He hasn't said as much but, as has been mentioned, supporting a Right-to-Life amendment would compel the government to punish both the mother and her accomplices.
I actually favor Thompson's position on this over Romney's...but politics is a package deal and IMO Thompson falls short in too many other areas.
My beef is that I keep getting told abortion is murder, equal to and possibly worse than homicide. Yet, that claim is severely discredited and undermined when those same people will not support punishing the perpetrator of the murder. It shows me that they don't really believe in what they're getting all emotionally puffed up about.
I just want consistency...if you're pro-life and that's your single-issue, then if you had to choose between Thompson and Romney, you should be voting for Romney, as Romney supports a Right-to-Life amendment and Thompson doesn't.
A mighty big if.
...then if you had to choose between Thompson and Romney, you should be voting for Romney...
ROFLMAO
Yes, all pro-lifers should line up behind the slippery Massachusetts politician with a staunch 35-year pro-abortion history and a convenient Road to Ames conversion.
Riiiiight.
That is so true. It is mind-boggling to see the mental gymnatistics people are going through in order to deny it.
