Mitt Romney’s recent statements on abortion have brought that divisive issue back into the spotlight in the last 48 hours.
In an interview with the Des Moines Register, Romney said there was “no legislation with regards to abortion that I’m familiar with that would become part of my agenda.”
Here’s a link to the Register’s recording of the interview.
It’s worth a listen. In this interview, Romney himself introduces the subject and takes pains to refute what he says is the false charge that he opposes all abortions, including in cases of rape, incest and risk to the life of the mother. Romney says he does NOT oppose abortion in those circumstances.
When that remark was interpreted as a shift, on Romney’s part, toward a more moderate position on the pro-life/pro-choice spectrum, he and his campaign people moved quickly to reaffirm the GOP Presidential candidate’s pro-life credentials.
“Soon after his remarks were posted online Tuesday, a Romney spokeswoman told the Associated Press, “Mitt Romney is proudly pro-life, and he will be a pro-life president,” the Los Angeles Times reported. “Gov. Romney would of course support legislation aimed at providing greater protections for life,” spokeswoman Andrea Saul said.

Yay, I’m glad you’re back BB, I’ve always enjoyed your humor and insight!
“…If you had money to invest, Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway would be an excellent choice. If you wanted to invest in an electronics company or if you wanted to purchase an electronic product, Apple would be a good bet thanks to the fine work of Steve Jobs and the team of dedicated individuals that he assembled. Why? It’s because they are winners, and they have a stunning record of accomplishment that has stood the test of time. That’s no guarantee of future success, but it’s the best information that you have to go on.
As a nation, we have a political choice to make. Two candidates are vying for the presidency. One of them has a remarkable record, and the other one’s record in office has been pathetic. Logic and common sense will lead thinking people to vote for Mitt Romney for president in November.”

Who in their right (or left) mind thinks that presidents decide the issue, anyway? Fabrication of the R&R “war on women” is pure political theater. It’s pathetic that so many good people fall for it. I want gender neutral and race neutral government – pleeze!!
