But if you gave them a quiz on the difference between the Supreme Court's overturning Roe v. Wade and a RLA, I don't think the simple majority of them could quantify them to any real degree.

I can assure you that we in the Homeschool associations can quantify qualify the difference in merely overturning Roe and the RLA. None are against overturning Roe, but it is obvious that we need a RLA defining "personhood".

And on that note, Thompson was never against abortion because the unborn baby is a person. Otherwise he would have believed in protecting the unfortunate children of rapes, incest and the Space Shuttle size loophole of the "life of the mother".

Yeah. Merely overturning Roe. And I would agree that the homeschool crowd would be the most likely to distinguish between the two. But y'all are not the norm. You know that.

[The abortion debate is] going to be ultimately won in the hearts and minds of people. I'm probably a pretty good example of that. Although my head and my legislative record's always been the same, when I saw that sonogram of my little now 4-year-old, it's changed my heart. It's changed the way I look at things. And I think life begins at conception. It was abstract to me before. I was a father earlier when I was very young. I was busy. One of the few advantages you have by getting a little bit older.

He says life begins at conception. Do you have a contradictory quote?

So now you want to speak for all homeschool associations, too?

Wow, you're versatile.
