This is the new phase in the media against Romney, just like clockwork.
Misleading headline of the year.
“There’s no legislation with regards to abortion that I’m familiar with that would become part of my agenda,” does not equal “Romney says won’t pursue new abortion laws”
vs.
President Barack Obama's campaign sharply criticized the Republican, saying he had previously pledged to appoint Supreme Court justices who would overturn Roe v. Wade.
==========================
I see no contradiction here.
There is no legislation that is out there at this time.
The Republicans want a Human life ammendment to the constitution, but one is not written and not in line to be voted on. It is very difficult to change the Constitution.
It is much easier to change the SCOTUS.
This is just a fact. At this point there is no bills pertaining to abortion that would be voted much less signed by Romney as president.
“There’s no legislation with regards to abortion that I’m familiar with that would become part of my agenda,”
That’s how I want it, because you aren’t familiar with this issue. Leave abortion legislation to our experts in Congress. No need to get into the weeds on that one. Just focus of fixing the economy, we’ll handle the rest, including ending the money pipeline to Planned Parenthood.
Of course notice this same media has still not made a point about Obama adding, for the very 1st time, a Taxpayer funded abortion on demand up to birth plank to the 2012 Democrat party platform.
The only radical on Abortion in this election is 0bama, a fact very carefully covered up by the Mass Media
Romney is pro abortion. Or, at the very least, not willing to challenge the law that legalizes the killing of babies.
This means nothing, so nobody should freak out and have a cow.
What we NEED to change this issue is a new Supreme Court, and he has pledged a conservative court.
There is no pending legislation in any event that would come before his desk so his comment is EXACTLY accurate.
He doesn’t have to. There isn’t much for the government “to pursue” given that Roe is still on the books. All a President Romney needs to do is appoint more Scalia’s and Thomases to the Supreme Court. That’s where abortion laws are decided.
He has been a faithful supporter of abortion since he was 11, I think that was his own statement
If Romney does anything regarding changing of abortion law it will be liberalization in line with UN directives.
He’d have his hands full with the economy, Iran, etc. The states will pursue this issue. Romney’s main role woud be to appoint the right kind of judges
(and that’s where the people and Congress would have to hold his feet to the fire).
Let’s just hope he holds firm on appointing pro-life Supreme Court justices. That’s the real abortion related issue at stake.
This article feels like a distraction.
Sice Romney has grabbed the poll lead and he is going to win the election, get ready for the distractions from the haters and the Obama boot lickers.
Wow. That’s totally not what he said at all.
Media making stuff up as they go.
Not his job, Its the states. They tried this before.
