He said that because that’s what the law stated in Massachusetts. Did you want him to take a position that was against the law, that was illegal? refer to post #109 you wont find him claiming that he is pro choice or that abortion is a constitutional right, which I believe you claimed he had done on an earlier post.

Yes, but you never heard him expressing disagreement with the law or court decisions that protect a woman's false "right" to kill her unborn child until very recently. Look, Romney may have had some sort of pro-life conversion a few years back, but don't believe that conservatives are stupid enough to believe that he's been pro-life all along. I know you support him, and that's fine. But stop trying to whitewash his pro-choice record and statements. He's a good man and I believe that some of his pro-life conversion is sincere. But his past is his past and you shouldn't try to overcome his weaknesses on core issues by lying about his positions, past or present.

What I have been saying from the beginning is that he pledged not to change the abortion laws already on the books. But I understand what you’re saying. You wanted him to tell 90% of the population in Massachusetts that they are wrong about abortion and then hope to somehow win the election. He didn’t do that.

But in my view in order to be considered pro choice his RECORD would have to be pro choice, not his WORDS. He did not sign into law any abortion legislation. But if you wanna call him pro choice because he didn’t make abortion illegal in Massachusetts then it’s up to you. Maybe he could have convinced the 80%+ democrat legislature to repeal abortion but chose not to.

I thoroughly agree.

You become pro-life when you go public. None of this "I'm personally this but politically that".

That loses points with me. I don't want candidates who take credit for being something privately but the opposite publicly.

It's like they're demanding an award for hypocrisy.
