Two things to listen for:
1. Romney explaining what he believes “in my heart of hearts.”
2. The Massachusetts Citizens for Life spokesman publicly criticizing Romney, notable since only a year later — after receiving a $15,000 contribution from Romney — it was Mass Cits for Life who “saw the light” and thereafter signed a letter saying how “pro-life” Romney is.
“The governor’s turnaround is especially unexpected since Romney has been presenting himself as a conservative on social issues in anticipation of a possible run for the presidency in 2008. This decision will certainly undermine the credibility of his conservatism with Republican Party members that may have been inclined to support him up to now.”
Gee, I thought that Mr. Romney was a convinced pro-LIFER by the end of 2005.
Guess he’s just a convinced pro-ROMNEYER.
And folks want me to vote for this fraud?
So, Governor Romney's good-faith effort to comply with the law is somehow non-conservative??
Was he supposed to flaunt the law and impose his own beliefs on the state? I thought that we conservatives look down on such behavior, at least when a liberal does it.
Mitt consulted with his attorney and tried his best to follow the law. That's a trait I want in the President of the US.
A long list of Mitt flip flops was posted on MSDNC this am.
It’s here:

Scroll down to the words: “No matter how much he spends Mitt can’t fun from his record. He is not honest and he is a conservative only in presidenbtial elections.”
He approved it for sexual assault victims, good for him.
Anyone knows how long it took for Reagan to change some of his democratic views to republican views?
No problem..........close down the hospitals. When the government tries to tell a business what they have to do, shut it down.
Get educated. The “morning after pill” is not an abortion. It prevents pregnancy.
It is also used in rape cases to protect the victims. Again, the “morning after pill” is not an abortion. This is sad.
This guy should be doing tricks in a high-wire circus act or making mega bucks as high paid attorney for criminal celebrities, not running for President of the United States.
You really leave out a lot of imformation to make your sick case!
“Why I vetoed contraception bill,” The Boston Globe, 7/26/2005)

There are many Conservatives that don’t agree with the Catholic rather extreme position on birth control. To offer the morning after pill is good prevention. I have no problem with PREVENTING a pregnancy.
I read all the posts here. Based on the article, Romney got legal advice from his attorney. He did not get a court mandate. I think if he was as passionate as he claims, he would have told his attorney to take it to court. I want to see a court in the United States tell a private Catholic Hospital that they are forced to provide abortions or the morning after pill and settle it with the Supreme court once and for all. I know the article states that the Catholic Church remains exempt, but as much as I am happy to know that, why should a Baptist or any other Church NOT be exempt. He should have fought it.
Even Ronald Reagan changed positions during his lifetime. He wasn’t always a Republican.
Thanks for this info. I was not aware. Sad to say, but I’m done with Romney.
