Nation’s largest pro-life group endorses Fred Thompson.

NRLC must be holding their nose with this endorsement. They went to court to fight the Thompson supported McCain-Feingold campaign finance legislation.

And what about his work to lobby for abortion rights? Does he even regret it?

“No, I don’t" - Fred Thompson October 18, 2007 The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Should this concern pro-lifers? Why yes. Bob Novak on November 8 regarding Thompson's comments on "Meet the Press" said "What Thompson said could be expected from NARAL"

In the first question on abortion posed by Russert Sunday, he asked Thompson whether as a candidate he could run on the 2004 Republican platform that endorsed a "human life" constitutional amendment banning all abortions. "No," Thompson replied, suddenly monosyllabic. "You would not?" "No," said Thompson, adding "that's been my position the entire time I've been in politics"

And that ladies and gentlemen is your NRLC candidate. Enjoy.
