Here are a few things Romney did. I found them in a 35 second search. The National ProLife organization has more.
Besides, pick any Republican conservative Governor... and tell me what THEY'VE done specifically in the past five years to promote the ProLife cause.
If it's so easy, I'm sure you can rattle off accomplishments of .... say Haley Barbour... or Robert Erlich of Maryland, or Jeb Bush of Florida, or Mike Huckabee of Arkansas, for that matter.
Here are a few things Romney did....
Are they earth shattering? No. but he DID many ProLife things.
- Governor Romney Vetoed Legislation That Would Have Provided For The "Morning After Pill" Without A Prescription. (Governor Mitt Romney, Op-Ed, "Why I Vetoed The Contraception Bill," The Boston Globe, 7/26/05)
- Governor Romney Promoted Abstinence Education In The Classroom. (Office Of Governor Mitt Romney, "Romney Announces Award Of Abstinence Education Contract," Press Release, 4/20/06)
- Governor Romney Vetoed Legislation That Would Have Changed The Longstanding Definition Of The Beginning Of Human Life From Fertilization To Implantation. (Governor Mitt Romney, Letter To The Massachusetts State Senate And House Of Representatives, 5/12/05)
- Governor Romney Supports Parental Notification Laws And Opposed Efforts To Weaken Parental Involvement. (John McElhenny, "O'Brien And Romney Spar In Last Debate Before Election," The Associated Press, 10/29/02)
- Governor Romney Supports Adult Stem Cell Research But Has Opposed Efforts To Advance Embryo-Destructive Research In Massachusetts. (Theo Emery, "Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney Vetoes Stem Cell Bill," The Associated Press, 5/27/05)
- Governor Romney Supports Adult Stem Cell Research But Has Opposed Efforts To Advance Embryo-Destructive Research In Massachusetts. (Theo Emery, "Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney Vetoes Stem Cell Bill," The Associated Press, 5/27/05) I believe if you check, the Romulan's proclamation regarding 'donation' of alive 'leftover' embryo-aged humans for 'research' was more recent than 5/27/05! You Mittiacs tell these lies often enough and heatedly enough and you might just slick him into a nomination for your Northeastern liberal. But he will be destroyed by the media in the general because he's not equal to the lies you keep posting for him ... he's a duplicitous liar lusting for more power. Embryos mean nothing to this panderer. Unborn babies mean nothing to him either, as his thirty years of defending abortion on demand show.
Again . he maintained the status quo - what did he do to FORWARD the cause?
For the record: I didn’t have to search, I already knew his record on the issue and I am NOT a Romney supporter.
Give me a positive action - something that he did to disrupt the status quo - something to forward the cause of life? You can’t because he did NOTHING - and by doing NOTHING he accomplished his stated goal, one of which he is unabashedly proud - just ask him.
Just in case anyone cares: The MA Parental notification law has been on the books since 1981 - his position in 2002 was consistent with his ‘change nothing’ approach to life issues.
