That’s a lie.
He says he will support the platform. He thinks that overturning Roe V Wade is the best way to go, rather than
trying for an unpassable amendment.
Millions of us agree.

Sadly, it isn’t a lie. Hear for yourself from Fred’s own mouth: http://hotair.com/archives/2007/11/04/video-fred-thompson-on-mtp-says-he-doesnt-support-the-human-life-amendment/?print=1
Of course no amendment will pass unless we try. Therefore, the good pro-lifers in Colorado are trying, despite the millions of naysayers you purportedly represent :-)
The platform doesn't just call for a Human Life Amendment. It also recognizes the personhood of the unborn, and their protection by the Fourteenth Amendment. It has since 1984.
This is 100% incompatible with the claim that states can possibly decide the abortion question.
In other words, you can't support the platform while calling for states' rights to trump unalienable rights. The two things are mutually exclusive.
Which means that Thompson, McCain, Romney, Giuliani, Huckabee and Paul do not support the Reagan pro-life platform.
And that leaves Hunter, Tancredo and Keyes who do.
