jmc813: Yes, he has done no abortions but neither have many fully pro-abort OB-GYNs. The paleophony Dr. Demento (whatever his personal views) insists that the fedgov has no jurisdiction over abortion more than three decades after SCOTUS crammed it down our throats. That makes paleoPaulie, pro-life holy pictures or not, the last refuge of Planned Barrenhood and NARAL. Who gives a rat’s patoot as to the paleopipsqueak’s personal opinions when he refuses to DO anything adequate to stop the American Holocaust. Passing the buck to the states on abortion (Spitzer, Schwarzenneger, Blagojevich, Napolitano, Sebelius, etc) is no final solution to the abortionist problem any more than cowering in the paleoPaulie hidey hole praying that the baaad people go awaaaay a la Neville Chamberlain is a solution to the Islamofascist problem.

And on the issue of abortion, obviously you're right.

Though he may well be personally pro life, there's no indication he favors an amendment to the Constitution, a Republican Platform bedrock for nearly 30 years, nor any legislation on a federal level.

Crimes against the unborn are crimes against the mother, not the unborn. This is a no brainer, irrespective of ones opinion of when life begins. Per Ron Paul Scott Peterson should not be on death row.

The decision belongs with the states, a reasonable position for now, but certainly not one that supports a 100% pro live characterization. I believe both Lawrence Tribe and Alan Dershowitz believe Roe is bad law, and that the decision devolves to the states. I suspect they'd advocate different local solutions. And wouldn't be opposed to federal legislation. You'll recall ole George "pro-life" Ryan, I'm pro life, but the law is the law from the other side of the mouth.

Taking a minor across state lines without parental position to purchase an abortion. Well, what pro-lifer opposes that clearly immoral posture. Immoral, like the Mann act prohibition against transporting minors for immoral purposes. To the Supreme Court or 5 times, maybe abortion isn't immora.

OB-GYNs. The paleophony Dr. Demento (whatever his personal views) insists that the fedgov has no jurisdiction over abortion more than three decades after SCOTUS crammed it down our throats.

Neither does Thompson, and he's still more than enough pro-life for me. Shut up.
