That is not what the Catholic groups were saying in 2005 until he became the presumptive nominee.

“The initial injury to Catholic religious freedom came not from the Obama administration but from the Romney administration,’’ said C.J. Doyle, executive director of the Catholic Action League of Massachusetts. “President Obama’s plan certainly constitutes an assault on the constitutional rights of Catholics, but I’m not sure Governor Romney is in a position to assert that, given his own very mixed record on this.’’


Romney had publicly claimed the bill did not apply to private religious hospitals
On December 7, 2005, Romney’s Department of Public Health said that Catholic and other privately-run hospitals could opt out of giving the morning-after pill to rape victims because of religious or moral objections
On December 8, 2005 Romney reversed the legal opinion of his own State Department of Public Health, instructing all Catholic hospitals and others to provide the chemical Plan B “morning after pill” to rape victims. He was quoted as saying, ““I think, in my personal view, it’s the right thing for hospitals to provide information and access to emergency contraception to anyone who is a victim of rape.”


Now that it is inconvenient, his story changes (again). Does this mean I think you should not vote for him? That is your decision. I simply bring up his past so that people will realize that while he is more than likely better, we are headed to real disappointment if we believe he will take any “hard” stands.

Thank you for the clarity on the misleading charity of Ruse Romney of Massachusetts toward the cornering of the Catholic Church in Massachusetts.

This was my understanding from said sources, but I failed to have them at hand. I know the truth on Romney and how desperation and fear causes spinning his record to get completely out of hand.

The proof is in his scalded dog reaction to the same intimidation tactics against Chick fil A that were used against the Church. There are the fearful and wobbly right in there seen defending that! Outrageous!

I believe Romney is better than Obama for our national survival.
He wasn’t my pick..but he has my vote nevertheless.
We may even be able to convince Romney to edge right on some issues..I don’t see swaying Obama .
I believe Obama is a Marxist and does not value America.
I believe he is trying to destroy it. He is on his way to doing so.
I am passionate about getting Obama and his administration OUT.
