Fred Thompson addressed the National Right to Life Conference tonight via video sent to the Christian Broadcasting Network. It is dated today 6/14/07 and shows his wife and small children.
There has been criticism by those trying to discredit Fred on his stance on abortion. As a very vocal pro-life supporter, I looked into this as well, and frankly it is a litmus test for me with a candidate.
I always understood his federalist position on abortion, and agreed with giving it back to the states (since I believe it would be overturned in most cases). I also looked at his ACTIONS as voting 100% pro-life and if Right to Life feels comfortable endorsing him, that is good enough for me.
I was also happy to hear his support of ADULT but not EMBRYONIC stem cell research.
I like him more and more every time I see him.

Fred excels in these video situations. He could easily be the first Presidential candidate to use YouTube as a key part of his run.
On the pro-life issue I'm glad to see him note the distinction between the non-controversial adult stem cells and the unethical use of embryonic stem cells. Pro-lifers are not doing a good job making this distinction. Too many believe we're against all stem cell research, rather than just the unethical kind.
