Fred Fumbles

"I do not think it is a wise thing to criminalize young girls and perhaps their parents as aiders and abettors." He then went further: "You can't have a [federal] law" that "would take young, young girls . . . and say, basically, we're going to put them in jail." -- Fred Thompson, NBC's Meet the Press, Sunday 11/4/2007

Letting liberals frame the issues is the surest sign of a weak candidate. This issue is too important to let outlying/spurious/inflammatory arguments see the light of day. This issue of Roe v. Wade is about many important things, especially about States rights, and the over-reach of the judiciary, and how laws are made in this country. To even suggest that it is about "putting little girls in jail" is an argument only an irrational leftist would would be expected to advance. Fred, I have to deduct a point. Thanks for playing, and do try to keep up.
