Really? I’m not discounting you, I was just wondering if you had a link to some of his pro-abortion actions since he claimed to be pro-life.
He still supports embryonic stem cell research, but hides that behind opposition to public funding of the research and to human cloning.
Romney's stem cell view may upset the right
Use of excess embryos at issue
By Scott Helman, Globe Staff | February 11, 2007
In the heated debate among conservatives over whether Mitt Romney deserves their vote, the focus has been largely on whether his big swings to the right on social issues are sincere.
But on the charged issue of stem cell research, he's facing conservative criticism of a different shade: that he hasn't swung far enough.
Unlike many on the right, Romney supports research on excess embryos created during fertility treatments. Because couples are making embryos to have a baby, he reasons, it is ethical to use the leftovers for research when they would otherwise just be discarded.
Romney's position, however, is at odds with the views of many conservative anti abortion activists, who believe that any work on stem cells derived from human embryos is wrong, because it destroys the embryos in the process. Some say Romney's views make him unacceptable to many voters and will complicate his attempt to win the 2008 GOP nomination by appealing to the party's conservative flank.
Romney also opposes a Human Life Amendment to the Constitution, and thinks states should be able to allow the killing of unborn children if they want to. He has said many times that he doesn't think we should have a "one-size-fits-all" approach to abortion.
Got a date in mind?
