Romney vs. O'Brien on Pro-Life Endorsement

By W. James Antle, III on 8.5.11 @ 9:01AM

Here is the abortion exchange between Mitt Romney and Shannon O'Brien I mentioned in my column this morning. Romney denies seeking, accepting or even acknowleding the Mass. Citizens for Life endorsement while being criticized by O'Brien, who (Romney correctly notes) herself flipped from pro-life to pro-choice on abortion.

say good bye Mitt.... Did he really say that if a parent does not allow the abortion then the child of that parent can go to a judge? Did I really hear that??

He is perfectly consistent: he has always believed he ought to be President.

The RINO-CINO's are preparing to elect The RINO-CINO, Mittens Romney.

I hope the Mass. pro-lifers get their question on the ballot. It would be unprecedented comedy if Romney were the eventual nominee; I am sure the Democrats in the state will do what they can to see that it gets on the ballot, while no doubt, Romney's people, what is left of them, will try to keep it off--there's some journalism for you, Mr. Antle.

While I disagree with Romney's views during this exchange, you must admit he deftly handled O'Brien in that debate. How refreshing it is to see Romney with such clear conviction... now if he could just see his way to explaining his current positions...

(also, does O'Brien's forced smile make her see "w"itchier?
