ON the issues. Romney is pro-life. McCain is pro-life. Romney opposes federal funding of embryonic stem cell research.

McCain SUPPORTS federal funding of embryonic stem cell research.

He wants to use our tax dollars in a way that many pro-lifers consider murder.

I thought he was a fiscal conservative. Where does the constitution say that we should fund ANY research, much less research that many pro-lifers believe kills babies?

“ON the issues. Romney is pro-life.”

Expanding taxpayer funded abortions to make them available to women who are 300% above the Federal Poverty Line (up to $32,000 for single women) when the prior law only covered medicaid eligible women (who were 133% of the FPL, or up to about $14,000) is not prolife. With a $50n copay, no less. This is why National Right to life rejected him in favor of Thompson. On embryonic stem cells he has been for them as recently as last year. I have no idea whether he switched his position last Thursday, but the issue is moot. Scientific advances make such cells available without destroying the embryo.

He still has the matter of the tax payer funded abortions, with a $50 copay, in Romney Care which is killing him in the south.
