Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who is running for the Republican presidential nomination, on Tuesday in an interview with Nevada television station KLAS said that if elected president he would allow individual states to keep abortion legal, the Washington Post reports.
Romney earlier this month in an interview with ABC News' George Stephanopoulos said he supports a constitutional amendment that would ban abortion nationwide. According to the Post, the "two very different statements" reflect a "challenge" for Romney as he attempts to be a "champion of the antiabortion movement".
In an interview with the Associated Press Tuesday, Romney said that giving states control to "fashion their own laws with regard to abortion" should be the "next step" in the abortion debate. Top Romney advisers on Tuesday said the governor supports a two-tiered process in which states first would obtain authority to regulate abortion after Roe v. Wade -- the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court case that effectively barred state abortion bans -- is overturned. The second step would be a constitutional amendment that bans most abortions nationwide.
James Bopp -- an attorney who has represented antiabortion groups and a top Romney adviser on abortion -- said, "There's no flip-flopping. There's no contradiction. There's simply step one and step two." Jon Ralston, a columnist for the Las Vegas Sun who interviewed Romney for KLAS, said he believes Romney's "moral positions conflict" with his "states'-rights opinions," adding, "I don't see how you can be antiabortion, be in favor of a constitutional amendment and be in favor of states' rights".

Please explain how Jesus was condemning the Jewish religion and not the Pharisees themselves. This ought to be good.

Well, that sums it up. You and Jesus are on the same level and you are the two judges. 391 posted on 08/28/2007 7:24:22 AM CDT by go-dubya-04

Do you feel that a person's 'faith' will direct the way they live their life?

Please restate it, I cannot find it among the attempts to get me off course. And yes, people find me hard to get along with when I want an answer and do not get it. If you do not want to answer, say so and I will respect your answer, but try to “baffle me with bull” and I become a broken record going back to the original question over and over and over.
Really? Was it a honest to goodness prophecy from the Prophet and quorum of the twelve, cuz honestly, I must have missed it.
17 It no sooner appeared than I found myself adelivered from the enemy which held me bound. When the light rested upon me I bsaw two cPersonages, whose brightness and dglory defy all description, estanding above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other—This is My fBeloved gSon. Hear Him!18 My object in going to ainquire of the Lord was to know which of all the sects was right, that I might know which to join. No sooner, therefore, did I get possession of myself, so as to be able to speak, than I asked the Personages who stood above me in the light, which of all the sects was right (for at this time it had never entered into my heart that all were wrong)—and which I should join.19 I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all awrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those bprofessors were all ccorrupt; that: “they ddraw near to me with their lips, but their ehearts are far from me, they teach for doctrines the fcommandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the gpower thereof.”20 He again forbade me to join with any of them; and many other things did he say unto me, which I cannot write at this time. When I came to myself again, I found myself alying on my back, looking up into heaven. When the light had departed, I had no strength; but soon recovering in some degree, I went home. And as I leaned up to the fireplace, bmother inquired what the matter was. I replied, “Never mind, all is well—I am well enough off.” I then said to my mother, “I have learned for myself that Presbyterianism is not true.”
Talk about CRITICS!!
As Marvin Olasky once said at a local Crisis Pregnancy Center fundraiser, we are presently living in Babylon and we must start where we can actually something. Giving the issue back to the states is a great start.
If you are curious as to the movement of God to the lower kingdoms,I suggest you do your own research.

Is this your way of saying you do not want to answer my question?
Read my lips. I do not want to continue this discussion.
Three is good reason to suggest that BY used the phrase ‘Father Adam’ to refer to Heavenly Father (not the Adam that fell), just as ‘Father Smith’ would have referred to Joseph Smith Sr (not Joseph Smith Jr.) It was not meant to imply Heavenly Father and the Adam that fell were the same being, but it was easy for people to misunderstand him in that way, especialy today when we don’t use ‘Father so-and-so’ to refer to the patriarch of a family.
There is a lot BY said of Adam, Heavenly Father and Christ. Also, the remark should be viewed in the full context of what BY taught. The view above is very consistent with all his other statements about them, but claiming he was teaching that the Adam that fell was also the same being as Heavenly Father conflicts with nearly everything else he said about them. There is also good reason to believe the record in the JoD for that speech is not accurate.

All I am going on is what I see here as misdirections. If I am wrong, correct me.
“Has your Finnish source been denied as valid yet?”
If it’s that Finnish couple of ex-members, where the woman did translations for the Church, I already pointed out one quote they cited where the text of the quote had been altered to change the meaning.
I merely wanted to know if this was a portion of Scripture the JS had 'clarified'.
