I’m so glad right to lifers didn’t chastise me when I became pro-life as some are doing here.
All in all, i’d rather a late convert than a guy who believes in using federal funds for embryonic stem cell research and limiting Wisconsin right to life’s free speech.
“Romney’s free ride from pro-lifers”
Haven’t noticed it myself. It seems like they are all over him.
I don’t think this is Romney’s year. He’s going to have to play the role of Reagan in 1976 before he gets the role of Reagan in 1980.
Someone should tell Deroy his candidate is gone so he can stop shilling for him now.
Although since his candidate was sunk for his pro-abortion position, I guess he’s a bit bitter about that.
But if he thinks Romney has gotten a “pass”, he’s not very well read. Romney has been castigated for his past views on the subject, and it’s most likely what has kept him from running away with the nomination.
Which is sad because he IS pro-life, people do change, and we’ve rejected a great person who was with us on our important issues out of fear that he was not telling us the truth, only to run to people who if they are telling us the truth are not people we really want to support.
Apparently that same conversation changed his mind on abortion, guns, gays, global warming, limited government and the Reagan Revolution.
Must have been some conversion. /sarc
Here, Deroy provides the truth of the matter -- that Romney DID support the hospital's desire. But once the legislature overturned him, there was no rational legal basis for the Public Health Department decision, and Romney took sound legal advice to implement the law as written, bad as it was. No court has found his legal council to be wrong about that decision.
The Romulan’s abortion stance was to put the unborn in “Ol’ Sparky” and pull the switch (Ol’ Sparky was also the name of the electric chair in either Georgia or Alabama).
Nobody here is criticizing those that have genuine conversions.
But pardon us for being skeptical of those like Romney that ‘find Jesus’ the day before their parole hearing.
“Trust me. I will be good. I found Jesus last week.”
Once they decided to offer any medical services to the expanded population, by court order that had to include legal abortion services, including the morning-after pill.
Romney got a pass? BAWAHAHAHA
He’s either a convert or a liar. The YouTube vids are all over FR and the net. We all know he supported abortion. Thats not the question, the question is what does he believe now.
If the founder of the National Right To Life (Willkes) and the writer of the GOP pro-life plank (Bopp) say he’s a convert than I welcome him to the right side and suport him as the only way to stop mcCain after my guys quit(Hunter and Fred).
free ride? Weren’t many conservative groups bought off?
All the conservative groups, policians, and talking heads had 5 real conservatives to get behind (and they are out of the race).
Now, some of jumping behind the liberal RINO Romney (I’m basing that on reality .. HIS RECORD).
Interesting, how Romney was given pretty much a free pass by the talking heads all through the campaign?
Somehow I missed this free pass watching all the criticism of Romney’s abortion record and past rhetoric.
Romney: I was liberal, and I was wrong.
McCain: I’m a liberal, and you’re wrong. But I support the war, so vote for me and I can close down Guantanamo and give terrorists constitutional rights. I’m so strong on terror!
” by court order “
It would be great, and reassuring for me, to read that court order.
Is it online?
Ditto. I suppose those same people would have heckled the Apostle Paul when he tried to preach at Ephesus.
What was Romney’s pandering in Michigan? Conservatism? Where was the criticism for that from the talking heads in talk radio?
Well, it definitely isn't McCain's.
