This is a tough call. A lot of people have had sincere changes of heart over the years, which is why support for abortion is no longer a political asset.

[Huck]

Romney has said he once supported abortion rights because a relative died in a botched abortion. The view changed more than two years ago after he took a hard look at the destruction of embryos used for stem cell research -- something that "cheapened the value of human life," he has said.

Which I'm assuming is a load of horsecrap, but that only makes him like every other politician whose lips are moving.

As to this point, another politico he can be compared to is Al Gore. Like Gore, Romney has flip-flopped on abortion, only in the other direction. While he now claims to be pro-life, he supported legalization of the “morning-after” abortion pill, RU-486. Moreover, as recently as his 2002 run for governor his platform stated,

“The choice to have an abortion is a deeply personal one. Women should be free to choose based on their own beliefs, not the government’s.”

Of course, Romney says that his views have “evolved.” But I strongly suspect his adaptation relates more to the evolution of political ambitions than that of conscience. Call me cynical, but unless you’ve been cloistered in an ancient monastery for the duration, I’m very suspicious of deep personal growth occurring between ages 55 and 59.

You just can't get enough Rino's, can you? First Rudy and now Romney.
