Santorum was also for abortion a few years back...You can hardly condemn Romney for something that you should rightly also condemn Santorum for, but give a free pass to Santorum on the interim.

You are simply a liar. Santorum's "pro-abortion" dalliance was in 1996. Since then he as done more than any politician alive to advance the cause of Life.

What has your guy Romney done? Answer? Nothing. Why? Because he's not pro-life and never has been.

And yes, I'm saying "your guy Romney" because it's patently obvious by now that you've been a Romneybot from day one. Your "rah, rah Newt" stuff was nothing but a cover.

NOTE: Read this article if you dare, Santorum was into it more than you care to admit;http://thenewamerican.com/usnews/politics/10549-santorum-voted-to-subsidize-abortion-planned-parenthood

As far as Romney changing his position, This from a recent article on the subject;

Although pro-life advocates are normally jubilant over abortion advocates converting to the pro-life position, Romney’s shift is seen by some pro-life advocates as political in nature — occurring around the time he started moving nationally towards a presidential run.

Depending on whether pro-life voters accept the change in position or see it skeptically, Romney has either remained committed to his pro-life views or has used the issue to get in good stead with pro-life voters.

Following the shift, Romney did veto the pro-embryonic research bill but skeptics say the legislature had the votes to override it and ultimately did so. Skeptics also point out that his state-run health care plan provides for taxpayer funded abortions, but those who say Romney is now genuinely pro-life point out that a state Supreme Court decision forced their inclusion over anyone’s objections.

Romney spoke to pro-life advocates over the weekend at the Faith and Freedom Conference in Washington, D.C, and told the values voters in attendance that, “We’re united in our belief in the sanctity of human life.” The question will be whether voters in places like Iowa and South Carolina believe him.
