Romney vows to be 'a pro-life president' after newspaper interview

 

Mitt Romney vowed he would govern as a "pro-life president" after telling an Iowa newspaper on Tuesday that he wouldn't seek legislation affecting access to abortion.

The Republican presidential nominee, speaking to reporters during a stop Wednesday afternoon in Ohio, said he would act immediately as president to eliminate funding for Planned Parenthood and reinstate the so-called "Mexico City Policy," which prohibits the use of federal funds for promoting of performing abortions abroad.

Slideshow: On the campaign trail

The latest national poll suggests GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney has gained ground with women voters, something his campaign is hoping to build on. NBC's Peter Alexander reports.

"I think I've said time and again. I'm a pro-life candidate. I'll be a pro-life president," Romney said. "The actions I'll take immediately are to remove funding for Planned Parenthood. It will not be part of my budget. And also I've indicated I'll reverse the Mexico City position of the president. I will reinstate the Mexico City policy."

RELATED: Obama team says Romney 'trying to cover up' views on abortion

Romney told the editorial board of the Des Moines Register that he has "no legislation with regards to abortion that I’m familiar with that would become part of my agenda."

His campaign subsequently said Romney would "of course support legislation aimed at providing greater protections for life," prompting the Obama campaign to pounce, and accuse their Republican opponent of obfuscating his true position on abortion rights.

"We're not saying that he's changed his mind on these issues, we're saying he's trying to cover up his beliefs," Obama campaign deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter said in a Wednesday conference call.

My GOD this person Willard Romney just can't take a position and stick with it.

That man lies so much, it's hard to imagine anyone voting for him and dismissing all of his repeated lies on every position. It sure bothers me and millions others, that this man a talking lying buffoon, is fooling so many.

Mr. President, please kick this Willard POS in the balls for us the people.

Must be a subscriber of the Humpty Dumpty rule: "A word means only what I mean it to mean, nothing more, nothing less."

That being said, a couple of quotes from author Philip K. Dick come to mind:

"Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away."

"The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use the words."

Who is controlling Mr. Romney's words and actions....?

Watch it...


Ryan before. And the duo are clones. They are one and the same. This is the man that Mitt Romney chose as his running mate:

Ryan co-sponsored a “personhood” amendment that would give legal rights to a fetus starting at conception.

Ryan supports banning all abortions, even in cases of rape and incest.

Ryan voted to ban abortion coverage from being included in the state health insurance exchanges.

Ryan compared Roe v. Wade to the Dred Scott Supreme Court decision.

Ryan has supported defunding Planned Parenthood.

According to Ellefsen, Doherty found his exchange with Romney to be "insincere and stale."

"Mitt Romney approached him ultimately four times, using this private gathering as a political venture to further his image,"Ellefsen told KIRO. "He kept introducing himself as Mitt Romney, a political figure. The same introduction, the same opening line ... [Doherty] said it was pathetic and comical to have the same person come up to you within only a half hour, have
this person reintroduce himself to you, having absolutely no idea whatsoever that he just did this 20 minutes ago, and did not even recognize Glen's face."

Mitt Romney cannot enforce a pro-life position on America's women politically during election because he would lose the election hands down (eventhough he will still lose anyway). But it's already in the GOP TEA Party platform. Instead, Mitt seeks to select SCOTUS Justices who enforce pro-life positions....not a woman's pro-choice.

He gets caught every time. The only problem with this is that the RWNJ base that he is pandering to will not hear of or read this article from Huff Post and there is absolutely no way that News for FUXED up viewers will ever utter a word about it. Lush Limpballs will go on for days about how heartbroken Romney was about Mr. Doherty, who by all accounts thought as we all do, and that Romney is a douche of the first order!

The notions that Romney has changed his position or lied, are in and of themselves lies.

Because he has done neither.

But, the ObamaPHILES continue to shout that he has, in the hopes that if they do it long enough and loud enough it will become "truth."

In this case, Romney didn't say he'll seek to repeal Roe v. Wade. In fact, he said very specifically he won't do that. (I'm not sure he could even if he wanted to.)

He simply stated he will be a "Pro Life President." Which, by the way, should surprise no one since "pro-life" is part of the Republican platform and has been for more than 30 years!

Just the right amount to get our people killed, Spanky.

Security got pulled back because Obama wanted to "normalize" relations. Ipso facto, in Obama's mind, it's "normal" to have people killed by al Queda. In a country Obama helped destabilize.

Funny thing- after the Gulf wars, you didn't hear much from Qaddafi, now, did you? He, maybe, got the message- stay out of our faces. Then, along comes Obama, who decides to "lead from behind"- and get involved with who-knows-who n Libya.

I guess we just found out who.

Then, of course, there's Egypt- the attack on the Embassy there had, at its root, the freeing of the Blind Sheikh who was the author of the first World Trade Center attack. That apology from the embassy there for a video must have had them scratching their heads. Didn't take Obama long to publicize it well enough to inflame the Muslim world to violence, now, did it?

Maybe Obama's found his niche.

So spare us your indignant poutrage!

On Wednesday morning, CNN anchor Soledad O'Brien asked the Utah Republican if he had "voted to cut the funding for embassy security."

