PING !Not afraid of the truth. Just tired of the FUD from the rudy bots. The ones who have no standing trying to cry “he’s pro choice” considering their 100% NARAL rated candidate.
The truth:
- Fred Thompson was endorsed by a pro life group when he ran in 1994
- Fred Thompson has a solid pro life voting record in the senate
- Fred Thompson has a zero rating from NARAL
- Fred Thompson has said Roe V wade was bad law.
National Right to Life Committee on Fred Thompson:
“This morning, I cited reports being promoted by the pro-Romney blog Evangelicals for Mitt suggesting that Fred Thompson ran his two campaigns for Senate in Tennessee as a pro-choicer. Not so, National Right to Life executive co-director Darla St. Martin just told me.
St. Martin said that she went down to Tennessee in 1994 to speak with Thompson personally when he first ran for Senate, and that she determined he was against abortion.
‘I interviewed him and on all of the questions I asked him, he opposed abortion,’ St. Martin said. She told me that the group went on to support him in that election, and his record reinforced for her that their determination was correct.
‘He has a consistent voting record that is pro-life,’ she said.
On the NRLC website, they archive their congressional ratings back to 1997, so they include six of his eight years in the Senate. Thompson took the pro-life position on every vote he cast on the abortion issue…”

“NARAL also rated nine other Republicans… Based on their abortion rights stance, the following Republicans received a grade of ‘F’: …Sen. Fred Thompson of Tennessee…”
PING !“WALLACE: Would you like to overturn Roe. ...
THOMPSON: You said lightning round, now. If you want ...”
In other words he was waffling, didn’t say a categorical “YES”.
Wonder how many times ths drivel will be posted ? : )
This is no contest. Thompson is clearly pro life and Rudy was and is the darling of NARAL. I am a New Yorker who will not vote for Rudy.
sorry! i put NO stock in what NRTL says! they have NOT been solidly behind the abortion ban bills in many of the states. so what they have to say means nothing to me. ask them what they have done in SD for the abortion ban bills!! they have done SQUAT here to back or help the pro-life candidates in the last election, as well!
NRTL has someone who has endorsed or is backing Romney. Romney did a flip in his opinion too!! my "trust" thermometer is registering in the "below 0" for NRTL and anyone they claim is pro-life.
