James Bopp Jr. is a key advisor to Mitt Romney on family and life issues. We talked to him about his decision to support Romney and the open fight that broke out among religious conservatives. Bopp is a named partner in the law firm of Bopp, Coleson & Bostrom, Bopp's practice focuses on non-profit corporate and tax law, on campaign finance and election law, on life issues including abortion, and on U.S. Supreme Court practice. He has argued numerous campaign finance cases in defense of pro-life, pro-family, conservative and Republican party groups, including four cases in the U.S. Supreme Court. He also serves as General Counsel for the James Madison Center for Free Speech and is a member of the Republican National Committee.
How did he come to support Romney?
Bopp says: “I didn’t know him personally but obviously I watched his career and was particularly interested because of his strong support for marriage which was seriously under assault in Massachusetts.” Bopp says he had been impressed with his record of “tremendous leadership skills” in running the Olympics and as a businessman and executive but had to assure himself that Romney’s conversion to the pro-life cause was “sincere.” He met with Romney and came away satisfied by Romney’s words but also by his actual record as Gov. Bopp says: “Unfortunately there are some people in the pro-life movement who are not willing to accept converts. Our whole thrust is to gain converts. If you are not willing to accept them we are doomed to defeat.”

Bopp says that it is “extremely important,” emphasizing that Romney is the only top tier candidate who supports a constitutional amendment explicitly requiring that all marriage be between a man and a woman. He explains: “If we don’t settle the issue and don’t protect marriage consistently as between a man and a woman, the opposite [legalized gay marriage] will be the result.” He is blunt about Fred Thompson’s objection that such an amendment would contravene principles of federalism by supplanting the states’ role in family and marriage. He says: “It is a cop out to say we’re not for a national definition. It is the states -- ¾ must agree -- which ratify a constitutional amendment so it is a decision by the states.” He continues: “We have a choice on a very fundamental question. Free speech, freedom of religion -- we don’t leave to the states. Marriage is so fundamental that it is properly one [issue] to reside in the Constitution.”

There, fixed it.
“Unfortunately there are some people in the pro-life movement who are not willing to accept converts.”
Oh baloney.
We’re overjoyed with converts.
Frauds and con-artists, however...
Beat you by a second. ;-D
You’re quick. LOL.
Jim Bopp is a sell-out. One wonders to what extent his influence has been behind many of the damaging compromises made by National Right to Life in recent years.
With “pro-lifers” like this, who needs “pro-aborts”?
Well, we both had the finely-honed skills to spot the proverbial money shot in the piece... and quickly debunk it. ;-)
Don’t worry, the Mittwitts will be in shortly to cry like stuck pigs.
Nobody on our side is going to cry like stuck pigs. It’s more fun watching you guys squirm over the ever-growing number of endorsements that Mitt continues to rack up from prominent conservatives.
I actually find it quite amusing that the anti-Romneyites continue to post on pro-Romney threads before, and more rabidly than the Romney supporters. It’s speak volumes of your fear of the man.
I think they have second screen names on the Mitt list. They arrive within minutes of posting a thread (and never read the thread).
We fear destructive RINOs like Precious Willard who leave state parties in ruins and hand over everything to the rodents. Besides crap like this article, posting dubious and phony polls to support your dubious and phony candidate, along with accusing Fred of being pro-abortion, amongst other things, are the depths to which you Mittwitts have sunk.
GO MITT!!!
Oooga booga.
“...along with accusing Fred of being pro-abortion,...”
Heck, that’s nothin’. The head liar himself, Willard, said a few weeks back that RONALD REAGAN was an adamant pro-abort (ahem, “pro-choice” - the fraud even still TALKS like a pro-abort).
That he’s consistently lied about Ronald Reagan’s record on abortion is pretty much the nail in the coffin that persuaded me that the man is a fraud.

Your kind has already admitted the existence of an anti-Mitt rapid response team.
Don’t waste your breath.
Hey, I’ve known Precious Willard for 13 years, going back to his first Senate run. He thinks he can get away with shining on the GOP primary voters just like he did with MA voters in running against the fat pig from High Anus Port. He proclaimed himself a disciple of Slick Willie Weld, the ultimate trojan horse for the Democrats, who got the ball rolling on destroying the MA GOP in the ‘90s, and Romney finished the job with his departure from office back in January. Precious helped make the wildest dream of the MA Democrats come to pass last November — for the first time since 1854, not a single Republican won or held either statewide or federal elective office, none. That’s what Precious wants to bring to DC, and it is why he is so dangerous. Not even Hillary could accomplish such a feat.
You mean, “Conservatives” ?
Oooga booga. We’re gonna git ya. Precious is going down. ;-)
And your kind is proof of the existence of a pro-Mitt vapid response team.
