to nominate any judges and even if he does, they may end up like Anthony Kennedy.

Actually, he has.

The Reagan GOP pro-life platform has since 1984 recognized the personhood of the unborn, and their resultant protection by the provisions of the Fourteenth Amendment.

Thompson, and most of this pathetic field, claim that the states have the right to decide the abortion question.

These two things are mutually exclusive. You can't claim one and believe the other. It's impossible.
