He said that gays raising children is “The American Way”.

He said his administration would be the most pro-gay ever.

He changed his strong support of abortion JUST in time to run for the presidency.

Oh, please! You know that's not what he meant. That is incredibly disingenuous PM. Thought you were above that....

Romney responded to a lesbian mother in the crowd who argued that her family was an American family too, by simply saying that it was the "American Way" that she had the choice to decide the make-up of her own family (even if he did not personally support it). She's free to live her life as she sees fit and Romney is free to disagree with it ----> it's the American way.

You know better than that. In no way, shape or form did he ever say that gays raising children is, or should be, the "American Way" as you imply. Romney has always opposed gay marriage and has said repeatedly that children prosper when they are raised by a mother and a father. MUST READ letter from Massachusetts pro-family groups praising Romney's efforts to strengthen the American family.

Also, he was never a "strong" supporter of abortion. He merely promised to maintain the status quo in a state where approximately 75% of the citizens supported it. He never lobbied for a pro-abort group. He never took pro-active steps to support the pro-choice movement. On the contrary, while governor, he took the side of life on every issue that crossed his desk. Romney's Pro-life Record Proven

Let’s see:
1) Out of context. and actually refused to ‘endorse’ a lesbian couple who were demanding to be called married - Romney explained his opposition to gay marriage *politely*.
It’s a GOOD thing when a candidae can oppose gay Marriage and not come off as a bigot or hypocrite.
2) Another misdirection. He’s not said that in his run for president if at all. Romney is against gay marriage and opposes the Democrat-supported plan to have gays serve openly in the military.
3) Wrong. See
http://www.americansformitt.com/prolife_perspective.html
for his prolife actions as Governor.

0 for 3.
