“What I really do not understand is that the Huckabee supporters keep saying he is pro-life, he is pro-life, he is prolife. Well Fred is also pro-life and was endorsed by the National Right To Life Associaton over all the other Republican candidates. Guess Huckabee supporters don’t really care about immigration, higher taxes, bringing the terrorists to US jails, nanny state dictates, and on and on. Seems to me on just the pro-life issue, the Huckabee supporters are going for the wrong guy.”
I agree, it defies logic.
All of our so-called "pro-life" politicians have done absolutely nothing to stop the vast majority of abortions in the past 35 years. I hate the issue. I hate abortion. If our "conservative" leaders take the gloves off and abolish it, then we can never have to deal with it in an election again. I don't think abortion is ever an option. Fred does:
Statement from Fred Thompson

MCLEAN, Virginia, Nov. 29 /Standard Newswire/ -- Senator Fred Thompson released the following statement tonight regarding abortion:
"In tonight's debate we saw once again that on abortion, Rudy Giuliani is pro-choice and Mitt Romney is multiple choice. I believe abortion should only be allowed in the instances of rape, incest and the life of the mother and penalties should be assessed against the abortion doctor and not the woman."
Now contrast that with Huckabee (who is not abolitionist enough):
What I accomplished as Governor proves that there is a lot more that a pro-life President can do than wait for a Supreme Court vacancy, and I will do everything I can to promote a pro-life agenda and pass pro-life legislation. If I'm saddled with a Democrat Congress, I'll veto any pro-abortion legislation they pass. I will staff all relevant positions with pro-life appointees. I will use the Bully Pulpit to change hearts and minds, to move this country from a culture of death to a culture of life. I have no desire to throw women in jail, I just want us to stop throwing babies in the garbage.
