You seem determined to ignore my point, which is that Mitt Romney was the most passionate and convincing spokesman for abortion of all the governors.”

Romney marketed abortion to the general public of all ages by personalizing it and passionately making it about his family, and his family values and doing that at the most widely viewed forums available, I have never seen a republican so dedicated and personally involved in that kind of abortion salesmanship.

Nothing breaks down people’s resistance to an idea, like a really good, sincere, committed, salesman.

If you think Massachusetts needed Mitt Romney to turn it pro-abortion you are living in an alternative universe.

Romney did change his position on abortion, but he didn't induce anyone to be more pro-abortion than they were before. In recent years he may have influenced people in the other direction.

What are you talking about anyway? Romney was no more of a "salesman" for abortion than any other politician. During the 1994 campaign he lost to Ted Kennedy Mitt did mention a family friend who died from an illegal abortion. Is that it? That didn't sell anyone on abortion, though it did clarify why he held the view he did at the time.

Look, it's an imperfect world, and Romney's an imperfect person. It doesn't mean his the worst person in the world. Whatever politician you like or admire or agree with, keep watching. You'll find things to disagree with and disapprove of soon enough.
