Romney just confirmed: He's still "pro-choice"! This unwittingly comes out in his latest interview in National Review Online. (See our analysis below.)
And, the political media is STILL not dealing with the larger constitutional issue of Gov. Romney's record in Massachusetts, revealed in our report: his illegal implementation of homosexual "marriage" -- and the continuing myth that these "marriages" are real and legal! On both the right and the left, prominent political journals are willfully ignoring this HUGE subject -- a significant failure by professional journalists to deal with an issue of monumental historic significance!
On the Right: Kathryn Lopez ("KLo") at National Review Online's blog (12-14-06), is once again fawning over Romney, in a specially timed and placed fluffy interview (more on that below). Apparently in line to be his press secretary (should the truth about his record never get out), she gives him every opportunity to explain away his inconsistencies on abortion and ENDA. But never presses him on his role in starting homosexual "marriage" in Massachusetts.
And over on the Left: At The New Republic, Ryan Lizza (12-15-06) points out Romney's failure to control his Governor's Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth, but focuses inordinately on "golden showers" and "fisting" discussions in the "Little Black Book". (Hmm...) He fails to mention the detailed, unassailable information we gave him on Romney's failure to uphold the Constitution and his unilateral implementation of homosexual "marriage". In the long run, the focus of this article may not be a bad thing, because the X-rated stuff Romney put kids in touch with (through his Youth Commission and his DOE's encouragement of gay clubs in the schools) is truly shocking.
More on KLo's NR interview:
This part of Romney's response -- on how he evolved on abortion from pro-choice to pro-life (at the age of 57) -- struck us, because it shows ROMNEY IS STILL NOT PRO-LIFE !
[Romney:] "But I do believe that the one-size-fits-all, abortion-on-demand-for-all-nine-months decision in Roe v. Wade does not serve the country well and is another example of judges making the law instead of interpreting the Constitution. What I would like to see is the Court return the issue to the people to decide. ... I understand there are people of good faith on both sides of the issue. They should be able to make and advance their case in democratic forums with civility, mutual respect, and confidence that our democratic process is the best place to handle these issues."
We say, NO! This is not a true pro-life position either! People should NOT vote on either the definition of marriage, or the definition of human life! Marriage is marriage, and murder is murder! Either a human fetus is a human life, or it is not. If you believe it is a HUMAN, how can we leave it up to the voters to decide whether it can be murdered? Come on, Romney. Come on, KLo -- and National Review. Romney: You're still "pro-choice" if you think the people should be given the opportunity to vote on abortion! "Let the People Vote!" -- on murder???
Also: If Romney has suddenly become pro-life in the last two years of his political career, then why did he force the morning-after pill on private hospitals just one year ago (with no conscience exemption to protect freedom of religion)?
December 7, 2005: "The state Department of Public Health has determined that Catholic and other privately-run hospitals in Massachusetts can opt out of giving the morning-after pill to rape victims because of religious or moral objections, despite a new law that requires all hospitals who treat such victims to provide them with emergency contraception."
("Private hospitals exempt on pill law," Boston Globe)
December 9, 2005 -- Flip-Flop: "Governor Mitt Romney reversed course on the state's new emergency contraception law yesterday, saying that all hospitals in the state will be obligated to provide the morning-after pill to rape victims. The decision overturns a ruling made public this week by the state Department of Public Health that privately run hospitals could opt out of the requirement if they objected on moral or religious grounds."
