Nice ellipses. You've picked out the lying wrapper that Romney's pro-choice democrat position hides under.

So let's unwrap his statements a bit:

Mitt believes that life begins at conception and wishes that the laws of our nation reflected that view.

If life begins at conception, which it does, the supreme law of the land does reflect that view, explicitly and imperatively, and without exception.

"No person shall be deprived of life without due process of law."

"No State shall deprive any person of life without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

Even Blackmun admitted as much in Roe, before he and his colleagues dehumanized the child.

"The appellee and certain amici argue that the fetus is a 'person' within the language and meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment...If this suggestion of personhood is established, the appellant's case, of course, collapses, for the fetus' right to life would then be guaranteed specifically by the Amendment." -- Justice Harry A. Blackmun, Roe vs. Wade, 1973

What Romney is referring to as "law" isn't "law" at all. It is court opinions. You see, he is a judicial supremacist. Pro-choice for judges. Denies the sacred duty of the officers of the other branches to support and defend and uphold their own oaths.

But while the nation remains so divided, he believes that the right next step is for the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade –

Judicial supremacist and de facto support for the status quo, which is abortion on demand.

a case of blatant judicial activism that took a decision that should be left to the people and placed it in the hands of unelected judges.

Pro-choice democrat denial that the right to life is God-given and therefore unalienable...ie beyond legitimate human choice.

With Roe overturned, states will be empowered through the democratic process to determine their own abortion laws and not have them dictated by judicial mandate."

Pro-choice for states. Pro-choice democrat.

Has God told you personally yet just when it is that the human spirit joins the newly conceived life? I’m sure you will be His first one to be informed, right?

If Roe v. Wade is overturned, and the right of the states to have laws against abortion is restored--which is what the situation was prior to January 22, 1973--this would be the greatest victory the pro-life movement has ever had. It would also be a victory for the Tenth Amendment and the principle of federalism.

The next step after that would be to try to pass a constitutional amendment against abortion in all states. But that would be a much, much tougher and longer and less likely thing to pull off. The first step, which realistically could be done in the foreseeable future with the right SC appointments, is to overturn Roe v. Wade. Let's start there. Baby steps (pun intended).
