Mitt Romney says, "I am prolife" in a Boston Globe editorial where he explains why he vetoed a bill on the morning-after-pill.
For all the conflicting views on this issue, it speaks well of our country that we recognize abortion as a problem. The law may call it a right, but no one ever called it a good, and, in the quiet of conscience people of both political parties know that more than a million abortions a year cannot be squared with the good heart of America.

Whoa whoa whoa...
ReplyDeleteFirst he says that abortion laws are best left to states to create yet then he vows not to impose any restrictions sent to him by the elected representatives of his state. He's basically NOTHING- trying to be prolife in word but not in deed.
I am grateful that he thwarted the morning-after pill, but pro-life people do all in their power to protect life and do not say that children caused by rape or incest are disposable. They impose restrictions when possible and they don't put political or ideological precedent above the lives of the vulnerable.
This man is a politician- and a dumb one at that.

Jacque,
ReplyDeleteWhile I agree that Romney might not be what I would consider a 100% prolifer, he still has done some admirable things even if those acts are designed to reach out to the prolife community.
I think at first he said he wouldn't change the laws of his state (back when he ran for governor) and now he's saying that state's should decide abortion laws.
The Massachusetts legislature is so pro-choice (both this legislation and the cloning measure have veto-proof majorities) that there is no chance that Romney would have ever had the chance to sign a prolife law.
