Gosh, Dr. Dobson, et.al, I guess someone sees that Fred does respect the sanctity of life, and we DON'T need a constitutional amendment to protect it, especially since such an amendment would never get ratified.INDIANOLA, Iowa (AP) - Fred Thompson will be endorsed for president by the National Right to Life Committee, Republicans say.
The endorsement by the prominent anti-abortion group could give a boost to the campaign of the Republican former Tennessee senator, who has seen his poll numbers drop in recent weeks and has failed to become the consensus candidate for conservatives.
The decision was disclosed Monday by two Republicans who spoke on condition of anonymity in advance of the announcement that was expected Tuesday.
Thompson boasts a 100 percent voting record in opposing abortion but has faced criticism from some conservatives for what they consider conflicting statements in the past.
Look, Fred has said he is going to appoint constructionist judges. Most with a constructionist bent think Roe v. Wade is bad case law and unconstitutional. Therefore, abortion on demand will be overturned.
If we try the amendment approach, about 30 states are being seen as being in favor, but that is not enough for the requirements for amendment, so supporting something doomed to failure seems like a waste of time to me....I think it is better to fight with tactics that might work rather than to try something WE KNOW will fail.
