You're ignoring the facts and the timing.

I'm not ignoring anything.

Do you think it would have been wiser for Governor Romney to fight with the overwhelmingly Democrat state legislature, his Lt. Gov and a big chunk of his constituency? It's a fight he knew he could never win.

I know you Mitt-bashers want to blame every bad thing that happened during his watch onto him, but there are honestly things a Republican governor in Massachusetts just can't change.

If anything, your post proves that Mitt was pro-life at that point! Your own quote shows that he wanted to exempt the Catholic hospitals. Then, a huge wave of opposition put a screeching halt to his position. That, combined with the opinion of his attorney that the law wouldn't allow it either, meant that Mitt would have been foolish to waste time and energy on a sure loser, and would have been supporting the violation of a law created by a liberal legislature.

Surrender is the name of the game, eh?

Well, at least I understand you now.

Nah, it's typical Mitt.

He met with the Catholics and told them what they wanted to hear.

Then the Globe and Kerry Healey started screeching and he flip-flopped and told THEM what they wanted to hear.