"Absolutely," Chaffetz said

For the past two years, House Republicans have continued to deprioritize the security forces protecting State Department personnel around the world. In fiscal year 2011, lawmakers shaved $128 million off of the administration's request for embassy security funding. House Republicans drained off even more funds in fiscal year 2012 -- cutting back on the department's request by $331 million.

when Romney was running for president in 2007, he proclaimed the Supreme Court decision that legalized abortions should be overturned

Romney also said during a debate on CNN. "I would welcome a circumstance where there was such a consensus in this country where we said we don't want to have abortions in this country at all. Period. That would be wonderful."

As governor, Romney also promised to do nothing that would threaten pro-choice rights already in law. But in 2005, he vetoed a bill that would have widened accessibility to emergency contraception.

Romney also said he would entirely defund Planned Parenthood, an organization that provides women's health services.

Romney claims to have no knowledge of any impending abortion bill that he would take up on his agenda?

That's not what he said on June 18th, 2011 in the National Review:

I will advocate for and support a Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act to protect unborn children who are capable of feeling pain from abortion.

I support the reversal of Roe v. Wade, because it is bad law and bad medicine. Roe was a misguided ruling that was a result of a small group of activist federal judges legislating from the bench. I support the Hyde Amendment, which broadly bars the use of federal funds for abortions. And as president, I will support efforts to prohibit federal funding for any organization like Planned Parenthood, which primarily performs abortions or offers abortion-related services.

Mitt has flip-flopped on this issue many times...

In Canada we are pro choice. There are fewer abortions in Canada than in the U.S. 25% fewer per capita. Why????

It's simple. When a women wants an abortion she is given free counseling.

The next is maternity benefits. When a women gives birth she gets 1 year paid maternity leave. She still maintains her job as it is illegal to fire anyone once they return from maternity leave. She is a stay at home mom for the first year of her child's life. If the wife decides to work after the child is born , the husband can take paid maternity leave instead for the same period of time , 1 year.

You can be pro-life all you want although personally I am pro-choice as no one has a right to dictate to a woman what choices she should make for herself, however if a woman is given the proper options and counseling the statistics show that abortion rates are much lower in countries,( eg Canada ) that have a social conscience and provide free assistance. ( also abortions are 100% paid for under our medical and we are still at a lower rate than the U.S. ) The U.S. still lives in the dark ages on so many issues.

Pro-life, my ass.

Anybody have an idea where this statement came from?

"In the event the child is determined to be physiologically, genetically or chromosomally abnormal, the decision to abort or not to abort is to be made by the intended parents. In such a case the surrogate agrees to abort, or not to abort, in accordance with the intended parents' decision."

This is a clause from the contract signed a few years ago by Mitt Romney's adult son Tagg, along with his wife, REQUIRING that the surrogate of their as yet unborn twin children ABORT any fetus which the Romney's came to believe may in some way be 'abnormal'.

So which is worse....the Romney family hypocrisy regarding abortion or their willingness to exercise an option to murder less-than-perfect unborn children?

I would be ok with pro-life if it means no war.

Based on Romney's aggressive stance and 'more military' mentality I am guessing that pro-life to Romney means war on women.

Romney is a man after all and the inability to control one's own uterus has absolutely no affect or bad consequences to him at all.

No. He won't be pro life. He will be pro death. He will send as many of our young men and women that he can into wars without meaning just to show how strong he is. He wants women to have the babies so he, and his cronies, can send them to war. He doesn't even know the meaning of 'pro life'. He thinks it means forcing women to have babies they can't care for is good, whereas pro life means having a sense of what is good, and allowing women to make the decision in the privacy of their doctor's office. Abortion is never an easy decision, and it is one that should be made between the woman, her god, and her doctor. No politicians allowed. (However, IF he really wants all those babies, I suggest the women all name him as father and send the kids to him immediately upon birth.)

"Nobody likes to be tagged as having increased the debt limit for the United States by a trillion dollars. As president, you start realizing, you know what, we can't play around with this stuff. . . . (Raising the limit is) important for the country."

-- President Barack Obama, April 15, 2011

Okay, now that we've settled the issue on flip-flopping candidates, I'll say this: Planned Parenthood is a necessity in bridging the gap in healthcare for women. Romney, quit being a moron!

I do believe that the American people were informed about Romney during the GOP primary. Gingrich, Santorum, Cain, and whoever else said that Romney would say whatever he thought was necessary at the time, depending on what particular group of people he was speaking to at the time, to get elected. Romney isn't really a flip flopper, he seems to be more of a serial liar. The biggest problem with that is he ends telling lies to try and cover up lies that he has said before.

Romney signed the "Personhood Pledge" which states:

"PERSONHOOD REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE PLEDGE

I _________________— proclaim that every human being is created in the image and likeness of God, and is endowed by our Creator with the unalienable right to life.

I stand with President Ronald Reagan in supporting “the unalienable personhood of every American, from the moment of conception until natural death,” and with the Republican Party platform in affirming that I “support a human life amendment to the Constitution, and endorse legislation to make clear that the 14th Amendment protections apply to unborn children.”

I believe that in order to properly protect the right to life of the vulnerable among us, every human being at every stage of development must be recognized as a person possessing the right to life in federal and state laws without exception and without compromise. I recognize that in cases where a mother’s life is at risk, every effort should be made to save the baby’s life as well; leaving the death of an innocent child as an unintended tragedy rather than an intentional killing.

I oppose assisted suicide, euthanasia, embryonic stem cell research, and procedures that intentionally destroy developing human beings.

I pledge to the American people that I will defend all innocent human life. Abortion and the intentional killing of an innocent human being are always wrong and should be prohibited.

