For the record: I have serious doubts about Mr. Thompson’s core beliefs on abortion myself. I agree with you concerning the rank hypocrisy of the Giuliani supporters in this regard, but that doesn’t change the way I see it.

You've shown that pro-life is a core aspect of how you judge politics. Any concerns you may in turn express about Fred's pro-life bona fides therefore stems from wanting to get to the truth, instead of trying to just engage in crass political duplicity typical of Clintonista tactics.

Is there a reason that you may think he could be pro-abortion?
