The health of the mother????

There is no one in the life versus abortion debate who doesn't understand this is a different issue than the life of the mother.

So, when Romney juxtaposes "life" with "health" and uses them both together, he is either totally ignorant -- which he isn't -- or he is allowing a loophole big enough to drive all of planned parenthood through.

Intentionally

[napscoordinator]

It is not ok for the health of the mother. Good Lord what a crock. This guy sucks more and more daily! Any mother who kills their own child to save their own is a selfish person.

[Mr. K]

i dont understand the argument

if the mothers health is in peril, of course you can have an abortion- what are you going to do? force a women to die to keep her baby (if she doesnt want to?)

I may be as pro-life as possible but I am not going to be stupid about it

[xzins]

Did Mitt just up the ante?

Or

Was he totally stupid

My money is on he’s trying to cover all the bases so he allows everything.

Let’s look at our scorecard: Romneycare, gay couples, gay adoption, gay boy scouts, gun control, abortion for “health” of mother, the biggest loophole of them all. Add to that “tax code ‘revenue enhancers’”.

If it weren’t so bad already, I’d say it was getting worse.

What it’s getting is what WE, THE RESISTANCE, predicted. NOT what the ABOs predicted.

Excuse me? How can Romney have some exception to a ban if there is no ban?

Abortion is currently legal for mother's health, wealth, whim, folly, coin flipping or mood.

THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS. This is such an idiotic circular firing squad.

[G Larry]

Since the law isn’t about to change, Romney should shut up.

Tell the reporter, The “rape & incest” meme, is a red herring, never before proposed in legislation, so there’s no point in debating a fraudulent position.”

The same AP article was already posted on FR here:

What else is he gonna say? The VAST majority of women voters have bought in this crap about abortion. He would have zero (0) chance of being elected otherwise.

[mlizzy]

He’s pro-life when it’s convenient and not when it’s not. Do you think it’s the 3-million dollars that PP is pouring into anti-Mitt advertising that caused him to suddenly feel for the woman with health issues (runny nose, backache, etc.)? He is so full of malarkey, but very predictable.

Curse Romney's sudden but Inevitable betrayal!

[Paleo Conservative]

And that was also legal prior to Roe v Wade.

President Obama in an interview Saturday said that if Romney were president, the Republican would not "stand in the way" if Congress attempted to strip women of their reproductive health rights. Democrats have recently stepped up their attacks against the GOP ticket on the issue of reproductive rights, in part because of the strong views held by Romney's running mate Rep. Paul Ryan, and in part because of the controversial remarks GOP Senate candidate Todd Akin made on rape and abortion.

Romney, however, told Pelley that the issue amounts to a distraction.

"Recognize this is the decision that will be made by the Supreme Court," he said. "The Democrats try and make this a political issue every four years, but this is a matter in the courts. It's been settled for some time in the courts."

So we have an AP story about a SeeBS interview that helps Obama's campaign steer the campaign toward the "war on women" and away from the economy, and Freepers gleefully bite.

Brilliant.

P.S. abb...have you deleted your "Dinosaur Media" list yet? It still has complete control over the gullible public.

> Romney says abortion legal for mother’s health

If Romney thinks that he can pull votes away from abortionist Obama with such talk, he’s dead wrong.

[SoFloFreeper]

Stop. From what I read, the campaign released a clarification about this statement, and it DID NOT include the controversial “health” language.

[brightright]

Even today women die in childbirth,{ very small percent}. So a woman could at anytime demand an abortion, for health and life reasons. Exactly what we have now, Abortion on demand. Now we can also add gender selection as a reason for abortion . { I will be so depressed if I have another boy }It is not just opening doors it is knocking down all walls.

[OldPossum]

Why don’t Republicans quit even talking about abortion? It’s a no-win topic.

[sam_paine]

Does everyone on this thread understand that if the Supreme Court overturned Roe V. Wade TOMORROW that abortion would still be legal in New York and California and a score of other states if not nearly all now?

But we should focus on this and do Obama’s bidding and ignore all the economic news and failed policies, etc?

Mitt is pro-abortion and pro-homosexual.
