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".

“And here’s a bit more on those two ‘great nations’ of Jewish descendants in the Americas:”
They weren’t Jewish, the descended from Joseph, not Judah.
It also seem rather desperate of you to abandon actually discussion in favor of just bombing the thread with cut and paste jobs from every critical website you can find.
She’s done that to me several times to, then pretends she doesn’t know what I’m talking about. I wish she had the courage and decency to address us to our faces.
Who dwells (resides) in the Telestial Kingdom?
SHHHhhhhhh...she might hear you! Then she would aim her mighty “P” weapon at your shoe!
Merely exposing the things the DNC goon squad will mine for golden nuggets to decimate Mitt Romney by disgusting conservative Christians regarding Mormonism’s manifold heresies. And there’s so much more to come!
I didn’t waste more time on it after that. It is enough to show they are untrustworthy.
ROTFLMHO

I hope you are correct in thinking someone will really go and look at “the other side”

Actually, I’d be surprised if they did anything that indicated a desire to actually understand our POV, but I’ll still give them the means to do so. If they choose not to, the accountability is on them.
That's kind of what we get accused of, looking at one item and judging all the rest by that. Sorry to see you discount the source entirely based on that one item. I was hoping for a different reply.
“We need some real conservatives”
Currently not amongst those who might be electable IMO
Reminds me of the fool who was led to a dung pile and asked what he saw before him. Sticking out of the steaming pile was a plastic spoon still wrapped in the manufacturer’s protective cellophane. The fool saw nothing else nor smelled a thing, he was only able to focus upon the fork in the pile of dung. The steaming pile of dung is Mormonism and the lies and fabrications and fasle prophesies at its heart. The plastic fork is the miniscule piece of half-truth Satan has deposited with the gullible. But the stench of the pile is overwhelming to those with noses.
;) Not funny when it’s on your shoe!

....isn’t that called assigning motive!
Tell me about it....
A claim was made based on the quote in that document, I checked it, it was a falsehood. Given the nature of it I don’t see how it could be the result of anything other than dishonesty or gross incompetence. I don’t have time to evaluate and respond to everything.
