Um...perhaps I’m wrong, but Fred Thompson wasn’t President when this happened. So what’s with all the 43,000 posts about this? This thread is about his daughter, not Terri Schaivo.
History repeats itself. By his comments, it appears a president Thompson sides with the right to die movement and since he’s not going to address this again, his mindset is not likely to change. The right to die lobby receives boatloads of money just like Planned Parenthood does. Both organizations are direct opposites of the pro-life movement. Thompson lawyered for Planned Parenthood and now he comes out for euthanasia. He’s not pro-life. He’s faux life.
The mainstream press was pushing Fred on his opinion on Terri. It just carries over on this thread. Thompson wimped out, sort of like the Bush brothers. In contrast to that, we had Duncan Hunter make a strong statement defending Congress's actions. He went out of way to do it.
