Romney, despite his declarations of being pro-life continues to champion the Culture of Death on multiple fronts.

But if a parent decides they would want to donate one of those embryos for purposes of research, in my view, that's acceptable. It should not be made against the law.

Obscene.

It's no different than saying "if a parent decides they would want to donate one of their preschoolers for purposes of research, in my view, that's acceptable. It should not be made against the law."

Romney noted that he would not permit public monies to pay for such research. "I wouldn't finance that with government money because it represents a moral challenge for a lot of people and I think we're better investing in places where the prospects are much better," he said.

Isn't this position one that most people here would agree with? Can't we give Mitt credit for being right about this?

“We’re gonna start creating life and then destroying it,” you’re, in effect, playing God.”

Um, I thought that’s what that “Exaltation” thing was about. I think Mitt is doing a straddle on his Mormonism (”no revelations since Moses”), much less on every other issue.

But you know, some of us predicted long ago that he would be forced down this path. You can’t just ignore the religious basis of morality and think all the widgets are going to fit together in a political campaign.

Romney's answer really isn't any different than that of other LDS members in Congress ~ on both sides of the aisle.

Surprise!

On the other hand, if you take a look at the "government wouldn't play a role" statement, phrase, you find that he simply never got involved in any serious discussions of abortion, it's morality or absence of morality, and what part the government DOES play in it.

All of us on the RTL side of the debate know very well that abortion has not been privatized and the government plays a very powerful part in the business.

It would not, after all, exist for a second once it was privatized and government protection removed. At the moment the government holds a gun to the head of each and every right thinking RTL person in America.

If Romney really did want the government out of the abortion business, he would have been on our side of the issue.

So, how can I judge what he said against the standard of his written policy positions? Well, they are less slippery, and less incisive than this, but he's pretty slippery here, and if Katie "she that bleets" Couric were able to think about it a sec she'd understood what he said about getting government out of the abortion business and ran screaming from the stage lest she be throttled on the spot.

So much for that interview ~ again, a passle of soundbytes signifying nothing.

So why did somebody drag Katie Couric into Free Republic? I thought South Park took care of her once and for all.

Basically the same as President Bush's position.

Romney is being subjected to a double standard here.

No other candidate has called for banning the use of "surplus" embryos for research. President Bush hasn't, either.

Yet you are only criticizing Romney for it.

Why?

He is wrong on that. But note that to be completely pro-life, you would probably have to ban in vitro fertilization. The key issue now is if the govt will fund embryo experiments, and Romney, Bush, Huck and Fred are right on that one. Not sure about Rudy and McCain. Anyone know for sure?
