I think Fred did great today. He was straight forward and completely non evasive. What a refreshing change! He also knew what the hell he was talking about and that's nice too. I think some people might have a hard time with his federalist views regading abortion but I don't. I say overturn Roe v Wade and then lket's fight it out at the state level...

Go Fred Go!

I do.

If Thompson was a true federalist, he would stand for the right to life as guaranteed by our Constitution, and not pretend the unborn aren't covered by the Fourteenth Amendment.

It is untenable to say we can both overturn Roe and deny the unborn constitutional protection. The only legitimate basis for overturning Roe is to recognize the personhood of the unborn, and deny all mothers the "right" to kill. Otherwise, destroying the valueless fetus is just a private medical decision the woman has the right to make.

As a nation, we either respect the right to life, or we don't.

“I say overturn Roe v Wade and then let’s fight it out at the state level...”

I agree, and Fred is right saying it should be a state issue. I also believe that most every state would vote to end abortions except for saving a mother’s life, rape, or incest. That would drasticly cut the number of abortions from the current level!
