Hard to conjure up that image but it's true. Thomspon sends out an e-mail blast taking issue with Romney's statement today on MTP that "every piece of legislation which came to my desk in the coming years as a Governor, I came down on the side of preserving the sanctity of life." The "fact check" includes this:
"Romney's health care legislation provides taxpayer-funded abortions for a co-pay of just $50. Romney vetoed EIGHT provisions in his health care bill that he deemed objectionable, including the expansion of dental benefits to Medicaid recipients. He did not veto Planned Parenthoods' guaranteed position on the Advisory Board or ensure that abortions were covered only in medically necessary situations (as required by MA court ruling). All abortions are covered in the Commonwealth Care program with no medically necessary limitation. Under the program, abortions are available for a copay of $50...
Romney included in his health care legislation a guarantee that Planned Parenthood would have a representative on his MassHealth Payment Policy Advisory Board. No such provision was included for a pro-life representative. ...
Romney forced private Catholic hospitals to provide the morning-after-pill, a position applauded by Democrats and pro-abortions groups. .."

From your lips to God’s ears.
I am only bringing this up, because some Romney Freeper a few weeks ago was blasting Thompson because he believed in state rights for abortion, and not sending abortionist to jail. Well Romney believes the same thing!
Looks like that tiger has a rat in his mouth.
National Right to Life, the nation’s largest pro-life organization, representing pro-lifers in fifty state affiliates and more than 3,000 local chapters is proud to endorse former Senator Fred Thompson for President of the United States. Our endorsement is a testament to Senator Thompson’s long-standing pro-life record, his commitment to protecting unborn children, and our belief in his ability to win.
Fred Thompson has had a strong, consistent pro-life record throughout his political career. Thompson opposes abortion and believes the 1973, abortion-on-demand, Supreme Court decision was wrongly decided and must be reversed. During his eight years in the United States Senate, he always opposed the use of tax dollars to promote or pay for abortion and supported the many pro-life measures, such as parental notice and consent.
Thompson has also stated his opposition to the kind of stem cell research that requires killing human embryos, while supporting the kind of stem cell research that harms no one and is the only kind producing treatments and cures. Since announcing his candidacy in September, Fred Thompson has run second only to pro-abortion candidate Rudy Giuliani for the Republican nomination in the overwhelming majority of national polls. As pro-lifers throughout the nation begin to unite behind his candidacy, he will be well positioned to win the nomination and the presidency. Unlike endorsements by individuals, this endorsement was made by the representatives of state pro-life organizations from across America which are themselves comprised of local community chapters and grassroots activists.
Hum, let me see here, who do I go with on this one:
A.Dr. Wanda Franz PhD, PRESIDENT of National Right to Life, a crusader for the rights of the unborn who has dedicated her career to fighting abortion, along with the leaders and members of her 3000 chapters...
OR
B. Spiff and now it seems Redgirl...
Damn, it's a quandary indeed...

Well, the answer is obvious - B. If you choose A, then you're obviously a Mormon-hating bigot who wants to establish religious tests for public office!
“The only conservatives in the race are Fred Thompson and Duncan Hunter. God help us all if the GOP nominates anyone else.”
I agree! I want a Thompson/Hunter ticket, the winning ticket! :)
Damn, first I have heard of that...
Why should Fred have spent the time to initiate any pro-life legislation when he knew it wasn’t going to be passed? He voted for the ban on Partial Birth Abortion, but that’s about as restrictive as the Senate was going to get. Why waste his, and every other Senator’s time? It may have made pro-lifers feel good, but that’s about how effective it would have been. From what I can tell, Fred’s not a panderer, and we won’t be spending his time on things that won’t have any effect at all, just to make a few more people think better of him.
I agree with you 100 percent.
The disturbing silence to my FACTS:

I read that post. The idea that Fred Thompson has ever been a champion of the unborn is a total lie.
Perhaps you need to review the definition of a lie:

Did you know Kerry was in Vietnam and Giuliani ran NY during the 9/11 attacks?
And Spiff has yet to respond to MY response to his so called “challenge”.

Ack, so sorry. Thank you.