If elected President, I will work to advance state and federal laws and amendments that recognize the unalienable right to life of all human beings as persons at every stage of development, and to the best of my knowledge, I will only appoint federal judges and relevant officials who will uphold and enforce state and federal laws recognizing that all human beings at every stage of development are persons with the unalienable right to life."

When he flipped his etch-a-sketch once again, Romney lied once again.

Caesar Augustus:

It was Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Senate minority leader when president Obama was elected, who made the Republican stance crystal clear when he announced, “the single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.”

Their duty was not to rebuild our nation’s faltering infrastructure, stop the skyrocketing unemployment rate, fix the out-of-control mortgage foreclosure situation, reinforce and renew banking legislation to insure Americans were protected against fraudulent banking practices, sure up social security and Medicare, turn-around the tumbling economic picture or help our returning veterans transition back into the workforce, no …

The SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT THING on the Republican agenda was to hobble the LEGALLY ELECTED president of the United States of America. THAT was the GOP's top priority; defeat President Obama.

ROMNEY: "I will roll back President Obama's deep and arbitrary cuts to our national defense that would devastate our military."

THE FACTS: "Arbitrary" defense cuts do not belong to Obama alone but also to congressional Republicans, including his vice presidential running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan.

As for the Government funding abortions, I dont they should be in the business of providing funding for such services. So Republicans shouldnt tell women what to do with their bodies, in the same breath the Democrats have no right to say hey live it up, you only live once. Its a screwed scenario.

1.2 million Texas children have neither private nor public health insurance.

Almost 40% of Texas mothers received little or no prenatal care and one in seven babies were born premature.

The difference between being insured and uninsured? 90 % of insured kids are healthy, while only 58% of kids without insurance are considered healthy.

So your solution is to just kill them, chop them up before they even have a chance at life... great solution.

I know a lady that worked for an abortion clinic. Well she worked there for a few days until she was sent in to clean up after an abortion... the fetus was still lying on the table, moving... it was still alive. It shook her up and went in to tell the Doctor... The Doctor told her just to close her eyes... that delivered fetus was a human being... just left there to die.

I hope this satisfies you Bayllie... it shows exactly how empty your chest cavity is. There's something to be said about people who support abortion... something like they have no respect for human life. They make up excuses that the children will be abused, not fed, left without insurance and otherwise every one of them are useless.

That is not what happened and you know it. As an elected representative of the people of the United States our Senators and Congressmen have an obligation to manage the nation in such a way as to benefit those people. The Republicans, by taking that stance, made it clear that they didn't care if their partisan politics injured the American people. They set out to make President Obama's life in the White House a living heII, but they didn't count on his strength of character. All it has done is make them look like a bunch of sore losers.

President Obama was elected and, rather than the GOP sucking it up and saying, "okay, I was hoping our party would win, but the American people want him and agree with his policies, so I'll defer to THEM", the GOP dug in their heels and refused to compromise on anything he put forth.

Where did you EVER see President Obama show, as you say, boast: "I WON I WON IN YOUR FACE." The answer is never. CRIPES! Maybe he shouldn't have SMILED when he was elected - what, you wanted him to be unhappy about it?

You guys have a loser for a candidate. You have no way of defending his flip flopping, outrageous stupidity, so you try to bounce the ball back into our court. I guess, in November, you'll be hacked when President Obama says 'Thank You' to the American people for giving him a second term.

    Thanks for the information about Texas and women and children who are uninsured.

    Considering the above post about Canada, Texas sounds like a third world country.

    I voted for Obama because he want to provide affordable heath care insurance to the uninsured. The heath care law is moving forward.

    In spite of the Perry in texas refusing to move to increase medicaid coverage to families who earn under 29,000. or single person earning under 15,000.

    And Romney wants to repeal the law as one of his first priorities.

      It has been said, "Beware of one who provides rational answers to all of your concerns."

      To all of those who keep bringing up Obama's 2006 vote against raising the debt ceiling:

      Perhaps he actually knew what he was talking about. Why? Because the debt ratio as a percentage of GDP is now the lowest it has been since...........2006!

      That is correct. Our debt right now today is less it was before the Great Recession began.

      So what if Obama could not keep up with Robme's lies during the debate.

      The unemployment rate is at 7.8% and going down.

      The national debt is going down to pre Great Recession levels.

      Maybe this Obama guy isn't doing so bad after all? :0)

        Quite frankly, Romney scares me. If he flip flops this much in his candidacy for presidency, how is he ever going to take a firm stance on things that matter if he actually (god forbid) becomes President?

        Take away funding from Planned Parenthood? Does he even know what that program does? Or does he just see Abortion and automatically fight against it, EVEN when the program specifically goes into other avenues including adoption and parenting. This man has NO idea what he's talking about, the fact that he denounced 47% of Americans as 'not working hard enough' while he spews this petty little speech at a 50k a plate dinner is pathetic and insulting.

        Personal responsibility? He should choke on those two words as he has yet to take any responsibility for the crap that comes out of his mouth and his constant changing of opinion.

        Both campaigns need to pull their heads out their butts and get to what's really important. Fix this country and stop finger pointing.

