Perhaps. It may be a conversion for political reasons. There are a lot of reasons people change their minds about things, and to someone living in the political arena, nearly every decision or viewpoint is affected, I would think.
Do you think that someone is ever allowed to change their position on an issue?
Is it possible (and I stress *possible*) that in his move to a presidential stage, he was required to reexamine his views in greater depth or from a different perspective, and decided he had been wrong?
Dear rlmorel,
"Do you think that someone is ever allowed to change their position on an issue?"
Sure I do. I welcome all true conversions from the cause of death to the cause of life.
I just have doubts that Mr. Romney's conversion is real.
"Is it possible (and I stress *possible*) that in his move to a presidential stage, he was required to reexamine his views in greater depth or from a different perspective, and decided he had been wrong?"
It's possible. I just don't see any evidence for it.
Like I said, if he comes out swinging for the cause of life, there is a very good chance I'll back him. Including with early donations.
But if this is just to "punch the ticket" to get the Republican nomination, he can stick it where the sun don't shine. And it's on him to prove the absolute sincerity of his conversion. Otherwise, I ain't buyin'.
A lot of us pro-lifers wonder which "pro-life" politicians are really conviction pro-lifers, and which are just telling us what they want to hear, while they run off and nominate folks like Mr. Souter and Miss Miers.
