As an example, the very first item (abortion) is from 1994; Romney is now pro-life, and as governor he has sided with life.

Mitt was pro-abortion right through

2004

when he decided to run for president.

Why do you Romney supporters keep ignoring Mitt's support for abortion and pandering to NARAL in 2002 up until his supposed pre-presidential primary 'conversion'?

Why do you keep distorting and lying and denying the facts?

Are you saying that Romney said he was going to run for President 3 years ago? I don't think so. Do you read minds?

If Romney has finally come to the pro-life side and if his record since his conversion demonstrates that, then GREAT! We want more people to realize that life should be protected. I will have to examine his record closer, but if he started his term in 2003 and he became pro-life in 2004, then it would show that he was pro-life through the MAJORITY of his term.

If we discarded every candidate who ever made the mistake of voting for or signing into law anything that was pro-abortion in nature, and we did not allow for a conversion to becoming pro-life, then we would have never elected Ronald Reagan. He signed the 1967 Therapeutic Abortion Bill as Governor of California. Shortly thereafter, he realized his mistake and became pro-life. His pro-life record after that is probably unsurpassed by any politician. I want to look at Romney's record more and hear more of what he has to say on this subject. His conversion may be genuine. He's certainly not out there right now, as Giuliani is, stating that abortion is a constitutional right and that taxpayers should continue to fund abortions. And he certainly doesn't have the egregiously pro-abortion record that Giuliani had as Mayor of NYC.

Which facts am I "distorting and lying and denying"?

I think that the reverse of what you claim to know is more likely the case. People who were pro-choice and switched to pro-life usually do so over time and after much discussion with family and friends, and, again usually, after a personal experience with the abortion issue. In any event, I believe that Mitt will be a strong advocate for pro-life.