        The Personhood Pledge contradicts itself:

        "... [stuff cut] I stand with President Ronald Reagan in supporting “the unalienable personhood of every American, from the moment of conception until natural death,”

        So what is natural death? Does that include mothers who have sudden eclampsia in pregnancy and must have an abortion or they will die? I know personally two women whose babies were lucky enough to be far enough along to survive emergency C-sections, and in both cases the mothers almost died. They are good little Republicans too. Does natural death include people who die fighting in wars? Does natural death include people who die of polluted water, air, and food? Does natural death include people who die of violent crimes caused by [natural -sic] guns? I'm not against guns either, but c'mon, the death can't be called natural.

        "...and with the Republican Party platform in affirming that I “support a human life amendment to the Constitution, and endorse legislation to make clear that the 14th Amendment protections apply to unborn children.”

        So this is a pledge to the Almighty Republican Party? It contradicts the first paragraph that is a pledge to the Almighty God. My Almighty God says to heal the sick (book of Tobit and also the Gospel of St. Matthew, chapter 25, verses 31-46, especially verses 36, 40, 43, 45-46. Also the Good Samaritan, St. Luke 10:25-37.) Showing mercy to women is as important as showing mercy to embryos, because who do you expect to take care of those children, Mittens? He is more likely to tie them to the roof of his car.

        While saying "Obama-Biden 2012" I want to remind people of the vast difference between V.P. Biden and Rep. Ryan. Biden wrote the first act which protects women from domestic violence. Ryan and Akins have subscribed to a stance that does not know the first Middle-School level facts about pregnancy, and certainly nothing about rape. So, when I say "Obama-Biden 2012," I am also naming the work of V.P. Joe Biden on behalf of women.

        As the PM of Australia said:

        The extreme arm of the party of cranks and crazies!

        One outcome is certain:

        The United States today is slowly moving in the same direction as Germany did in the late 1920's and mid 1930's with the rise of the Nazi party, running on anti-inmigration and nationalistic platforms and policies ( Against the Bolshevics and the Jews ), and nothing works around the world without our strong military complex been present ( The equivalent of extending the German boot print on your forehead throughout Prussia and Western Europe), for those old enough to remember.

        This cranks and crazies are just as extreme as the ones who attacked the US Embassy in Benghazi Libya, the only difference is that they are right here at home, affiliated to militias and conspiracy theories as well as twisted religious ideology.

        President Obama and his team dealing with extreme Islam and Iran today, are the equivalent of President Kennedy and his cabinet at the time of the Cuban missile crisis with the Soviet Union back in the 60's.

        So, Follow this 2 links:

        http://historyonthenet.com/Nazi_Germany/women.htm

        http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1142824/Nazi-women-exposed-bit-bad-Hitlers-deranged-male-followers.html


        And then answer this one question as honestly as possible:

        What political party in America today, right now best align themselves with the platform ideology of these 2 links?

        And then read a bit on Germany between 1925-1938, and the rise of the Nazi party and Hitler of course, between now and election day.

        Remember, your vote in Nov, will have a profound impact on your family, friends and neighborhoods for years to come, specifically for those serving in the military ( Your sons and daughters, and those of your neighborhoods, in the very near future) and maybe your own maid, farm worker and landscaper.

        Among other things, I smell war with Iran right around the corner, as soon as Romney gets elected.

        So if anybody believes that the war in Irak was disastrous, just wait until we get involved in Iran.

        I had thought that he had underestimated the collective intelligence of the voting public. But the recent shift in poll numbers makes me believe he had the average citizen's gullibility quotient correctly pegged.

        Of course, it doesn't help that in the first Presidential Election debate an empty suit showed up in place of Barrack Obama.

        Where was Obama, I wonder. Did somebody tell him the election was the week before, and the first debate was just a dramatic reenactment? There are cigar store indians who could have done a better job.

          You can never become a successful businessman reaping millions off the misery of hundreds of thousands without the following attributes;

          1 - You must be a very effective liar with a relatively handsome face.
          2 - You must be a man of many faces to instantly apply in order to persuade those that you are conning.
          3 - You must impress those that view wealth as the only measure of success by wearing expensive clothing, arriving in expensive transportation and expressing your open disdain for the "little people". They have your back and will support you in every way.
          4 - You must impress those that view hard work and honesty as a virtue by dressing down. Rolled up shirt sleeves and a pair of jeans while arriving in a modest vehicle usually does the trick. Tell them whatever you think they want to hear. Smile and shake a lot of hands. You can royally screw them over while they're still talking about what a nice man you seem to be. The fools among them will insist that you did your best on their behalf despite the heavy money bag you hurriedly carried away. Those fools will support you in every way even as their children suffer hunger and pain.

          All of the above work extremely well for some businessmen, bankers, lawyers, vulture capitalists and con-men as long as they plan to take the money and run. Running for President is a very risky venture. All of your deception and lies tend to catch up with you. Your conviction that the majority of the American electorate are the very same fools that made you a multi-millionaire remains to be seen.

          I'm betting against you and betting on the intelligence of the American people to turn you away. November 6, 2012 is so near and yet so far away. Will you win or will the good people of the United States of America win?

          Romney is the most insincere candidate in the history of the world. He picks positions based on polling and then shifts his position based on the group of voters he needs to win over, hoping he doesn't lose the supporters he already has.

          It is a devious strategy that will go down in history as the most coldly calculating campaign ever. This from a guy who is happy to fire people. He will say almost anything to get elected. Flip-flop doesn't begin to describe this strategy. Romney seems capable of taking any position across the political spectrum, so long as it serves his purpose.

          It is a frightening thought that we have a man this close to being President and we don't even know what he stands for.

