Likely Republican White House hopeful Fred Thompson told CNN Friday that he would work to overturn Roe v. Wade if elected president, and would push for a constitutional amendment that protects states from being forced to honor gay marriages performed in other states.

“I don’t think that one state ought to be able to pass a law requiring gay marriage or allowing gay marriage and have another state be required to follow along,” Thompson told CNN’s John King in an interview Friday.

Thompson added that the U.S. Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion “was bad law and bad medicine.”

As for when he will jump into the race, the former Tennessee senator said "shortly."

and post them on the Internets.

2. How hard would he work?

Up to about lunchtime?

Snark aside, the man is vile and getting into the game this late with the dismal amount of cash he has raised so far - well, all I can say is, "good luck with that - "

5. CNN headlines say he will BAN abortions

7. He is covering for his a__ after lobbying for pro-choice. I was hoping he had

decided not to run. He is just another freak. I cannot understand why people think he is attractive; he has no appeal for me and I'm older than he is. I doubt seriously he would have sex appeal for the younger set.
