Dear MassachusettsGOP,
"Thats total rubbish, even in 1994 he stated that he opposed government funding of abortions."
You might be right. At least once or twice. It's hard to keep track of Mr. Romney's pronounced positions on issues.
A quick look shows that at some point in 2002, he apparently backed state choice on Medicaid funding of abortion, which is not the same as backing state funding. However, his running mate in 2002 assured the public that there wasn't a "dime's worth of difference" between Mr. Romney's abortion position and the Democrat candidate's position.
Which seems to suggest significant amounts of talking out of both sides of one's mouth.
I also note that you let pass this exchange between us:
"By his 2002 Governor's race, he declared himself personally Pro-Life, but would Govern with a moratorium on changing Abortion laws as Massachusetts is 70% Pro-Choice."
That's not the whole truth.
In the 2002 gubernatorial race, he also affirmed in an answer to a Planned Parenthood questionnaire that he believed in the substance of the ruling Roe vs. Wade, that abortion is a constitutional right.
Thus, Mr. Romney, in 2002, was not pro-life by any stretch of the imagination. He still held firmly to the substance of Roe, which, with its companion piece Doe v. Bolton, pretty much requires abortion on demand throughout the 50 states.
That's not a pro-life position.
To say it is is to promote another falsehood.
I've pinged a couple of gentlemen who might be able to identify, document, and elucidate the meandering opinions of Mr. Romney on government funding of abortion.
