Romney is an ascendant guy."

Romney’s Venue Problem Mitt Romney will be giving a major health care speech tomorrow at the University of Michigan Cardiovascular Center. Two interesting tidbits about the Center: it’s affiliated with a university that provides abortions Planned Parenthood cannot do and it helped fund new embryonic stem cell lines — which requires the destruction of human embryos. From the University of Michigan Alumni Association [emphasis mine]:
The A. Alfred Taubman Medical Research Institute Consortium for Stem Cell Therapies is the first major embryonic stem cell research program launched in Michigan since the Nov. 4 passage of a state constitutional amendment allowing scientists to create new stem cell lines using surplus embryos from fertility clinic … So far, funding for the project has been pledged by the A. Alfred Taubman Medical Research Institute, Executive Vice President for Medical Affairs Dr. Robert Kelch, Medical School Dean Dr. James Woolliscroft, the Life Sciences Institute, the College of Engineering, the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology, the Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Department of Pediatrics and Communicable Diseases, the Cardiovascular Center, the Department of Neurology, the Department of Pathology, and the Clinical and Translational Science Award consortium. Romney opposes embryonic stem cell research and, after being pro-abortion for much of his political career, became pro-life in 2004. It’s likely this is just a situation of bad vetting. But with many voters still considering the sincerity of Romney’s switch on abortion, it won’t be helpful that the campaign choose this venue for such a major speech.
May 11, 2011 5:17 P.M. By Katrina Trinko The University of Michigan today announced the formation of a consortium to create new embryonic stem cell lines that will aid the search for disease treatments and cures.
Romney couldn’t even beat McCain; enough said...
This would be a problem for an individual with principles, however...

Why would it be a problem, he supports abortion being available for convenience.
Evidently it took a while to take hold, because this is him speaking in 2005.

Perfect use of an old saying: “’X’ would screw up a wet dream.”
Like I’ve been saying for years, I think there is something wrong, mentally, with Milt. And I’m not joking or making fun of mentally disabled people.
There is something way off with Milt, besides the fact he’s at best, a RINO.
He should be content to count his million$, enjoy his family and take care of his wife.
Screw Romney.
Might not be a problem for him personally, but is a problem if he wants to be the GOP nominee in 2012.
If somebody wants to argue for abortion rights, they have to balance the life interest of the unborn against the indidual rights of the mother. That is a valid discussion (even if they are wrong).
But in order to argue for embryonic stem cell research, they have to balance the life interest of the unborn against some third party’s right to do experiments upon them or use a utilitarian argument that the value of the research outweighs the value of the human life destroyed.
The first argument violates the principle that my right to swing my fist ends at your nose. A third party simply has no right to end another’s life for fun or profit.
The second argument is the thin edge of the wedge that starts assigning different values to different humans based on external factors. We’ve been on this train before, and the last station on the line is Auschwitz.
