I have yet to see the evidence that he has always been strongly anti-illegal-immigration (in fact, on one of those threads, it was pointed out that he "saw the light" at 9/11..so which is it?), and I have yet to see the evidence that contradicts his answers on "Project Vote Smart" and the interview and debate* and survey** where he pushed for "womens' choice." Please, show me where these points are refuted. I am honestly hoping they have been, yet my support for Sen. Thompson isn't hinging on whether he's always been pro-life or has come to this position.

He has just said he doesn't remember them, and since they were from about the same timeframe, it seems reasonable that he held those positions and wasn't just giving them in error...that is, that he was against the Freedom of Choice Act, etc., but was uncomfortable on banning all abortions. Yet since then, he has become 100% pro-life. I also think that the historical record emphasizes even more that he pushed for federalism even back then.

And he has even said this issue has meant more to him since seeing the sonogram of his daughter.

So what's the crime in being glad that he's gotten more conservative on these issues?!?