            We in the Midwest do not like flip floppers. It's the reason Romney is in trouble in Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.

            Romney is sounding like the 2007 Romney who repeatedly told different audiences different stories.

            We have seen his type before. Does Romney not understand that we in the Midwest trust, but verify. Romney offers no verification of this plans, just empty words. Just like the empty words of Wall Street CEOs that led to the economic crash.

I actually kind of feel sorry for his campaign staff, they must be TOTALLY EXAUSTED from walking back and TRYING TO JUSTIFY, every word out of his mouth. And what is really sad is, the poeple who actually DEFEND him, can people REALLY BE THAT BLIND? Or, maybe they're just that MIS-IMFORMED. P.S. Hope that you both had a great weekend!

            Does she mean like a Libya cover up or a Fast and Furious cover up? Perhaps she was referring to a Solyndra cover up?

            Where/How does the left find so many stupid people to represent them? E

            She seems especially stupid.

            Romney's pro-life. Like most pro-life people he hates abortion but realizes that is a choice in the hands of one person. The woman choosing to get the abortion. He has never proclaimed a desire to overturn Roe v Wade. It is highly doubtful he or anyone else would ever be able to do so.

            Just more grasping at straws from the left leaning fools who have no vision, no plan, no hope. In November we begin the change.

            Frank,

            Are you talking about Steri-cycle?

            Earlier this year, Mitt Romney nearly landed in a politically perilous controversy when the Huffington Post reported that in 1999 the GOP presidential candidate had been part of an investment group that invested $75 million in Stericycle, a medical-waste disposal firm that has been attacked by anti-abortion groups for disposing aborted fetuses collected from family planning clinics.

            Ursala, read for comprehension. Romney was asked, specifically, if he would INTRODUCE egislation to overturn Roe vs. Wade. He said he would not, and that he was unaware of any pending legislation, (that means, something passed by both the Senate and the House, awaiting presidential signature or veto), that he would have to address.

            He then reiterated his former promise to cut federal funding to Planned Parenthood, (which, like the Corporation for Public Briadcasting, can get along very well without it), and to reinstate the policy of every president since Reagan that barred federal subsidy to programs that promote abortion overseas.

            His campaign subsequently said Romney would "of course support legislation aimed at providing greater protections for life,"

            Too funny. You're not pro-life. You're just anti-abortion.

            If you were pro-life, you would support birth control, health care for the pregnant woman, and social programs to support mother and child after the birth when the father opts out of his parental responsibility. You would support government health care, public education and a jobs program. You would be in favor of regulating businesses so that they can't pollute our water and air, or gain tax benefits from shipping jobs offshore.

            Pro-life requires being for a quality of life, or you're just blowing smoke. If you vote for Willard and Eddie Munster, you're not pro-life, you're just doing as you've been told, which isn't very smart. If you haven't signed up to adopt any of these babies you're hoping to "save", then you're the biggest hypocrite of them all.

I happened to walk by the local women's clinic last weekend, and stopped and talk to the side walk bullies. They, in their zealotry, figured they could convert me. I merely stopped to direct them to the mental health clinic up the street. We don't need that trash blocking the roads for law abiding people. The idiots are so stupid that it took them a full five minutes to understand that I had insulted them.

Now, about that woman dying while a realistic alternative should be available to her...how pro life is that? What would you tell her other children about why you thought their mother should die?

            no jo, you dolt...it is the people of YOUR party that are bragging about cutting funds for security to that embassy. You going to show some outrage at that? Or is it just the black President, who beat your crush HIllary, that you will continue to lie about?

            By the way, Conservative "rebellion". Your post at 3:15 could be interpreted as a threat. If I decide it is, I will turn it in.

            I suggest you knock it off.

            You're just a lying Obamanoid drone. There has been no cuts to anything since Obama took office. There has been no budget in the last three years.

            I bet you know the length of Obama's zipper though.

            Only a brain dead drama queen could decide something that offered no threat in the verbiage from someone you don't even know, or has a clue as to who you are, could interpret an anonymous internet post on a blog as a threat.

            You truly are lacking something upstairs.

                I am Pro-Choice......In fact I would go so far as to say that anyone under the age of 25 should be required to abort a pregnancy. After age 25 only people with an income above $250,000.00 annually should be allowed to have children with a limit of two. Then in one hundred years most of today's problems would be over.

                Also, we could just sterilize all children at birth. Voila, the problem, all of them, would be solved.

                  Newday is not lying. I saw an excerpt from the hearings on Benghazi security on the news last night, and one of the Democratic congressmen accused the Republican Chairman of the committee doing the investigation of that, namely, that the Republicans had cut funding for embassy security. You can check this out:

                    once again, he's not pro-life, he's anti-abortion. Pro-life indicates that the well being of the person at any age is important, while anti-abortion only cares about the lives of the unborn. The conservative platform, through the Ryan budget which Mr. Romney has sworn to sign, cuts education, medicaid, early childhood development, and so many other vital programs that to call it a pro-life agenda is backasswards.

                    It is an anti-abortion and then you're on your own platform, not pro-life.

                    They don't know how a human being's life will turn out so their solution is to kill it before anyone has a chance to find out. Right?

                    They fool themselves. Why would anyone who doesn't care about an unborn human being think anyone would believe they care about anything other than themselves? Why should we believe they care about the born? Hilarious!

