The "story" is that Mitt (and his wife, coincidentally) both changed their minds all of a sudden when looking at the stem cell issue. Problem is, a stem cell researcher says Mitt is lying about the conversation they had when Mitt supposedly realized he was pro-life. And 6 months after supposedly realizing he was pro-life because of embryonic stem cells, Mitt was still publicly supporting government funding of embryonic stem cell research. Heck, he STILL supports some embryonic stem cell research.Not only that, but 6 months after his supposed conversion in Nov of '04, he held a May 27, '05 press conference in which he affirmed his "pro-choice" commitment.
I will say it again: I accept converts to the pro life cause. As far as I am concerned, Rudy never “converted” and was extremely pro abortion while he was mayor -and I live in NYC. He was an excellent mayor but he was much loved by NARAL. He would not even condemn partial birth abortion. He alienated me on the life issue.
