Reagan realized that abortion was disgusting and barbaric.
I think Romney can do the same.
I understand that you hope that Romney would change, it is not going to happen. Romney’s core is liberalism, his religion supports his beliefs, his entire life supports liberalism, there is zero reason for him to change into what you are projecting on him.
Conservatism is at the core of conservatives, that is not nor has it ever been Romney’s core.
Reagan didn’t need to realize that, he was never pro-abortion.
Romney is the most passionate salesman of abortion that we have ever seen from the republican party, watch the videos, he is convincing as he speaks of the family friend and how he and his family became pro-abortion in 1963 because not having legal abortion killed their young loved one.
Romney campaigned with that story, he campaigned on claiming that his mother was a hero for having the courage to run on an abortion platform in 1970, Romney was radically pro-abortion, AFTER the abortion wars started, AFTER the lines were clear, AFTER it became the political issue of our time,
AFTER he left the party because of Reagan and social conservatism, he was fund raising for abortion AFTER reregistering republican, he was creating $50 tax payer funded abortion AFTER becoming a republican governor in 2002, Romney was still defending abortion AFTER he claims to have switched in 2005.
You have to try to grasp that it matters when these things took place, comparing a political slip of the 1960s when abortion discussions were in their infancy, with being a post Roe v Wade pro-abortion WARRIOR of today, of the decades following 1973, when abortion is the dividing line between right and left, is ridiculous.
Romney can’t change his personal beliefs, because he DIDN’T, there was never a journey, decades of growing, a gradual enlightenment that comes from growth, for 60 years he was one guy, and then POOF!! He was a totally different guy!! the only change you hear is the campaign rhetoric of his Presidential run, that’s it!
There was never a change inside of Mitt Romney, in 2005, after getting permission to run for president from his Prophet, he rewrote his position papers merely to run for office, it was a mere campaign gimmick, not actual growth, or a fundamental change.
And it sure wasn’t only about abortion, he reversed his positions on EVERYTHING, guns, gays, judges, immigration, the Vietnam War, Reagan, abortion, Romneycare, taxes, conservatism, and much more, everything, even his personal details and past.
Do you really think that a 60 year old man who was weaned on liberal politics from birth, who was raised by a Governor presidential candidate dad, and a Senate candidate mom, suddenly had a total political epiphany on all political issues and questions and suddenly changed all of his politics and suddenly was in contradiction with ALL of his past decisions, positions and beliefs and passions?