                      If you really care about people, you will do everything in your power to offer health care to the sick, food to the hungry, visit prisoners (and educate children so that they won't end up in an economic prison they can't leave), clean water to the thirsty, taking in the strangers, and even clothing those with nothing (keeping people warm in winter). I didn't make this up, it is St. Matthew 25:35-36. Since a fetus does not involve themselves in most of these activities, these verses must apply to those who are born already, not just unborn.

                      Nobody ever said that Democrats kill unborn children, but we do give mothers a chance to keep their children or to prevent pregnancy in the first place. The attitude of the Republicans is to laugh at charity, calling it "hilarious." Every recession they laugh it up with their buddies, because do you notice they are making lots of money meanwhile? Wall Street is raising its bonuses this year. Tell that to people who are still being foreclosed on by banks. So who is pro-death: it is the Republicans, and no matter who wins this election, removing charity from America is not a victory.

The politicians, that is, don't suffer. However, Dems want to raise taxes on the people so they can live it up in Washington. Republicans just want to cut spending on crap so they can live it up.

                            How many of you changed the way you feel about being either pro-one or the other after you reached adulthood (assuming of course that has occurred) ?

                            I respect both positions, just so long as you don't force your belief on me. Governor Romney changed his position 180 degrees when he was in his fifties and became Governor of Mass. I find this harder to believe than switching from being a Mets fan to being a Yankees fan, and that is almost an impossibility...

                            More importantly what about his support for stimulus during the end of 2008 when the cliff seemed imminent? What about his suggestion to use Romney care as a guide for HCR?

                            dangerfield - If he is having a sincere moment one can't tell on much of anything. IMO, it is like the Little boy who cried wolf. It is unbelievable.

                            Defunding Planned Parenthood means defunding gynecological care for thousands and thousands of women.

                            Even Republican women who have health insurance through work, rely on Planned Parenthood.
                            One of my co-workers goes there because our insurance doesn't cover birth control.

                            Providing safe abortions is a small part of what P.P. does, and federal funds are not used by that part of the organization. To blithely say he will defund Planned Parenthood shows that Mitt either doesn't know or doesn't care how young women get healthcare if they can't afford private doctors.

                            No, the elimination of Planned Parenthood funding and the Mexico City thing he plans to just do by Executive Order.

                            And we all know how much the right believes in those executive orders.....

                            If Romney were not a political figure, it wouldn't matter so much about his changing views. But, he is running for President and can affect the health of many, many women. By defunding Planned Parenthood, health care becomes less available for women with low incomes - this is huge. Even if he didn't seek to ban abortion, he would likely sign a bill should it come across his desk.

                            Abortion is complicated and not usually straightforward. People who are against abortion may not understand the circumstances some women find themselves. I met a woman who was getting an abortion because her husband refused for her to use birth control, she already had nine children, and her doctor said another pregnancy would likely kill her.

                            Another case was a teenager who became pregnant by her brother. Her parents literally worshiped her brother because he was the oldest son and could do no wrong. After her older sister got old enough to resist his 'advances', he moved onto to his younger sister. When she was 16, she became pregnant and was in a very difficult situation. She was afraid to tell her parents who the father was so she lied - she said it was her boyfriend, a white man. Her grandparents had all immigrated from China. Her parents allowed her to get an abortion and once she left home for college, she never returned.

                            These are just two of the situations I've run into, which to me demonstrate that abortion should be a discussion between a woman and her doctor. I just don't see Romney playing a big role in these decisions. There are young girls victimized by males around her and there are women who are victimized by their husbands. Banning abortion won't change that.

                            Middle class - There was a severely mentally challenged young woman who was raped in Georgia. When the man who did it was tried he was acquitted because Georgia legislature states that even though she cannot verbally communicate and can barely lift a finger, she should have fought him. Because she didn't - he was acquitted.

                            Yet, if this woman got pregnant, Romney/Ryan would force her to have the child. Ridiculous - on so many levels.

                            Funding for what ever legislation is initiated in the House. Governor Romney, as President can exclude funding for Planned Parenthood in the budget he presents - there's no guarantee his budget would be passed in tact and without revision.

                            No one is banning abortion. Even if the conservatives wanted to, the country is so split on this issue, a ban would never happen.

                            I can see that if someone had an experience associated with abortion they might have a sudden change in position (e.g. they were raped, had a health crisis, bad doctor.) However, not one of these instances have take place in the last 3 months which explain the 3 or 4 different positions Romney has taken.

                            THAT is the problem. Do we really want someone to launch the missiles and then change their mind ?

                            From Webster:

                            Flip Flop
                            1 : the sound or motion of something flapping loosely

                            2a : a backward handspring

                            b : a sudden reversal (as of policy or strategy)

                            Evolve:
                            : to change or develop slowly often into a better, more complex, or more advanced state : to develop by a process of evolution

                            Flip flop is sudden and is a reversal. like Romney's position on abortion.

                            Evolution is slow and developmental and does not reverse, like Obama's position on gay marriage.

                            Actually, Romney is not to be trusted about anything that affects the lives of ANYONE, anywhere.

                            As Dr. Suess might say,

                            "I will not trust him with a goat,

                            I do not trust him with a boat.

                            I do not trust that Republican.

                            I do not trust him and Paul Ryan.

                            I do not trust him here or there.

                            I do not trust him anywhere.

                            I do not trust him with the facts.

                            You know he'll cut the wealthy tax.

                            I would not trust him with a dog.

                            I would not trust him with a log.

                            I would not trust him with a horse.

                            Even if it could dance a course.

