President 2008
Republicans:
Former Sen. Fred Thompson (R-Tenn.) may have seriously wounded himself with his handling of the abortion issue on Sunday’s “Meet the Press.” Thompson unequivocally stated he opposed a Human Life Amendment to the Constitution, which is a plank in the Republican platform. Without prompting, he then attacked the idea of “criminalizing” abortion and locking up mothers who procure abortions — images that are used as scare tactics by the pro-choice lobby. Throughout the long discussion of the topic, Thompson was incoherent at best and thoroughly objectionable to his party’s pro-life base at worst. He backed away from his firm opposition to the platform, but he never quite set himself right on the whole issue.
You call that coherent?
Who wrote that garbage? Why didn’t you post the source?
I think an intellegent person who reads what he says will see it is. You think we should pass a law making abortion illegal and then not prosecute anyone? No punishment? Or do you think it makes sense to prosecute a 14 year old who has an abortion? That is the choice. You may not like it, or that someone disagrees with you, but the idea is certainly coherent.
