...

In a Friday column by Gail Collins, Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) president Cecile Richards was quoted as saying that Romney once was a friend to Planned Parenthood before switching from a pro-choice to a pro-life platform.

...

The former Massachusetts governor refused to sign a Susan B. Anthony List pro-life pledge this summer, saying that the promises in the document were overly broad and prone to unintended consequences, particularly regarding government funding of hospitals.

NY Times: An Early Holiday Hangover

The above New York Times piece talks about how strongly Mitt Romney is a supporter of Planned Parenthood and abortion [they use the term Reproductive Rights -- abortion is not a term in the liberals dictionary...

I guess The New York Times and Planned Parenthood are in love with the Mitt Romney presidental campaign...

I’m a tolerant and forgiving person.

But I can’t abide a baby killer :-(

Maybe it’s a personal flaw, but I can’t deal with someone who would condone this....

I agree with you.

This & the advancement of the homo “rights” agenda in any way are deal breakers for me. Romney needs to go back under whatever rock he crawled out from.

Funny how the news just sort of forgot how, about six weeks ago, Cain put heat on Mitt by being the latest to sign the Anthony declaration. (Cain had apparently been afraid it would commit him to something not possible under the constitution, in that a president cannot literally “advance” a bill — but later took a broader view.)

To me this is a far graver issue than the similarity between Romneycare and Obamacare. I do not believe it is a serious danger that Mitt would go back on his promise to exempt all states from Obamacare (which does not affect Romneycare because that’s a state program). Nor do I believe there is a serious danger that if Congress passed a bill to repeal Obamacare, Mitt would veto that. However it is very clear he is going to be a “pro choice” mush (and the Anthony bill does not even forbid states to perform abortions — it simply forbids Federal participation).

This is a Judas kiss on the part of Planned Parenthood. It’s most likely that Obama, Planned Parenthood and liberals prefer another candidate to Romney. Why would the president of Planned Parenthood write this now?

Axelrod isn’t stupid. He’s done the math. This article is part of and on behalf of the Obama campaign.

Cui bono?

Mitt is trying to walk back most of the Leftist crap he did in Mass—except Romney/Obamacare for some strange reason.
He says he's a conservative now and one has to admit his business record is top notch.
BUT and like Michelle Obama, it is one humongous BUTT, he "was" SO hard core Left it would have taken soul wrenching traumatic epiphanies to go from there to conservative on every issue he expects us to believe he has come to Jesus on.
NOBODY is that good a liar so one has to go by his record in public service and it is hideously liberal. His appointing Leftist activist judges in Mass alone is enough to make him a joke.
Ron Paul supporters are demented but Mittbots are downright stupid dangerous to the Republic!

I will vote for Romney over Obama but that's the nicest thing I can say about the guy.

I don't think he's going to be our nominee despite the fervent wishes of the establishment.

I will vote for Romney . . . What do you expect to get?

In the general election? It's not what I expect to get, it's what I know I will get if the Pub nominee loses.

Remember, the failure to mitigate evil is very evil.

But take heart. I don't think Mittens is going to be the nominee.

OK, what would you expect to avoid via a Romney Administration?

In 2002 or something Romney was openly vowing that if he were nominated his goal was to moderate the GOP (I guess he meant in Massataxes), his audience was abortion and homo rights supporters.
