I’m guessing Fred Thompson didn’t phrase this quite like the Atlanta-Journal Constitution reports it (bold, mine):
And at the airport in Kennesaw, one member of the audience asked Thompson whether he regretted lobbying work he did in the 1990s for an abortion rights group.
“That was private life,” Thompson said. But as a senator from Tennessee, Thompson added, he voted “100 percent” with the agenda of anti-abortion forces.
