If we reject Romney for McCain, and lose the election to Hillary, the pro-abortion forces will be laughing at the pro-lifers who ran anti-Romney ads, and it won’t be behind closed doors.

The rest of us will be crying over another 30+million dead babies because of 2-3 pro-roe supreme court nominations.

But we won’t try to put personal culpability for those deaths on the people who allowed Hillary to get elected.

McCain has a far, far better chance in the general election than Romney would.

You know that.

Even in 1994, he was not embraced by Planned Parenthood or NARAL, the leading pro-abortion organizations in America, and he did not seek their endorsements.

Romney DID seek their endorsement in 2002, stated his undying support for Roe v Wade, suggested they should support a pro-choice Republican like him so he could liberalize the GOP from within, and even pledged his support for government funding of abortion.

Are you saying that Mitt actually moved LEFT on abortion from 1994 to 2002?!?

I didn’t write that statement, so I didn’t “say” anything. However, the section you are parsing is true, he was not embraced by them in 1994. What you make of it is up to you. I stand behind Romney not on what he says, but because of his pro-life actions. James Bopp Jr. and Dr. John Wilkes have vouched for his pro-life actions as Governor and his conversion, that is good enough for me.

Regarding any presidential contender's stance on abortion, let's not overlook what are possibly MAJOR constitutional problems with the USSC's legalization of abortion. For example, given that the federal Constitution says nothing about abortion, the 10th A. automatically reserves government power to address abortion issues to the state governments.
10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
So what happned to the 10th A. in Roe v. Wade?

This post (<-click) attempts to explain how FDR's constitutionally unauthorized New Deal programs arguably led to the USSC's scandalous legalization of abortion. Note that the post first references two non-abortion, state power case opinions in order to show Roe v. Wade in a different perspective.

Should anybody feel inclined to comment about the post referenced above, please do so in this thread.

As I've mentioned elsewhere, the people need to wise up to very serious corruption in the federal government, particularly where the 10th A. powers of the states are being ignored, the scandalous legalization of abortion being one example. The people need to quit sitting on their hands and petition lawmakers, judges and justices who are not upholding their oaths to defend the Constitution, demanding that they resign from their jobs.

We should be all over him.

He has a pro-abortion Record. It’s just a fact, and I’ll not lie about it.

I’m glad he says he converted. But how much stock do I put in John McCain’s saying he’s seen the light on illegal amnesty?

I’m not sure I’d say that McCain says he’s seen the light. He still says he’ll sign the amnesty bill if it makes it to his desk. But he says that since it will never get to his desk, he won’t have the chance.