                            I would not trust him with the House.

                            You know he'll make cuts, like a louse.

                            Even the most absurd.

                            He'll even make cuts to Big Bird.

                            I do not trust trust that Republican.

                            Or that little Paul Ryan."

                            The cadences of Theodore Geisel, like the lessons of Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers, still hold true for the two or three generations after they were first penned.

                            Its too bad Mitt Romney was never in Cub Scouts, he would have learned about Honor and Truth.

                            No one is banning abortion. Even if the conservatives wanted to, the country is so split on this issue, a ban would never happen.

                            Unfortunately, I know many people like you. You could not be more wrong. Grover Norquist said it like this. We know where we are going, all we need is someone with enough digits to hold a pen to sign the bill.

                            Romney Invested in Medical-Waste Firm That Disposed of Aborted Fetuses, Government Documents Show

                            And these documents challenge Romney's claim that he left Bain Capital in early 1999.

                            dal: Romney, like Cheney, still earns money from his "investments" in his "former" companies. That's the real reason he didn't want the world to see his tax returns, not just that he pays a lot less than the rest of us, and he hides a lot of it in foreign countries.

                            Thank you notrocketscience for a good laugh! I even remembered how that tune went!

                            On a different note, yesterday Ann Romney was on The View and they asked her some questions about where she stands on some women's issues. I only heard snippets but she was snippy with the ladies and said they need to ask Mitt (how conveniently did he cancel and send her) but I guess Whoopey pushed her and all Ann kept repeating was the word "Choice" and said women will have "choices" ~ what a blatant lie !! She comes across as arrogant, and was so stiff looking when she hugged and (barely) kissed the ladies on the cheecks. I can't imagine how they ended up having 5 kids!

                            Romney has NO idea how much he will hurt women by taking away Planned Parenthood. Countless numbers of women use this place for their mammograms, pap smears and other health related issues that don't have anything to do with abortions. I sure hope the women in this country wake up and realize how bad he will be for America!

                              That is well put AS IT RELATES TO OBAMA and the loser zombies that support him! HOW CAN ANYONE believe Obama AFTER ALL HIS FLIP FLOPS, outright lies and distortions!

                              ASSESSMENT: Infinitesimal amount of posts on here actually call Obama to task FOR ALL HIS FAILURES and position changes.

                              ALL MOST ALL posts, the neophytes are distracting from all the relevant facts of failures and lies of Obama to the hypocritical views they espouse. YOU parasitic microbes, like Obama, TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY for anything!! You want no one to tell you about your bedroom activities, BUT, YOU WANT that same government to pay for what you do in your bedroom! YOU ACCEPT NO RESPONSIBILITY for personal actions, yet you want the abortion option available to relieve you,again, of any responsibility after YOU have acted irresponsibly! AS A FORMER FETUS, you damn well should oppose abortion!! ...just like Obama, NONE of YOU will ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY..... ALWAYS SOMEONE or SOMETHING Else's FAULT!

                                BTW, Planned Parenthood isn't just about abortions you moron! PP provides Mammograms, pap-tests that are vital health preventative exams for thousands of women just to name a few. No one should tell anyone what to do with their own body.

IF the Republicans would STAY OUT of the abortion issue and let each woman follow her heart and her doctor's advice on that subject then it would be a non-issue, BUT they're making it their business to do their best to stop ALL abortions in the US!! The Republican's put forth over 1100 pieces of anti-abortion legislation just last year alone!! Paul Ryan and his buddy Todd Akin even sponsored a 'personhood' bill together!

I'm not commenting because I believe that there are boundaries on what represents legitimate functions of government. Things that may be good to do are not necessarily things that the government should do.

                                  What a woman does with her body and whom we may marry are example of areas in which the Government has no business meddling. The lack of responses here may just reflect a lack of interest.

And to call my response "childish" again trivializes a very serious topic but that is your goal, right? Because women's issues are trivial.

                                  I would concur with that assessment of Romney. His voice makes my skin crawl, his smirky smile makes me turn away, his laugh scares the crap out of me, and the thought of him touching me makes me vomit in my mouth a little bit. I think that about sums up my thoughts on the likes of Romney.

                                  SO, these post debate polls are lost on you, right?

                                  Kinda looking like women are split pretty even these days.

                                  Not sure I get your 'let 'em buy you a drink' thing-y. Seems like a Sandra Fluke "I needs free birth control" ish but whatever.

                                  Bottom line is Mitt is winning overall, even with the fun filled samples.

                                  But hey - speaking of clubs - you got O, and admitted druggy v Mitt and mormon.

                                  Whose at the club?

                                    No trouble at all.

                                    Look at the electoral map. The election will be close but Romney has all the heavy lifting. So your"useful Idiot" is still useless.

                                    Spanky

                                    I did not know you were a literalist ?

                                    Thought you had some imagination.

                                    So I will re frame my analogy. If Mitt tried to talk to any women at the a school mixer, school outing , or at a college class, he would still be one of those creepy guys you would not want to be his lab partner in a science class.

                                    I think it comes down to this: there are a lot more women rape victims than men rape victims, and most of us vote. We sure pay attention to these issues; if you think we don't, you are a very sorry person.

                                    Romey is amazing and I have seen a few politicans in my time, I did not think I would have say it but George W. has more truth in him than Romney does. Romney's lying is on some kinf of dirrerent level than George W. Some one described Romney as being a pathological liar and this is probably as accurate as an observer can be.

