Even if one is foolish, or desperate, enough to take Romney at his word about his “pro-life conversion,” the fact is that to this day, on his website, he takes a judicial supremacist - ie anti-constitution, anti-republican - pro-choice democrat position on abortion.

He thinks that the supreme God-given, unalienable right can be determined by a vote of the people, and/or that states should be able to decide to kill babies if they want to.

In the modern political context, this is the position of Gerald R. Ford Republicans. In the historical, moral context this is identical to the position of Stephen A. Douglas Democrats.

Which of course is completely contrary to the founding principles of the Party of Lincoln, and also to the Reagan Republican pro-life plank that has been in the GOP platform since 1984, which recognizes the personhood of the child in the womb and their protection by the Fourteenth Amendment.

Dear EternalVigilance,

I agree with much of what you're saying.

I just don't think a vote for you does anything to solve the problem.

It's a bit like saying, “Doctor, the patient is currently bleeding to death and, should we actually save him from bleeding to death, he also has cancer and if we don't do something about that, it may be terminal.”

And the doctor replies, “Okay! Let's eat ham sandwiches! That'll fix the problem!"

One thing doesn't follow the other. Voting for you doesn't prevent the worst possibility - re-election of the anti-Christ - from occurring. Neither does it repair the misunderstanding of constitutional principles held by nearly everyone in the United States.
