I really liked Fred Thompson on Meet The Press yesterday; that is until he began talking about Abortion and Gay Marriage. In one respect I agree that Banning all abortions would not be advisable. There are cases that I believe that the decision to abort is advisable, especially in the case of the mother's health and life. No law should prohibit the taking of an unborn when the Mother's life is at stake. I am still uncertain about incest and rape however. The issue Fred brought up however made no sense to me. He said that the teenagers would become criminals when they went to have an abortion. But I say that the Doctor's would be the criminals not the teenager. Secondly, Senator Thompson I have an issue with your stance on Gay Marriage. Basically you are legalizing sodomy and you will increase the divorce lawyers pocketbooks. The fact are as follows:
The failure, decline and ruination of every empire, counrty and civilization can be traced to debachery and immorality of it's people starting with the goverment's condoning such activity. Go and read up on your history, starting with Babylon who fell while the leaders were having a drunken orgy.
I understand exactly what your points were: that the federal government should not be involved in sanctioning private matters and that the states should have the right to decide on who can marry and who can have abortions and for what reason. Thus less Federal government. But for you, Senator Thompson to advocate gay marriage and abortion on demand goes against my beliefs.
here is something that you need to understand. I VOTE ON MY PRINCIPALS. I PUT MY SUPPORT ON THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN THE SAME MORALS THAT I HAVE, AND NOT ON ECONOMICS NOR POLITICAL IDEOLOGIES!

I really like you Fred but now I am having some doubts.
