“I wondered that myself about Paul, and I’m still confused, however, a friend of mine who knows Paul through a friend said he feels he’s a good guy. ??”

I wish Paul Ryan to be the answer to prayers but look, he already belongs to Romney and is going away from the faith. Sickening. There are no exceptions for abortion.

If it’s true, the news today:

Paul Ryan Softens Anti-Abortion Stance as ‘Good Step in the Right Direction’

By Shushannah Walshe | ABC OTUS News –

In Flight Between Roanoke, Va., and Raleigh, N.C. - Although Paul Ryan has taken the position that all abortions, even in the case of rape and incest, should be outlawed, the Wisconsin congressman supports Mitt Romney’s softer position now that he shares the GOP presidential ticket because it’s a “good step in the right direction,” he said today.

Romney believes abortion should be legal in cases of abortion or incest, or when the mother’s life is in danger. Ryan’s previous position only extended exceptions to protecting the mother’s life.

“Look, I’m proud of my record,” Ryan said at a brief news conference on his plane. “I’m proud of my record. Mitt Romney is going to be president and the president sets policy. His policy is exceptions for rape, incest and life of the mother. I’M COMFORTABLE WITH IT, because it’s a good step in the right direction.”

He wouldn’t say he regretted abortion legislation he co-sponsored with Rep. Todd Akin of Missouri, explaining that he is “proud of my pro-life record I have.”

“That bill passed, I think, by 251 votes,” Ryan said. “It was bipartisan. I think HR-3 is the one you are talking about. I think we had 251 votes, 16 Democrats, I am proud of my pro-life record I have.”...

Tragic; this was of course in the news a couple days ago, but not set so firm. Selling his soul for what? Will more people start to become skeptical of the Mormon faith in a place of power now? I feel a bit nauseous but I shouldn't be surprised. Thanks for giving me the news.
