Mitt Romney's Conversion
His pro-life turn is more recent than you think.
by Jennifer Rubin
02/05/2007, Volume 012, Issue 20

Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney is under fire as he pursues the 2008 Republican presidential nomination. A recent Internet video highlighted comments made during a 1994 debate against Sen. Edward Kennedy in which Romney declared that he supported a "woman's right to choose." Romney quickly distanced himself from those comments, winning praise from conservative pundits. But a look at Romney's second campaign, the 2002 race for Massachusetts governor, reveals that his pro-choice stance and support for embryonic stem cell research were clear and ardent less than five years ago.

In the spring of 2002 Romney completed a Planned Parenthood questionnaire. Signed by Romney and dated April 9, 2002, it contained these responses:

Do you support the substance of the Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade? YES

Do you support state funding of abortion services through Medicaid for low-income women? YES

In 1998 the FDA approved the first packaging of emergency contraception, also known as the "morning after pill." Emergency contraception is a high dose combination of oral contraceptives that if taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex, can safely prevent a pregnancy from occurring. Do you support efforts to increase access to emergency contraception? YES

Romney also completed the questionnaire of the National Abortion Rights Action League, or NARAL (now called NARAL Pro-Choice America), with this statement:

I respect and will protect a woman's right to choose. This choice is a deeply personal one. Women should be free to choose based on their own beliefs, not mine and not the government's

Haha.
I seriously doubt they'll care, though.
It's what he says now that matters, not what he said yesterday.
Prolife fundies will take a woman who had an abortion last week, put her on a pedestal, and make a Goddess out of her... so long as she says she regrets it and now opposes other women's right to reproductive choice.
For conservatives, it's all about talk, never about actions.
They seem not to care about or even recognize even major discrepancies between a person's words and their actions, or between the words a person said yesterday and the ones they're saying today.

I prefer to use the word PANDERING.

It's so interesting to see Republicans attacking themselves this campaign cycle.

Ok come let's fact it there are flip flopper's on BOTH sides and in the middle to. The whole lot of them are nothing but a$$ kissing morons that will say anything to get elected. I can debate my conservative morals and values forever but I can only defend a politician so much.
