I realize that a Right to Life Amendment may not be politically possible at this time, but Fred isn't even saying he wants one.
I have asked over and over for someone to explain to me the difference between a politician saying....
"I am personally pro life, but I can not impose my morals on the mother" (like every single pro choice candidate says...
And...
"I am personally pro life, but I can not impose my morals on the State". (Like Fred is saying) in fact his words were "the States have the right to make laws, even if I, Fred Thompson disagree with them.
The only feedback I have gotten is people saying that a RTL Amendment can't get passed. I know that, but I also know that Romney and Huckabee have expressed their wish to get Roe V Wade overturned (like Thompson) and then press on to a Amendment (unlike Thompson). In fact on this issue he has stated he DOES NOT want that extra step.
I want someone to tell me why it is not intellectually dishonest to say that Fred is any different, on this issue, than any other pro choice candidate. Explain to me what the difference between a mother having a choice, and a State? The end result is still a dead baby.
