Can you find a Link or source? I’ve looked and can only find references to that 1994 debate.
I’m not responsible for Dr. Willke’s use of titles, but this account is from a 1980 interview.
MISTER Willke published it a couple of days ago, but perhaps
he is unaware that PRESIDENT Bush was eventually elected to
some minor non-medical make-work job unworthy of his notice.
OK, I’m done. Carry on.
I have never liked Dr. Wilke. While he was in charge of National Right to Life, more abortions were performed each year. Sure, they have the big rally once a year in Washington, but what have they actually done to stop abortion? His group actually promoted exceptions for rape and incest under his watch, which goes against what being pro-life is all about. If another group would stand up to them and be against exceptions, NRTL and Wilke would push against them and try to minimize them. Sometimes I actually thought he and his group were working for the other side. They may as well have for all the good they did.
I don’t believe Wilke knows what he’s talking about regarding Romney. Romney is a political opportunist and has changed his mind too many times to be taken seriously. If he had changed to pro-life at a time when it wouldn’t have been political expedient for him, I would be inclined to believe he had a real conversion. But his stands on abortion always coincided with what would do him the most good politically at the time.
At least we in the medical field have never pretended to be able to predict future elections.
It weas the 1st or 2nd debate...
I didnt know Willard Mitt romney before that and there were about 12 candidates on the stage...
I only knew about 1/2 of them...
When he was asked an abortion Q Romney answered it starting with the death of his aunt and my heart went out to him...
I felt sad for him...
But then he did a 180 on what i thought he would say next...
and i was angry at him for my wasted sympathy..
Check the early 2008 debates...
It wouldn’t be such a stretch, given the omniscience and all...
Ive looked and can only find references to that 1994 debate.

What about the 2002 debate where there was a discussion on the age of the child for parental notification ???
Willie Mitty states that if the parents wont let the underage child get an abortion then the child can get permission from a judge who will overrtuled parental authority...
Oh yes Willie Mitty is NOT and never has been pro-life...
(so much for happy families forever)
His group actually promoted exceptions for rape and incest under his watch, which goes against what being pro-life is all about.

Yes unfortunately that is true...
the very “reason” for Roe V Wade...
Yes, the timing is important. Way back then, most people hadn't thought about abortion, one way or another. They hadn't given the issue any serious consideration, or really looked into the pros and cons.
Romney, on the other hand, converted from pro-life to pro-abort while he was Governor of Massachusetts. By that time, the issue was perfectly clear, and everyone had heard the arguments from both sides.
Now he's converting back to pro-life? That might make sense if he had had a religious conversion, but there are no signs of that. He has been an LDS leader all his life, top of the heap.
The same difference applies to Ronald Reagan. When he signed off on the bill in California, he really hadn't considered the issues. But his advisers clued him in, later, and when he ran for President he HAD experienced a genuine conversion.
That seemed obvious enough to me at the time, so I gladly voted for him. But it is FAR from obvious with Mitt Romney. Somehow, he always announces these changes when it is politically convenient, although by now he is fully aware of what the issues are.
RomneyCare Covers Abortions.
Mitt & Ann Romney: Planned Parenthood Donors
Abortions now FREE under RomneyCare.
Willard is and will always be a pathological liar. Period.
Thank you for your baseless prognostication, as well as a completely unsourced opinion.
However, regardless of your unchangeable bias about Romney, Dr. Jack Willke is not a liar. Dr.William Hurlbut is not a liar.
It’s doubtful that a phoney would have used up political capital on vetoing the morning after pill and the embryonic stem cell bills, as Romney did in 2005.
Whatever you want to believe about Romney, you have to remember who Jack Willke is and what his testimony is worth, as well as the heat Romney took for vetoing the embryonic stem cell and morning after pill bills.
Those vetoes were each over-ridden by the Mass. legislature.
Shove it and your ignorant comments. I’ve known Willard 18 years. Have you ? He is a pathological liar who will say ANYTHING to get elected. He was raised in a pro-abort family, both parents, whom were infamous in their stance. Anyone who trusts anything he says as gospel is a complete fool, especially when running for the highest office.
BTW, a Gubernatorial “veto” in MA is nothing short of a worthless farce. With super-majorities of 90% Democrats in the MA legislature, ultraleft legislation will get through, period.
Had coffee with someone you consider a “pathological liar” for 18 years? Maybe that means *you* changed your mind, but won’t believe anyone else could.
I doubt Romney hangs out much in Tennessee or that you “know” him better than anyone else on FR..
Read the article about the “conversion.” Are you calling Dr. Willke a liar or “a fool?”
Romney, on the other hand, converted from pro-life to pro-abort while he was Governor of Massachusetts.

In brief, here’s Romney’s record, ending with the 4th time
for abortion so NO actions on his part to show he is for
life. Did Romney ever “act” for life?
- pro-choice in ‘94; pro-life in ‘01; choice ‘02; pro-life ‘04; choice ‘05; life in ‘06; then funded abortion in ‘06
I would call this, the record of a habitual liar.
Pray for Mitt’s conversion, Mormons are not Christian.
I'm calling anyone who believes anything the man says in the quest for the Presidency to be either #1, blindly partisan (and hence willing to overlook facts), #2, being paid off for their support, or #3, a fool.
But don't you fret none, honey, it ain't like Willke is the first person to have been hosed by a master con-artist.
Here's that ardent "pro-lifer" Willard being dragged kicking and screaming into signing off on cheap abortions and Socialist medicine. Can't you just see how heartbroken he is here ?
