The claims being made about Brown by the irrelevant purist cliche you site are wholly in error. In additional to the position below, Brown also penned legislation in Mass to allow health care providers to opt out of providing abortion counseling if said counseling would conflict with their personal/religious beliefs.

While it is true he is not perfectly in step with your personal opinions, it is a lie to claim he is "pro-choice".

Abortion

While this decision should ultimately be made by the woman in consultation with her doctor, I believe we need to reduce the number of abortions in America. I believe government has the responsibility to regulate in this area and I support parental consent and notification requirements and I oppose partial birth abortion. I also believe there are people of good will on both sides of the issue and we ought to work together to support and promote adoption as an alternative to abortion.

Are you simply stupid, or do you just think we are?

By the way, Brown helped Romney craft and pass the RomneyCare socialized medicine scheme, complete with its $50 co-pay taxpayer-funded abortions.

Your stupid spin, which was crafted by Romney’s top-level spin doctors, may fool some of the rubes, but it won’t fool informed conservatives.

How much different is Brown's statement from this one:

Americans believe deeply in the need to keep government out of private, personal matters. That is one reason why I am pro-choice. I believe we should all work to reduce the number of abortions. That is why I have worked to reduce teen pregnancy, remove barriers to cross-racial adoption, and provide tax credits to families willing to adopt. Still, I believe the ultimate choice should remain a matter for a woman to decide in consultation with her conscience, her doctor, and her God.

And...How reduced in number will abortions be when they are available to everyone for $50.00 nor less?
