And when are you going to get it through YOUR thick skull that he believes abortion is a state issue, not a federal. He believes in states rights. Good grief you’re clueless.

You're clueless!

"I do not think it is a wise thing to criminalize young girls and perhaps their parents as aiders and abettors or perhaps their family physician. And that's what you're talking about." - Fred Thompson

That's his position. It's the very definition of pro-choice. He won't even support the criminalization of abortion in his own state!

His comments on Sunday went beyond saying that he thought it was a state issue. He also made two comments which suggested that he was or has been ambigious or opposed to state criminalization. In the first, comment - which may have only been explaining what he thought before seeing his daughters ultrasound - he indicated that he didn’t want to pass a law which might sent a girl, her parents, or the family doctor to prison. In his second comment were he was clearly expressing his present views he said that even though he thought an unborn child was a person he was concerned about making criminals out of young women. So, at best Fred’s position on abortion is unclear - he certainly is not the pro-life champion that many are trying to make him out as being.
