What Fred Thompson Needs to Know About the Human Life Amendment
Fred Thompson tripped over the abortion issue in his debut as a presidential candidate on “Meet the Press.”
Host Tim Russert read Thompson the Pro Life Plank from the 2004 Republican Party Platform, which has remained unchanged since the days of Ronald Reagan:
We say the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed. We support a human life amendment to the Constitution. We endorse legislation to make it clear that the Fourteenth amendment’s protections apply to unborn children. Our purpose is to have legislative and judicial protection of that right against those who perform abortions.
Russert then asked Thompson,

The Dirty Little Secret about Europe’s Teen Pregnancy Rates
Have you ever wondered why some of the most permissive countries in Europe like Holland, Denmark and France have such low teen pregnancy and abortion rates?In April, I wrote a column that provoked this e-mail:

Furthermore, he referred to the subject targeted for destruction as an “infant,” not a “fetus.” Read the rest of this entry »
Planned Parenthood Keeping Women in the Dark
Planned Parenthood is the most dangerous organization in America today!
In 1984, I was taken aback by those words. They were uttered by Dr. Bernard Nathanson as I was interviewing him for a documentary on abortion called “A Matter of Choice.” Nathanson once ran the largest abortion facility in the state of New York. After the development of realtime ultrasound imaging, which opened a window to the womb, he became an ardent defender of the preborn.
When Dr. Nathanson, first made that statement, I thought he was some kind of nut! What possibly could be wrong with helping married women plan their families? Read the rest of this entry »
