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.
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.”
Ditto. I suppose those same people would have heckled the Apostle Paul when he tried to preach at Ephesus.
Romney has gotten a pass from some. His actions after declaring himself pro-life in no way showed a conversion. Why should anyone believe he has changed? After all, we don’t believe McCain when he says he changed, and rightly so, as his actions do not meet his rhetoric.
Did you convert at a time when it was *extremely* politically convenient?
With an attitude like Deroy Murdock, the ProLife movement will NEVER gain another convert.... because they would all be chastized as flip-flop liar degenerates, or whatever.
People can and do change. Saul of Tarsus, in the New Testament, had previously sought out new Christians and Jews to persecute and kill.
He had a God-inspired conversion on the Road to Damascus, and went on to write some of the most inspiring books in the New Testament.
Who is to say Mitt Romney is not just as sincere.
At one time, I accepted abortion as something that women just "did."
It is dispicable that people would now accuse me, an avid pro-lifer, of being a flip-flopping liar because of my previous ideas.
