Romney is not actively supporting abortion. This makes your whole argument very odd. It's difficult to discuss things with people who don't deal with current facts.
“Romney is not actively supporting abortion,”
~ ~ ~
This is the catch, the excuse!!!! ...not actively...
Wake up dear friend. Romney has never legislated for life,
show me one action on his part for life?
Voting for Mitt, you are supporting his actions.
Shall I say, Romneycare? Shall we discuss it’s similarity to a certain on-the-books-about-to-be-reviewed law which, like Romneycare, supports abortion? I deal in facts. I just looked here: http://www.mittromney.com/issues/health-care. Mitt’s arguments against obamacare revolve exclusively around money, control, and replacing the federal plan with state-chosen plans, still termed “health reform.” In no way, anywhere, does the website for Willard for President 2012 repudiate his previous much-vaunted support for in-utero baby murder.
I deal with current facts. One of them appears to be that you favor Willard, and another is that we disagree strenuously about the fact that a Catholic may not vote for any candidate for public office who in any way supports abortion, without committing a mortal sin.
Catholics hold life to be very precious. Abortion is murder in all cases where it is performed. No matter the circumstances of conception, the baby still dies.
Here’s a statement of Willard’s from a Piers Morgan interview,. in response to a question on whether Willard views homosexuality as sinful: “Romney : I separate quite distinctly matters of personal faith from the leadership that one has in a political sense.”
If you are in favor of voting for him, you have the ability to do so. If you are Catholic, I would very strongly urge you to discuss the matter with your priest. Willard has done and said enough to cast strong doubt on his being anything but an opportunist without a moral compass. Catholics may not vote for him without committing mortal sin. Or does allowing abortion in cases of incest, rape, and hypothetical cases to save the life of the mother NOT kill the baby?
Also, Romney believes states should be able to have their own abortion laws, which implicitly adds that he believes in abortion, or else why allow a patchwork of state laws? That’s a canard, thrown to be able to claims that he’s “pro-life” while feeding those who are pro-abortion.
I have a theory. Some people hate Mitt Romney soooo much that IF becomes President,
declares abortion to be forbidden by executive order,
sent the FBI out to round up all abortionists and the top dogs of all 50 Planned Parenthood state organizations,
have them publicly beheaded,
and puts their heads on pikes in the capitals of the states as a warning to any future abortionists....
there would STILL be people on this board who would say:
“He didn’t do enough.”
Note to any bed-wetters who think I am proposing the above action as a solution to abortion: TRY AND REALIZE THIS IS EXAGERRATION TO MAKE A POINT. I AM NOT PROPOSING THIS AS A SOLUTION.
