I got this from the EFM website:
The only thing NARAL's characterization of Gov. Romney indicates is that they're not as gullible as some. They knew better than to believe him. Pro-lifers should be equally skeptical and have equally high standards for our support.
Romney's response to the National Abortion Rights Action League's 2002
candidate survey: ''I respect and will protect a woman's right to choose.
This choice is a deeply personal one. Women should be free to choose based
on their own beliefs, not mine and not the government's. The truth is, no
candidate in the governor's race in either party would deny women abortion
rights."
Notably, Romney refused to answer Massachusetts Citizens for Life's
candidate questionnaire.
Please feel free to publish.
And Romney is exactly right on that. Doesn't matter WHAT his personal belief or opinion is on it, there's no way ANY politician is going to be able to deny any woman over 18 an abortion.
He has said squishy things about 'choice' over the years here in MA, but he was saying what he thought he needed to say to get elected. I wish he had just stayed a more conservative course in the Senate race. He was going to lose anyway, cause NO ONE is going to beat Teddy Kennedy here; it ain't gonna happen, unless The Swimmer kills another young girl, and it might not even happen then! If Romney had stayed the pro-life course, he might have given some strength to the conservatives in the state.
