How many years? About the same amount of years as all the rest of his new conservative ideas, about three or four, in other words just what everyone says, it was time to adopt a new persona for a new electorate base.
In 2005 58 year old Mitt Romney made the claim that he had an epiphany in a conversation with a scientist, a conversation that the scientist says didn't happen, that turned him from pro abortion to pro life, just in time for the beginning campaign for the 2008 primary.
Thats a lie. He realized he was wrong and has been pro-life for years. [NYC Republican]
On January 29, 2007 during a visit to South Carolina, Romney stated: Over the last multiple years, as you know, I have been effectively pro-choice." (Bruce Smith, "Romney Campaigns in SC with Sen. DeMint," The Associated Press, 1/29/07)
Ya wanna explain, NYC Republican how the above statement reconciles with your contention that Romney's "been pro-life for years?" (What? Are you going to try to get by with a "technicality" by claiming, "Well, isn't two years a plural?")
But where was he on the sanctity of life just 18 months ago? Look, for example, within two sentences on Dec. 5, 2007. He told Katie Couric:
(a) embryos could be adopted; and then
(b) in the very next sentence, he suggested a "parent" could also "donate" Johnny, Jr. or Plain Jane to "research" for dissection purposes, which he said was "acceptable."
(So much for this very matter--embryonic stem cell issue--being the "heart" of his "pro-life conversion.")
If somone claims that Romney made a "second" pro-life altar call after his guv role was over -- given his Jan '07 statement that Over the last multiple years, as you know, I have been effectively pro-choice," could you please explain how that could be reconciled with his other claim around that same time? (The claim that "every action I've taken as the governor that relates to the sanctity of human life...") How could BOTH statements be true?
