They’re just reflecting the reality of the situation. I don’t believe Newt can garner the votes needed, and apparently neither does the Committee.
We don’t know what’s going to happen with certainty yet as the days/months roll on, do we. And what’s that got to do with it anyway? This is allegedly a pro life organization endorsing someone who’s amply demonstrated he’s NOT a trustworthy pro lifer.

However, when I was looking around for more information on the issue, I found this Politifact piece from last cycle which had a different take:
The Thompson campaign, which has been playing up the former U.S. senator’s antiabortion stances, sent out this e-mail in November 2007:
“So what sort of services does Romney’s health care plan provide? Per the state Web site: $50 co-pay for abortions.
“While court mandate requires Massachusetts to cover ‘medically necessary’ abortions in state-subsidized health plans, Mitt Romney’s plan covers ALL abortions — no restrictions.”
And it’s true.
…
Romney’s campaign counters that the decision about what services to cover was ultimately left up to the independent Commonwealth Care Authority.
But Romney was well-represented: Of the six policy-making members of the authority’s 10-member board, half are appointed by the governor, and half by the state attorney general. Half of the ex-officio members also are appointed by the governor, including the chairman — the governor’s secretary of administration and finance — and the state insurance commission.
Although Romney shares responsiblity with the state legislature and the program’s board, Commonwealth Care was his pet project, and he takes credit for it. We find Thompson’s claims true.
Flip flopper at very best is the accurate appraisal of MR. How proud must he feel that Obama celebrated the 6 yr anniversary of Romneycare this week.

As they say, watch what they do, NOT what they say.
It’s NOT over, ‘til it’s over.
