Mormons are trained as missionaries at the MTC (Missionary Training Center) to tell you what you want to hear. And so it is now with Mitt Romney and murdering the unborn.

But Mormonism does not teach that life begins at conception. Rather, Joseph Smith taught that the fetus isn’t alive until it kicks. That’s when the “spirit baby” from the Mormon “pre-existence” comes to inherit the body. This is consistent with (current) Mormon theology.

Like Mormonism, the blog isn’t what it seems.

Jeff, the compromises Mitt Romney did NOT make as governor, i.e. all the pro-abortion legislation he vetoed during his term, more than overshadow a compromise made to pass the most innovative market-oriented health care plan this nation has seen yet. Your characterization of it as “socialism” is grossly misleading. In short, the compromise you speak of is the mark of a judicious leader and should not raise doubts about Mitt’s commitment to the pro-life movement. Unlike his situation in Massachesetts, he won’t be the only pro-lifer in Washington.

Jeff, we will see what compromises, if any, I decide Iâ€™m willing to make if he becomes the nominee. I will have to weigh out whether its worth a vote to stop who that nominee runs against.

No doubt. The general election is a whole ‘nother ball of wax. The question of the day is what compromises are you willing to make in the primary?

Also Jeff, are you pro-life?

Oh, and a newsflash for all you friends of Mitt: Socialism still doesn't work.

Right now, I donâ€™t think I can trust him. We will see how it all goes.

Out of curiousity, what could conceivably happen that would make him trustworthy?

The provision for abortion in his health care plan was a condition of the liberal congress in order to get it passed. It was not part of his original plan.

The problem most people have, Jon, is that he was willing to make such compromises. If he were to become President, he would face large voting blocs that strenuously support the pro-choice position. Would he fight them or take the path of least resistance again?

You can put together a youtube montage of just about anything to make anybody look like a flip-flopper. The truth is that Mitt Romney, as a member of the LDS church, always believed that abortion was morally wrong (as Giuliani does) and changed his mind about whether or not to legislate his personal morality (as Giuliani has not). So to say that “he had a discussion with an anonymous Harvard doctor wherein he discovered abortion was morally wrong” is inaccurate, because he already knew it was morally wrong. But, since he had already conceded to his constituency that he wouldn’t overturn any existing laws, he did the honorable thing and kept his word. However, as his record proves, he opposed all further efforts to expand Mass. abortion laws. The provision for abortion in his health care plan was a condition of the liberal congress in order to get it passed. It was not part of his original plan.

Mitt Romney changed his mind on abortion. His change of mind was sincere. So was Reagan’s. Would that the pro-life movement have more converts like them!
