Cliff Schecter has another thought on Mitt Romney’s newfound honesty on abortion: it’s just part of the story.
He was once pro-choice. Good of him to lie about it at first. And atribute his former position to “a family member” who died of a botched abortion. Ok, fine.
So why were you telling gay rights groups you were to the left of Teddy Kennedy on their issues? Let me guess, somebody in your family was a big fan of show tunes…Or could you have adopted both of these liberal positions in the past because you needed to win elective office in Massachusetts, and would do anything to win then, as you will do now?
What will Romney say to explain his change in his position on gay marriage? Or gun control?
Abortion is just part of the social policy spectrum that he has historically been on the wrong end of for conservatives. Is it a big part? Sure, but it’s hardly the whole story and even this new tact won’t be enough for most social conservative voters.
