Nah. He's still a pro-choice democrat. An honest, objective analysis of his supposed "pro-life" statement on his website, to this day, proves it beyond any shadow of doubt.

He is the Father of the $50.00 government co-pay for abortion killing. I have no idea why it is written in the third person, but his "pro-life" "statement" is incoherent. Look at the parts I have bolded:

Mitt Romney is pro-life. He believes it speaks well of the country that almost all Americans recognize that abortion is a problem. And in the quiet of conscience, people of both political parties know that more than a million abortions a year cannot be squared with the good heart of America.

Mitt believes that life begins at conception and wishes that the laws of our nation reflected that view. But while the nation remains so divided, he believes that the right next step is for the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade – 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. 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.

Mitt supports the Hyde Amendment, which broadly bars the use of federal funds for abortions. As president, he will end federal funding for abortion advocates like Planned Parenthood. He will protect the right of health care workers to follow their conscience in their work. And he will nominate judges who know the difference between personal opinion and the law.

Because the good heart of America knows no boundaries, a commitment to protecting life should not stop at the water’s edge. Taking innocent life is always wrong and always tragic, wherever it happens. The compassionate instincts of this country should not be silent in the face of injustices like China’s One-Child policy. No one will ever hear a President Romney or his vice president tell the Chinese government that "I fully understand" and won’t “second guess” compulsory sterilization and forced abortion.

Americans have a moral duty to uphold the sanctity of life and protect the weakest, most vulnerable and most innocent among us. As president, Mitt will ensure that American laws reflect America’s values of preserving life at home and abroad.
[emphasis mine]

His "wishing" does not constitute obedience to "a moral duty to uphold the sanctity of life and protect the weakest, most vulnerable and most innocent among us." Nor is accepting that if people in various states want to vote for it they thereby have some imaginary "right" to kill the innocent.

Cordially,

Yep.

Some key points from the text you posted:

1. Romney remains what he has been his entire political life: an anti-constitution, anti-republican. This is shown by his consistent belief that courts make law. He is, and always has been, a judicial supremacist.

2. His default position because of the above is the status quo, ie abortion on demand.

3. He does not believe in the self-evident truth of the founding, which is that our rights come from God, not from any man, and that they are therefore unalienable. This is shown by his immoral, un-American belief that our most important unalienable right can be decided by a democratic vote. He is therefore, by definition, a pro-choice democrat.

4. His pro-choice for states position is a Stephen A. Douglas Democrat position.

Mitt Romney is telling a Big Lie when he says he is pro-life.
