Romney Throws Babies Under the Bus...Again
Mitt flips, flops, then flips back again (ABC News).Mitt Romney was pro-abortion when running for the senate against Ted Kennedy, as well as when he was running for Governor of Massachusetts.
Then, right around the time he decided to run for president last year, he suddenly had an "epiphany" while studying the stem cell issue. Suddenly, Romney became convinced that human life must be respected and cherished at all stages (strangely, the beautiful faces of his own children were not enough to spawn such emotion -- it took a few cells in a cold petri dish).
But today he took a HUGE step backwards, saying he believes states should be allowed to choose whether they will allow abortion.
This a major blow to pro-life supporters, who care little about where abortions occur. Pro-lifers are pro-lifers no matter where they live and we believe abortion is morally and ethically wrong EVERYWHERE.
Some think this is Romney's attempt to peel moderates away from Rudy Guiliani. If so, he's thrown babies under the bus (again) for the sake of his own ambitions.
If you are looking for a true, pro-life conservative who has NEVER wavered from his position, look no further than Mike Huckabee.
UPDATE: Here's what Romney's team has to say in response to criticism of his flip-flop-flipping on abortion. "We should aspire to passing a Human Life Amendment when the country as a whole is prepared for it," Romney spokesman Kevin Madden told ABC News. "The American people just aren't there yet."
Folks, that not leading. That's following. We need a leader in the White House.
