That press release you quoted strikes me as pretty significant, Kathryn. As far as I know, it’s the first time Thompson has said that abortion should be illegal (with exceptions for rape, incest, and the life of the mother). He also suggests that the “abortion doctors” should be penalized in some way, in contrast to his past remarks that “physicians” should not be “criminalized.” I’m pleased that he has shifted toward my position. But it does take the sting out of his attack, earlier the same night, on that flip-flopper Mitt Romney.
