At the Republican Debate yesterday, Mitt Romney and Sam Brownback went head to head over abortion. Brownback attacked Romney for at one point being pro-choice (Romney now says he is very much pro-life). Romney is a bigger flip-flopper than Sen. John Kerry ever could have been accused of. I believe Mitt Romney would make a terrible president. However, I still feel he will manage to snag the Republican nomination. Anyways, my point in this post is not to discuss the debate but to single out something in a call that Brownback has been making in Iowa to attack Mitt Romney.
In the phone call to voters we hear...
"Mitt Romney pledged to support and uphold pro-abortion policies and passed taxpayer funding of abortions in Massachusetts."
My problem here is the word pro-abortion. It infuriates me. It's the Republican spin machine trying to paint not only Mitt Romney, but also, liberals and democrats as pro-abortion. There is a BIG difference between pro-abortion and pro-choice. They are NOT one in the same. I am pro-choice, the candidates for president on the Democratic side are pro-choice. No one is pro-abortion. No one likes the ideas of abortions. This clever wording is how some Republicans intend to continue to divide the nation and put false beliefs in people's heads.
