MIAMI, FLORIDA – Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney scheduled a $50,000-a-plate fundraiser at the home of Phil Frost, the executive of the company that makes the Morning After Pill, on Wednesday night. Plan B One-Step is produced by Teva Pharmaceuticals, Frost’s company.
I'm with you on that one. For someone who claims to be a Christian, its posting style and general demeanor towards others is suspect, at best.
IBTZ!
What are you smoking?
In the world of law, circumstantial evidence is enough to convict. Therefore, in the case of Romney, I believe his deeds rather than his words, and reluctantly answer "no".
There are those who have chosen to surrender to the Romney wing of the Republican Party in the belief that they will be better able to fight another day. This is their choice; I cannot dissuade them. Some of them reflect their candidate in resorting to the personal in their criticisms as 'battered spouse' conservatives who believe that, if they just wish hard enough, the national party will come to its senses and stop beating them.
There are those of us who have quite simply had enough abuse by their national party. It's an unfortunate thing to say, but I believe that this election cycle has placed Libertarians (the Paul wing) closer to controlling the Republican Party than conservatives.
The moderate elites, who still maintain their control against all comers, are laughing their heads off. And giving us Romney.
NO.
RomneyCare, as originally enacted by Romney and the Massachusetts legislature, had Planned Barrenhood (oh but they also do pap smears and other stuff) statutorily on the Romneycare board of directors, provided for $50 maximum fees for abortion on demand, regardless of homicidal excuse. That was enacted a full year after serial pathological liar Romney CLAIMS to have become "pro-life." His successor Coupe Deval has cut the fee by $50 to, ummm, ZERO.
I am a diabetic too. Thanks for the info. My primary care physician is a member of the Catholic Medical Association locally. When they say Catholic, they REALLY mean it. I will bet that there will be a lot less glimepride being sold here in NW Illinois. Other Catholics should spread the boycott elsewhere. Teva delenda est.
Obozo is certainly pro-abortion. So is Myth Romney. Note that when Myth calls himself "pro-life" his lips move. We all know what that means.
Each and every Romneycare Massachusetts babykilling is now cheaper than the 1 day's single 81mg aspirin that I and many take each day. Boy, you can REALLY trust Myth with the babies. Maybe he'll choose Kate Michelman of NARAL as his running mate. She is a militant Michigan pro-abort just like Myth.
Then we can discuss Myth's enthusiasm for other abominations as well.
Tom Hoefling (Eternal Vigilance) for POTUS! He'll not abide the slaughter of a single baby.
I agree. I mean, do we really want people on the bench that believe Joseph Smith was a prophet of God when history clearly shows him to be a con man and a philanderer.
80% of fertilized eggs/embryos fail to implant naturally (without the mother ever knowing) What exactly is the point of God killing so many “persons” that way?
In your dreams. I have college aged kids and they and their friends recognize that a human being is a human being from the moment of conception.
The tide IS turning, especially with the scientific evidence to support it.
FR is a pro-God, pro-life site, you know......
Your attempts at charging God with murder fail and only reveal the poverty of your own soul.
I see him campaigning to overturn Roe v. Wade, which would enable the states to outlaw abortions in their state. That is the only realistic option I see in the foreseeable future, and it is the right next step to take. And it would be more--far more--than anything else we're been able to accomplish in the last 40 years.
Again, if you've got a better idea to get any laws against abortion anywhere, I'd like to hear it.
I think the answer to your question goes back to the quote in italics. :) He can’t help himself...he panders to one and all of his listeners. I don’t think there IS any “deep down” to this man.
He reminds me of a mannequin....all hair and smile and no life of his own. Just takes on the aura of what is put on him, as it were.
Frankly, he creeps me out.
obama scares the hell out of me.
Has He told YOU?
Why is *at the moment of conception* not acceptable?
The only reason that I've ever run across for someone to question when life begins and argue that it's not at the moment of conception, is for the purpose or either abortion or embryonic research.
After all, if it's not a person, it's not murder to destroy it.
But how can a living organism with the full complement of human DNA, which is growing though cell division, not be considered a living human being?
It's growing, therefore it's alive.
It's genetic make up is human as a result of the union of a human sperm and human egg, therefore it's human.
Destroying that life is murder, by definition.
And that's enough to get me to vote for Romney. ;^) I'll take some chance over no chance.
Ummmm, I hate to burst your bubble but Romneycare REQUIRES all conservative churches and their institutions to fund abortion and birth control and sterilization, all of which are forbidden by the Catholic Church as mortal sins (the kind that send you straight to hell if unrepented at death). While doctrines may have nuanced differences, I would bet that Southern Baptists and Missouri Synod Lutherans and Wisconsin Evangelical Synod Lutherans and Evangelical Free Church and a whole lot of Reformed churches agree on abortion as utterly sinful. Romney is as bad as Obozo.
I am truly sick. and. tired. of the manipulations from the elites. :\
Well, setting aside the fact that Romney’s Romneycare grants people the right to abortion at government expense and even setting aside the fact that Romney has long been pro-abortion in both word and deed, . . .
Has Romney at least been willing to state that he will not appoint to the court anyone who is unwilling to clearly commit himself to vote as a justice to overturn Roe v. Wade?
I’m just darn ready to put my foot down and say no MORE “lesser of the two evils”!
We (in the general sense) have sacrificed every shred of self respect to fear and “second best” and safe.
Once you realize that Romney is an enthusiastic baby-killer, is Obozo STILL the only enemy on YOUR list?
I wonder how many atheists are on FreeRepublic.
“The GOP-nc(no choicer’s) are being rode hard and will be put away wet.”
Without even a kiss. Assuming one is desired.
GRRrrrrr! I need to change my tagline AGAIN! It is for all of you out there who are in real pain in contorting yourselves to vote for Willard against your own conscience, hoping he may prove to be less leftist as POTUS than as governor.
If you don't mind, I'll take a stab at that question.
In the broad, practical picture of real politics, the deck is currently stacked against us. All legal avenues to prohibit abortion at the federal level are practically closed off. The same is true at (most) state levels.
To open these legal avenues, a new mindset is needed. I'm talking about the electorate. We need a substantial majority of the voting public to agree that abortion is murder, the Consitution means what it says, and that life must be protected at all levels of government.
So how do we go about accomplishing this objective?
In my humble opinion, it's by one person at a time. That may sound like empty rhetoric, but here is what I mean: I have one vote this election cycle. Yet I have sway with my wife and my grown children. There are many ways I can emply my sway, but I've determined the best way to do so is by example. In other words, I truly believe that the best way to influence your family and loved ones is by example. Leadership begins by example.
Thus, when I explain to my family why the issue of life is so important to me -- and why I can't vote for the duplicitous Romney -- they understand implicitly. If I were to compromise or collaborate on this issue, I truly believe that I would diminish my role as a husband and father (and grandfather). I would still be leading by example, but my example would be that compromise, collaboration, and expediency trump principle. I can't do it. I've failed too many times morally on a huge number of issues. I don't want to fail anymore. I won't compromise anymore. I will lead by example. If others follow me or not, I can't control that.
But I will *try* to lead by example.
And now to alleviate this serious moment, here's a humorous thought: What if all of us did the same?
It is posters like you that is dragging this site down. You have got to be a liberal troll.
Congratulations on a magnificent post. What some so-called ABOs fail to understand is that there are other "As" than Romney. If we as conservatives supported one, we'd make a difference.
In other words, if we stopped laughing and started voting and advocating, what would happen?
