Atlanta Journal Constitution:
..................................
In other presidential news, the political action committee of the National Right to Life Committee has endorsed Republican Fred Thompson for president — dismissing his opposition to a constitutional ban on abortion, and his fuzzy comments on the Terry Schiavo case. Keep in mind there’s a split between the national organization and its Georgia chapter. You can read the entire NRLC endorsement here, but below are two interesting sections:
“While Fred supports the long-term objective of the Human Life Amendment, the votes are simply not there in Congress, nor were they there when we controlled both houses of Congress. For instance, in the Senate, we are presently at least 25 votes short, with psssage in the House even more difficult.
“Fred intends to focus his presidency on those things that can be achieved, or advanced, in the next four to eight years.”............................................................
