Senator Fred Thompson spoke with Tim Russert of Meet The Press this past Sunday. In the video clip above, Thompson explained his position on the “complex” issue of abortion:
1. He believes Roe v. Wade was wrongly decided.
2. He thinks states (rather than the Supreme Court) should decide the matter.
3. He would discourage states from making laws forbidding abortion.
4. He believes that life begins at conception, and is proud of his 100% pro-life voting record.
Am I the only one who smells political double-talk here? Thompson should be firmly rejected by the GOP. Among other considerations, he would not stand a chance against Senator Clinton.
