MEDIA ADVISORY, Jan. 22 /Christian Newswire/ -- American RTL Action president Steve Curtis is challenging the wisdom and pro-life leadership of Ann Coulter for her endorsement of pro-abortion Mitt Romney for president. The group's ARTLaction.com site documents Romney's recent promotion of child killing with links to official government websites, Romney's own campaign, mainstream sources, and audio and video clips of the candidate himself:
Mitt Romney claims, "On every piece of legislation, I came down on the side of life." "That is a lie," said Curtis, former chairman of the Colorado Republican Party. In April 2006 Romney signed the Massachusetts Health Care Reform Plan that pays for even elective abortions. Today he falsely claims a 1981 court ruling about "medically necessary" abortions forced him to provide tax-funded elective abortion, showing he prioritizes socialized "health care" over protecting kids, even when that "health care" actually intentionally kills children. Romney gave a permanent seat on the Massachusetts payment policy advisory board to the nation's leading abortionists at Planned Parenthood. Romney signed the 2005 bill that promotes chemical abortions with Plan B. As Governor he appointed openly pro-abortion Democrat Matt Nestor to a district court; and disputing a ruling from his own state health department Romney personally argued that pro-life hospitals must dispense abortifacients. Romney claims to have been personally pro-life for many years, but also claims a recent pro-life conversion on Nov. 9, 2004 while talking to Harvard researcher Douglas Melton about embryonic stem cells. However Mitt still openly supports killing the baby of a rapist, and killing the tiniest of humans for research. Dr. Melton has even disputed Romney's account of their conversation, and "pro-life" Romney even attended a fundraiser for Planned Parenthood. During the years that Romney says he was personally pro-life he aggressively claimed to be second-to-none in asserting abortion as an essential right. And in October 2005 Romney asked the federal government for a waiver for a major increase in funding for abortion "counseling" and for tax-funded abortifacients.
Coulter repeatedly suggests in a Jan. 16, 2008 column that pro-lifers should let liberals help them pick their nominee. "The candidate Republicans should be clamoring for is the one liberals are feverishly denouncing... Mitt Romney." Coulter mocked primary voters who "do absolutely zero research on the candidates" and then she concluded without presenting any legislative research but instead mouthing Mitt's own sound bite, that "Romney governed as a pro-lifer."
"She is good at debunking claims," said Curtis, "so she should go to our website and try to disprove our damning evidence that Romney is aggressively pro-abortion. Romney has deceived Ann Coulter and maintained his godless pro-abortion position."
"The evidence is indisputable-- Mitt Romney is lying to get Christian votes," said vice president of ARTL Action, Columbine dad Brian Rohrbough. "When 'pro-life' leaders lie, more innocent children will die, so Ann has either been tricked, or is helping him trick others. American RTL is calling Coulter to account." In the early primary contests the new 527 group American RTL Action ran anti-Mitt TV ads only in Iowa and South Carolina, the two states where Romney was trounced because his pro-abortion actions were exposed.
“The evidence is indisputable: Mitt Romney is lying to get Christian votes”
I agree
I have no one for whom I care to vote. *sigh* oh well...
So many RINOs, so few choices.
just can’t wait to hear Ann’s response! that will be good.
Jeez, is RTL shooting itself in the foot? Is Romney worse than McCain or Huckabee? Is Mitt worse than Hillary?
Now that Thompson has bowed out, I’m looking at Romney. Between now and February 5th, I’ll make a decision about my primary vote.
There’s no one else on the Republican ticket I can even consider. BTW, any word on why Hunter came out with his endorsement of Romney? I’m wondering if he waited for Thompson’s decision to change his plans.
Hunter didn’t endorse Romney. He endorsed Huckabee.
This is such “look at me” BS from the “nothing matters but abortion” crowd.
I am intellectually interested in what Ann has to say. And after that, I would like to see her. She is fascinating to me.
So, my fellow conservatives, do we hold our noses and close our eyes at the ballot box and check mark a RINO, or do we "show 'em"" like we did with Congress? Even with RINO neocon Bush as POTUS, we see a few victories emerge. How many will escape the veto pen of her heinous?
Last I heard, Hunter endorsed Huckabee:
“I got to know Governor Huckabee well on the campaign trail,” said Hunter. “Of the remaining candidates I feel that he is strongly committed to strengthening national defense, constructing the border fence and meeting the challenge of China’s emergence as a military superpower that is taking large portions of America‚s industrial base.”
“Along with these issues of national security, border enforcement and protecting the U.S. industrial base, I see another quality of Mike Huckabee’s candidacy that compels my endorsement. Mike Huckabee is a man of outstanding character and integrity. I saw that character over the last year of campaigning and was greatly impressed. The other Republican candidates have many strengths and I wish them all well. My personal choice is Mike Huckabee,” Hunter concluded.

it’s what keeps liberals winning. they understand how to compromise and win hearts and minds
Oops! You're right. A doctor's visit and errands in between threads can make one forgetful.
Yeah, I was just reminded. A doctor's visit & errands between threads can make a guy forgetful.
Still, I find it curious he comes out with this shortly after Fred drops out. There's probably nothing to it but, well, it's curious. I just thought he perhaps may have waited to see whether Fred would stay in..or not.
So let’s face it: if Romney becomes president or not, what could he do about abortion one way or another . I believe Congress as a group has to do something :(and or the Supreme Court). McCain says he is against abortion but what has he done to fight it? Nothing that we know of. I’m against abortion but not going to base the whole presidency on that one issue.
Realistically, there isn't all that much a President can do about abortion except appoint conservative judges
The bottom line is, come November we may have a choice between somebody who is soft on opposing abortion, versus somebody who wants to make abortion a sacrament.
Speaking for myself, I'm regarded as radical right-wing conservative by my friends, but abortion is not my main hot button. The 2nd Amendment, immigration, the war against the Global Jihad -- these are all much higher on my priority list.
American Right to Life is an extremist organization that falsely claims on its website that National Right to Life supports a “strategy of child-killing regulations.” It has little to no credibility in the pro-life movement. James Bopp and Jay Sekulow are the two most well known attorneys in the national fight to oppose abortion on demand. They both support Mitt Romney.
Like she’s going to respond to these people.
