Thompson seems to view social conservativism as rather unimportant and has a very lackluster history on the abortion issue.

I don't agree. He has voted pro-life 100% of the time.

Anyone who was moderately pro-life would have voted the way Fred did on restrictions on Government Funding, the Partial Birth Abortion Ban and other such restrictions. He didn’t face any votes which were more controversial and he did nothing to correct the media reports at the time which actually indicated that he was basically pro-choice. So, I think the best view of the evidence is that he is strongly federalist and marginally pro-life. If he started to campaign heavily on this issue he might be able to change my mind but so far I have seen no evidence that he cares about this issue all that much.
