OK so in one corner we have a “man” who voted three times to prevent any care of babies born alive after abortions because it would inconvenience the mother and require a pediatrician to be called. A man who doesn’t want his daughters punished with a baby.
In the other hand we have a man who has been consistent in his position on abortion since 1994. Who believes it is the wrong choice but that it is legal and has been for many years. He states his beliefs don’t trump the law. (Big contrast to Obama here!) So I am alone in seeing that there is a clear difference between these men?
From Wikepedia “The Boston Globe on July 26, 2005 quoted Romney saying, “I am pro-life. I believe that abortion is the wrong choice except in cases of incest, rape, and to save the life of the mother. I wish the people of America agreed, and that the laws of our nation could reflect that view. But while the nation remains so divided over abortion, I believe that the states, through the democratic process, should determine their own abortion laws and not have them dictated by judicial mandate.”[216] At the May 2007 Republican Presidential debate in South Carolina, Romney stated that “Roe v. Wade has gone to such an extent that we’ve cheapened the value of human life.” He followed by saying “the people should make [the abortion] decision, not the court.”[201] Romney’s spokesperson has indicated that had Romney been the governor of South Dakota, he would have signed into law the controversial law banning abortion, but he would include exceptions for cases of incest or rape, which the South Dakota law excludes.[217]”

In other words, since the last time pro-abortion looked like a winning political strategy to him. I still think Jim had it right.
