Romney in 2002 was clearly PRO-CHOICE
Now he is PRO-LIFE
Does Romney flip flop just to appease the situation at hand? Which is it, Pro-choice or Anti-abortion?
He didn't flip-flop. The flip-flopping originated with the Obama campaign twisting what he said about "outlawing" all abortions.

An Obama campaign ad TWISTS Mitt Romney’s stance on abortion, claiming Romney “backed a law that outlaws all abortions, even in cases of rape and incest.”
During a 2007 debate, Romney was asked if he would sign legislation to ban “all abortion” — assuming, hypothetically, that Roe v. Wade had been overturned. He said he’d be “delighted to sign it,” if there was a national consensus for it. But, he said, “that’s not where America is today.” Meanwhile, Romney made clear — both before and after that debate — that his fuller position was that he opposes abortion except in cases of rape, incest or to save the life of the mother.
The ad goes too far, however, with its claim that “Romney backed a law that outlaws all abortions, even in cases of rape and incest.”
But his position opposing abortion — including the exceptions he makes in the case of rape, incest or to save the life of the mother — has remained consistent during both his 2008 and 2012 runs for pre...

Remember, you're listening to Obama campaign ads and not Romney's words, other than those that they want to put into his mouth. Disappointing, isn't it?
And after he does . . . Only then will we know his true agenda.
I'm guessing he'll strip down to his magic underwear and cavort around the White House with his finger on the nuclear button . . . just daring Putin or anybody else to make fun of him.
1) I believe abortion, while necessary in some cases, is one of the most barbaric acts ever contrived by the darkest hearts of humanity.
2) EQUAL to my revulsion to abortion is my revulsion to government meddling in a woman's decisions as to what to do with HER body.
A mother if done right can have more children but a fetus can't so it make sense when certain conditions apply this has to be done. I do not every condone abortion as a means of birth control and only see it as the last alternative when a woman has to make a decision.
Woman who truly alone with no family support or other means and can not care for it can decide for adoption in many cases a couple who can't have children will make good parents.
But ultimately it is HER choice and not Mitt's or any other politicians to make and not even OURS. This is the US of A the land of the free and the rights to choose.
Which one gets him elected?
Legitimate, in one of its many usages can mean, " Being in compliance with the law; lawful: a legitimate business" It can also mean, " Authentic; genuine: a legitimate complaint". "Authentic" is the sense in which Akin (as he explained) meant it. He wasn't saying that there is such a thing as a "legal" rape ( a totally illogical and inconsistent phrase). He was saying that if the "claim" to rape is not legitimate neither is the necessity for abortion to be considered. A "claim" of "forcible" rape doesn't mean that it was actually a "rape". i.e. pregnant - husband/boyfriend left me - need to make claim of rape to get abortion OR Oops - one night stand - pregnant - need to make claim of rape to get abortion OR got drunk - pregnant - need to make claim of rape to get abortion OR uh oh - pregnant - don't want a kid - need to make claim of rape to get abortion. Thus, there was never a "legitimate" claim to a rape having been committed. It's an excuse used to be able to easily get an abortion. Akin explained these things but, as with the Rodney King and Trayvon Martin tapes, the facts end up on the editing room floor. Even so, on the face of it, one should be able to think a little more abstractly and get an understanding of what he was "meaning" rather then what he was "saying".
If you, indeed, didn't read the whole thing, then you ARE an Obama voter because I've found all of them to be misinformed about taxation and it's affect on business, ObamaCare, insurance exchanges, etcetera.
Good evening.

{Bill, All I needed to read of your comment was the first 4 sentences.}
That tells me that you are ill informed and don't like to have to grapple with information to which you can't respond.
I get that a lot from liberals: TL;DR. Well, they CAN'T respond and therefore take the easy way out.
Now, if you will excuse me..................
{That is my non- anything from any side, advise for you. Bill.}
No space after "non-".
No comma after "side".
It's "adviCe" (noun), not "adviSe" (verb)
A comma should follow "you", not a period.
Perhaps it should read something such as this:
OMG! Get over yourself. This is my politically non-aligned advice to you, Bill.
There. That's better. Not only is it less offensive to the eyes, it has clarity to it. It's a wonder that you can't respond to my points with a mind such as yours.
Bye and Good evening
I could edit your crap too............. Yet, you couldn't pay me enough..............
Good Day to You,
Shantay, " Wouldn't you like to know?"
I find this a logical position
Who cares.
Right now it's the economy and all that ignoramus Obama worries about is how much taxes Romney has paid.
Is Obama stupid or just insane.
