I've wondered about this. I'm a member of the Ohio and National Right to Life Committees and have been for many years. On August 12th, the NRLC released this statement:
WASHINGTON – Today, the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC), the federation of 50 state right-to-life affiliates and more than 3,000 local chapters, praised Governor Mitt Romney’s choice of pro-life Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan to be his running mate. National Right to Life announced its endorsement of Governor Romney in April.
How does that jibe with you calling Romney a "baby killer"? Is the NRLC an organization of "baby killers, too?
“How does that jibe with you calling Romney a “baby killer”? Is the NRLC an organization of “baby killers, too?”
It tells me that the NRLC is naive or trusting enough to take Romney at his word. He has NOT proven he has REALLY changed his stance on Abortion. Current talk is CHEAP, his past actions are more important. I don’t trust him. Also, picking Ryan to be his VP, and actually allowing Ryan to have any say in his administration is a VERY BIG ASSUMPTION. I agree with Jim Robinson that Ryan will locked in a closet as soon as Romney wins an election...if he does. When I resided in Oklahoma (now a Missouri resident), I also supported NRLC. IMO, they are somewhat easily duped. But God Bless them for the good work they have done for years....just be careful about hasty endorsements by them.
Romney switched from pro abortion to pro life about the time he first ran for president. The timing has led some to doubt his sincerity. His positions since then have been solidly pro life. He has not had any opportunities to display these positions with actual votes.
