Regardless, Romney's position on abortion has no effect on who gets an abortion anyway since it is legal and there is nothing he can do about and nothing you can do about it.
What are you doing about abortion? Since elections are meaningless as to abortion law, what are you doing about it other than voting?
Romney does not support the party platform? What's new about that? I don't think anyone older than 12 thinks the platform means anything. The president and other politicians always support the positions they want to regardless of the platform. This has always occurred. The difference is that in the past, the presidential nominee used to pretend he agreed with the platform and in the last 20 years that has changed where the presidential nominee of both parties now come right out and say those things they agree with and those issues they don't agree with. Nobody blinks an eye since it doesn't really matter.
No one votes for the platform; voters vote for a person - a candidate. Personally, conventions at this point are meaningless. I think in the future, conventions will disappear because of the amount of money it costs and the nominee will be elected remotely by delegates or by mail, etc. There will still be nominating speeches, perhaps in a studio broadcast nationwide or with some state capitol as a backdrop.
I realize you are a one issue voter and there is nothing wrong with that, but don't make the mistake of making your issue over all other issues, because it isn't - at least not this time.
I do believe that abortion is one of the great issues of our time, but I am also a realist, that at the moment, no president can do anything about the issue.
I do know this: if Obama gets reelected, abortions will not be reduced. Obama is, after all, on record of supporting infanticide.
If Romney wins, there is a better possibility, he will appoint judges kinder to your position.
This isn’t lying, it is called “quoting”.
PELLEY: Well, the platform as written at this convention for the Republicans does not allow for exceptions on abortion with regard to the health of the mother or rape or incest. Is that where you are?
ROMNEY: “No. My position has been clear throughout this campaign. I’m in favor of abortion being legal in the case of rape and incest, and the health and life of the mother.”
As a romneybot, you cannot honestly pretend that this bothers you, or surprises you, Romney’s supporters have known that this was part of the bargain they were making, all along.
