I don't agree at all. I know, personally, several very busy, high-flying business execs who consider themselves staunch conservatives who never even think about the abortion issue because it does not concern them, their family or their friends. It does not enter into their daily lives. It does not cross their desk. While they may be personally pro-life or opposed to abortion, they wouldn't think of infringing on another person's personal business or pre-judging a woman in that situation in a million years. That makes them "effectively" pro-choice.

However, if one of these execs suddenly became a politician and was elected and had bills crossing their desk that had the effect of saving or taking lives --- then their eyes might be pried wide open by the awesome responsibility placed in their hands on an issue they gave very minimal thought up until that moment.

I don't find it hard to understand at all. There is a big difference between career politicians who deal with legislation involving these life and death issues, life-long activists whose lives revolve around this issue and business execs completely removed from the situation who decide to serve their country.

And I wouldn't vote for them either.

Reagan underestimated the malevolence and deceit of the abortion killers and was publicly speaking out against their abuses within a year of signing the bill. He was NEVER "adamantly pro-choice", as Rommey falsely alleged. Thirty plus years later Rommey cannot offer ignorance or naivete as an excuse when he, unlike Reagan, ran for governor of a liberal state three decades into the abortion wars and got elected telling the pro-aborts what they wanted to hear. Reagan never did anything like that.

Rommey is either pathologically myopic, or hypocritical, neither of which bear any resemblance to Ronald Reagan's views and character. The more the two are compared, the greater the contrast.

Cordially,
