I really think Jim has said all that needs to be said about this on the thread above. His pertinent comments start with post #58 which I’ve linked and he clarifies following several others.
This is Mitts crime. NO man of character uses abortion to further his personal aspirations. He lied to the people of Mass or he lying now or both. And I won’t believe he’s changed no matter how many endorsements you post claimong otherwise. He has shown his character and it is Clintonesqe to say the least.
The audacity of your claim is truly flooring given how much you really don't know.
Pro-life leaders who DO know him and HAVE met him TRUST HIM.
For heaven's sake, THE MAN WHO WROTE THE HUMAN LIFE AMENDMENT FOR THE GOP PLATFORM, Jim Bopp, has endorsed Mitt. He has met him, spoken to him and worked beside him. Do you think Jim Bopp isn't serious about furthering the pro-life cause? Do you think you are more perspicacious in your assessments or more dedicated in your commitment to the cause than Bopp, who has dedicated his whole life to it?
How about Dr. Wilke, credited as being the father of the ENTIRE pro-life movement? He has endorsed Mitt too. Do you know better than him as well? He has also spent time with Mitt, thoroughly researched his record and platform and finds him sincere and trustworthy as well.

Governor Romney has received the important endorsement of James Bopp, Jr., a nationally-known constitutional lawyer and leading advocate for the pro-life movement. James Bopp reviewed Romney's record as Governor and questioned him personally before giving Romney his endorsement. Bopp later joined the Romney Presidential campaign as a special adviser on life issues, an unpaid position.
(James Bopp Jr., "The Best Choice Is Also a Good Choice - Why social conservatives should support Mitt Romney for president," National Review Online, 2/21/2007)
Dr. John Willke, a Founder of the Pro-Life Movement Nationally and Internationally, Served for 10 Years as President of The National Right To Life Committee and Helped Found the Organization Endorseed Mitt Romney: "Unlike other candidates who only speak to the importance of confronting the major social issues of the day, Governor Romney has a record of action in defending life. Every decision he made as Governor was on the side of life. I know he will be the strong pro-life President we need in the White House. Governor Romney is the only candidate who can lead our pro-life and pro-family conservative movement to victory in 2008."

I might not be as smart as you are, but I am smart enough to know when to defer to credible people who have met Mitt, who have assessed his credbility and sincerity, and who are much more informed on an issue than I am. Your arrogance is stunning.
