you think a baby should be killed because some lady has a cold or a stuffy nose?

You realize, of course, that in the pro-life cause there is a huge difference for years between “health of mother” and “life of mother”, don’t you?

Dude, I’m pro-life too. I’m just relatively young, so I’m not exactly up to date on the jargon.

What evidence is there that when Romney says ‘health,’ he means anything but a grave or disfiguring illness? Has he ever specified that he intends a difference between ‘life’ and ‘health’? Because until today, I’ve not been at all aware of such things.

You do realize of course that you are not in agreement with the pro-life organizations’ views on this:

Although Romney had made his position on abortion clear throughout the campaign — opposing abortions except in cases of rape or incest and contrasting that with President Barack Obama’s position supporting 100% of all abortions throughout pregnancy for any reason — some pro-life voters wrongly assumed Romney had changed his position.

However, Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the Susan B. Anthony List, tells conservative radio talk show host Bryan Fischer that she confirmed with the Romney campaign that the candidate did not meant to say “health” and that his pro-life views remain the same.

“If that were his position, he would never have received our endorsement, that’s for sure,” Dannenfelser told the American Family Radio host. “I have heard clarification from his spokesperson, restating what his position really is, which is rape, incest, life of the mother. That is his position. Those are his exceptions.”


“Governor Romney has made it clear that he is the pro-life candidate in this race — which is why the SBA List Board of Directors voted unanimously to stand behind him in April. It is the responsibility of all pro-life voters to now unite behind Governor Romney. Together we can put a pro-life leader in the White House,” Dannenfelser said.