                                    Mrs. Romney has publicly stated that she is concerned about her husband's "mental well being".

                                    Maybe she was trying to tell us all something.

                                    Where and when did Mrs. Romney say this? This certainly is a comment worth worrying about. Why the statement and in that context? Mrs. Romney isn't afraid of also lying in stating her husband has not lied, has said the same things for the past two years. She calls those questioning her husband as bad losers and cry babies - well, maybe it's time she and her hubby start being truthful - it's only fair to the voting public and especially to those they are pandering to for votes.

                                    Here you go;

                                    (CBS News) Ann Romney's biggest concern if her husband becomes president would be his ability to maintain his "mental well-being," she said in an interview Thursday with KTVN in Reno, Nev.

                                    Asked what her primary worry would be should her husband succeed in defeating President Obama on Nov. 6, Mrs. Romney replied, "You know, I think my biggest concern, obviously, would just be for his mental well-being."

                                    LOL! Mitt Romney, the abortionist, is going to be "pro-life"? Too funny. He made part of his fortune in the abortion industry - investing in Stericycle, a medical waste company that disposes of dead fetuse. Why the hell would he damage his own portfolio and cost himself and his friends money? Mitt is a baby killer (in right-wing parlance). Baby killers can't be pro-life!

Remember, he is used to having the little guy have to shut up and not argue with his lies. Now, the little guys are in charge and he doesn't know how to handle it.

                                    We just have to make sure everyone gets out to vote for Obama. (And if we all plan schedules right, we can keep the republicans in here arguing all day while we go vote....lol)

                                    This latest comment by Romney should not surprise anyone. He is trying to make the republican base happy, and with the republicans comments over the past six months I think we all understand that they do not care or want women to have any say so over their own bodies.

                                      Are you saying that you prefer abortion to contraception? Is there something wrong with birth control? Obamacare does not pay for abortions, only birth control. A study at Washington University at St. Louis showed that birth control prevents abortions, by a huge percentage. That's been in this news in the last two weeks.

He helped write up and paid for his son's contract with the surrogate of his twins that basically says they can abort at will.He is an out and out liar and needs to be called on it.Can't understand why no one has brought this up.

                                        good mitt.......after all abortion is generally about killing a baby as a means of birth control....why are you dems so into abortion?????>.......chariman mao was into abortion also.....he wanted the chinese to abort baby girls...abortion is murder......on the other hand, too bad obama's mama didn't have free access to abortion......that one would have been justifiable seeing how obama has damaged our nation....i guess in some instances, abortion is the right choice!!!

                                        I'm for abortion because I don't want to give birth. I should have the freedom to choose abortion if my birth control fails me. If I choose to raise a child I would choose to adopt. Why should some insanely religious OUTSIDE party be coming and trying to legislate otherwise? I should be free to make my own reproductive choices and you should be free to pop out as many babies as you want if you're pro-life. It's unfortunate you feel the president responsible for annihilating osama should have been an abortion. I think it's an undignified and classy thing to say about a president who has actually accomplished things DESPITE all the republican obstruction that has gone on the past couple years.

                                        Pro-choice doesn't mean you're gung ho about abortions it means you believe it's a woman's right to choose. Why are you so against a woman having that choice? How does any abortion another woman has affect you directly? Do you think that if abortion became illegal that women still wouldn't get them? Does it affect you less if an abortion is obtained illegally or somewhere that abortion is NOT illegal? (Canada & Mexico would have legal safe abortions even if USA did not) Why is this such an important topic to the republican party who said keep government out of my health care? Why doesn't that thought process extend to keep government away from my uterus and my reproductive rights!

                                        You don't have to answer all those questions, just know that lots of people wonder that stuff when they see weird anti-abortion posts with some anti-life laced in when it's in regards to Obama.

                                        In other words it's two faced and hypocritical. If you don't care then I won't be surprised, and if you do care, hopefully you'll be able to put together a more coherent post on the topic at hand the next time you comment on it.

                                        Pro-life isn't as respectable as some seem to think it is, just check out the stupidity and remember, these people will probably procreate, SCARY!

                                        Great post. You are asking way too much from "wack my paddywack mcpaddywack"! Sorry, couldn't help myself! LOL This person has never really been able to articulate a comment without there being some major hatred and racism thrown in.

                                        Libgirl: If you want to see them run from this quickly, just offer the other solution. Get a girl pregnant who doesn't want a baby and you have to get a vasectomy. See how fast they don't want government in their reproductive rights. This includes the republican women who know hubby may end up being snipped because republican men all seem to have girlfriends on the side.

                                        Woops. Isn't this why Mitt was losing in the first place? Glad to see Mitt is back!! What a honeymoon. A week or less. I feel sorry for Mitt at the next 2 debates. He gave a foreign policy speech a few days ago when he was feeling his oats. And he can't take it with him to the debate. He has to remember what he said. The moderator must ask Mitt questions. If he or she doesn't they will be derelict in their duties. America must see how this man lies and can't remember which lie he told when. Besides Gallup poll shows Obama is rising again. If he were ever down that is. I personally don't think he was. Glad to see the media is back doing their job reporting the lies too.

                                        This man makes my head hurt. He's said so many different things to different people. What a brilliant strategy! He can collect enough votes because everyone voting for him is voting for a different version of him.

                                        Funny, that's what his handlers say, too! (The part about the headache.) But, you may be right about the different versions voting thing.
