Fred, like McCain, Paul, Romney, Huckabee and Giuliani, thinks that states’ rights trump the unalienable right to life:
Fred Thompson

MR. RUSSERT: This is the 2004 Republican Party platform. [Reads excerpt.] Could you run as a candidate on that platform, promising a human life amendment banning all abortions?

MR. THOMPSON: No.

MR. RUSSERT: You would not?

MR. THOMPSON: No. . . . I think the diversity we have among the states, the system of federalism we have where power is divided between the state and the federal government serves us very well. I think that’s true of abortion.

The Reagan GOP pro-life platform:

“We must keep our pledge to the first guarantee of the Declaration of Independence. That is why we say the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed. We support a human life amendment to the Constitution and we endorse legislation to make it clear that the Fourteenth Amendment’s protections apply to unborn children.”

"Fred, like McCain, Paul, Romney, Huckabee and Giuliani, thinks that states’ rights trump the unalienable right to life:"

Sorry, but in the case of Governor Romney that isn't true. Mitt Romney supports the HLA.

The problem with Roe v. Wade, with way too much of bio”ethics, is the false premise of “personhood.” You can’t legislate what is endowed by our Creator. As our Constitution and laws are based on the Declaration of Independence, there is no place for naming a person a person.
