There are two MAJOR problems with that:
1. He signed a healthcare plan AFTER his "conversion" which mandated taxpayer funded abortion.
2. He said that the court-ordered murder of Terri was acceptable.
It seems to me that many of these "newly converted" seem to have been well-prepared by their advisors how to handle abortion questions, but they seem dumfounded when asked about Terri. It's almost as if they think saying they oppose abortion is enough, they don't understand that being pro-life means supporting the right to life of everyone from the moment of conception through to the moment of natural death.
I welcome your two major corrections in case anyone is contemplating voting for Mitt, which I certainly wasn’t :-) Nevertheless — and despite almost all evidence — politicians are human too, and it would be nice to suppose that every once in a long while, they do something because it is right and not because it is political. In the instance, Mitt has a point that this change is anything but politically popular, so you have to wonder if he didn’t switch for good reasons.
