“Fred “leave it to the states” Thompson...”

Uh, it’s called Federalism. Roe v Wade took away the rights of the states to decide.

Meanwhile, at this time a constitutional amendment is unattainable. But if it goes back to the states, local politics can hone in on changes for the good of the unborn.

Fred wants to nominate judges who will overturn Roe v Wade.

That his the BIGGEST of his conservative bona fides. REAL conservatives believe in federalism, just like the founders did.
