Of the six candidates still in the race, 3 have a history of being pro-life (Huckabee, McCain, and Paul), 2 are vehemently pro-abortion (H. Clinton and Obama), and one was pro-abortion but now claims to be pro-life (Romney). So the Reverend excludes two of the three pro-life candidates...is he implicitly endorsing Ron Paul?
Who knows? He doesn't tell us who he likes, maybe because he lacks any real faith.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Let me ask one question about abortion. Then I want to turn to Iraq. You're for a constitutional amendment banning abortion, with some exceptions for life and rape and incest.

McCain flipped on funding embryonic stem cell research.
Initially supporting the President's restriction as to federal funding, McCain then asked for an expansion to include wider research saying, "I believe that we need to fund this. This is a tough issue for those of us in the pro-life community. I would remind you that these stem cells are either going to be discarded or perpetually frozen. We need to do what we can to relieve human suffering. It's a tough issue. I support federal funding." (Source: 2007 GOP primary debate, at Reagan library, hosted by MSNBC May 3, 2007).
These guys know Mitt better than we do.
One wonders if Candidates Huckabee or Romney were ever beaten and held in solitary confinement for singing hymns?
