A lot of people changed their minds back when Roe v. Wade was imposed on our country. Before that, they really hadn’t thought about abortion.
The Catholic bishops for the most part were slow to respond. The first pro-lifers were Catholic lay people.
Evangelicals also took a number of years to think about it, before they came out on the pro-life side.
So Reagan’s development makes sense. Romney’s doesn’t. He was claiming to be pro abortion when everyone in the country KNEW what abortion was all about. And he did so AGAINST the teachings of the LDS. And some of his pro-gay activities and statements are quite recent.
I believe in conversions stories, but this one is pretty hard to believe in, unfortunately. I wouldn’t really care, except that I’m afraid that if push comes to shove he wouldn’t hestitate to convert again.
Mitt Romney is adamant that the LDS is not pro-life.
Whatever that means.
And against Ronald Reagan, too.
Cordially,
