Why make a stupid sarcastic post that means nothing?

Romney has pledged a pro-life agenda. If you choose to doubt him, I guess you can.

Obama has pledged a pro-abortion agenda... don’t doubt him.

Why would you favor Obama over someone who says this:

My Pro-Life Pledge

By Mitt Romney
June 18, 2011 12:50 P.M. I am pro-life and believe that abortion should be limited to only instances of rape, incest, or to save the life of the mother.

I support the reversal of Roe v. Wade, because it is bad law and bad medicine. Roe was a misguided ruling that was a result of a small group of activist federal judges legislating from the bench.

I support the Hyde Amendment, which broadly bars the use of federal funds for abortions. And as president, I will support efforts to prohibit federal funding for any organization like Planned Parenthood, which primarily performs abortions or offers abortion-related services.

I will reinstate the Mexico City Policy to ensure that nongovernmental organizations that receive funding from America refrain from performing or promoting abortion services, as a method of family planning, in other countries. This includes ending American funding for any United Nations or other foreign assistance program that promotes or performs abortions on women around the world.

I will advocate for and support a Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act to protect unborn children who are capable of feeling pain from abortion.

And perhaps most importantly, I will only appoint judges who adhere to the Constitution and the laws as they are written, not as they want them to be written.

As much as I share the goals of the Susan B. Anthony List, its well-meaning pledge is overly broad and would have unintended consequences. That is why I could not sign it. It is one thing to end federal funding for an organization like Planned Parenthood; it is entirely another to end all federal funding for thousands of hospitals across America. That is precisely what the pledge would demand and require of a president who signed it.

The pledge also unduly burdens a president’s ability to appoint the most qualified individuals to a broad array of key positions in the federal government. I would expect every one of my appointees to carry out my policies on abortion and every other issue, irrespective of their personal views.

If I have the opportunity to serve as our nation’s next president, I commit to doing everything in my power to cultivate, promote, and support a culture of life in America.

In post 84, you warned against “posting a lot of crap about stuff he supposedly said or did.”

Then, as soon as I agreed with you that we can’t rely upon anything Romney has said or done, you post a lot of crap about what he’s most recently said. He’s made it very clear in the past that he’s pro-abortion. He’s made it very clear in the past that he pushes a pro-homosexual agenda. He probably sees that agenda as a stalking horse for the polygamy agenda of his “church.”

I think we should stick to having just one First Lady at a time. And, I think all of our future First Ladies (remember, just one at a time), should be over 18 years old.
