Fred Thompson's position has always been generally and substantially pro-life. However, when first running for office in '94, he did a say he thought the "ultimate decision rested with the woman." For me, that takes him out of the 100% category.

Again in general, it's probably fair to say that he has a strong federalist view on the legal aspects of the problem. Personally, he has taken a strong pro-life stand based on his convictions since 1996. He has also said Roe vs. Wade is bad law and should be changed.

I think it also fair to say that of the top three contenders right now, Fred Thompson does have the clearest pro-life record. Rudy has the least creditable record on abortion, with Romney far above Rudy, yet still far below Fred. Romney has made long, involved, clearly pro-choice statements recorded in public, as has Rudy, but has more clearly "broken with his past." But to me, both are problematic on this issue. Fred is not.

Maybe Kenny Bunk is confusing Fred Thompson with Tommy Thompson.
