If our choices come down to Giuliani, Romney, or Thompson, who do pro-lifers vote for? Or, who would they consider the most pro-life of the 3? I’m talking about those who would vote on the pro-life issue alone. Not immigration, not taxes, not the war in Iraq.

Sure as hell not Rudy. So you now have a choice between Fred and Mitt. On the one hand, Fred has a 100% pro-life voting record and wants Roe V. Wade overturned, but doesn't support the right-to life amendment on Federalist grounds. On the other, Mitt has no tangible pro-life history or record (on the contrary, he was pro-choice in the past), but became pro-life as soon as he decided to run for POTUS and now supports the right-to-life amendment. Your choice.

That's not true. Romney took the pro-life position on every abortion-related issue he faced while governor.

Mitt's pro-life record as governor has been posted several times and you can see it on Freeper UnmakedPackage's homepage. You must have missed it. Please click on the link if you truly want to know.

Additionally, prominent leaders of pro-life and pro-family groups in Massachusetts wrote an open letter praising Gov. Romney for his leadership and accomplishments in this area and attesting to his commitment to pro-life and pro-family causes. This letter is a MUST READ.

Also, Massachusetts Citizens for Life recently gave Gov. Romney their 2007 Mullins Award for Outstanding Political Leadership presented at the Mother's Day Pioneer Valley Dinner where Romney delivered the keynote speech.

Massachusetts Citizens For Life Executive Director Marie Sturgis: "Having Governor Romney in the corner office for the last four years has been one of the strongest assets the pro-life movement has had in Massachusetts." (Kathryn Jean Lopez, "An Early Massachusetts Primary," National Review, 1/10/07)

Massachusetts Citizens For Life Pioneer Valley Chapter Chairman Kevin Jourdain: "Mitt Romney was a great Governor, who served with honor and distinction. But most importantly, he was a pro-life Governor. He vetoed a number of pro-abortion pieces of legislation and made many pro-life appointments. He was always there for us." (Kevin Jourdain, Remarks, Agawam, MA, 5/10/07)

_______________

So, contrary to your post, Mitt has a pro-life record AND he supports the life amendment and is willing to champion the cause to end abortion on demand.
