Romney Pro-Choice Again for Matter of Hours Today; Now Anti-Choice Again.
by Mets102
The formerly pro-choice Mitt Romney briefly went pro-choice again today when he told the editorial board of the Des Moines Register:
Theres no legislation with regards to abortion that Im familiar with that would become part of my agenda, the Republican presidential nominee told The Des Moines Register in an interview.
That, of course, comes after Romney's very publicly renouncing his earlier pro-choice position prior to deciding to run for president. It also conflicts with his prior statements that he would seek to appoint justices that would overturn Roe v. Wade.
In response to Mitt Romney's latest flip-flop, he flip-flopped right back with Katrina Trinko of the National Review tweeting the following:
We all knew that Mitt Romney was a serial flip-flopper who it seems changed positions at will, and cleaned his slate like an Etch-a-Sketch, but I think this sets a record even by his standards. In the span of one day he was anti-choice, then pro-choice again and then finally ended the day anti-choice again. Nice going Mitt. Next time, would you like to try and do all this in less than an hour?
If flip-flopping were an olympic sport, Mitt Romney would win the gold, silver and bronze.

As I said in another thread, this is more like the hokey-pokey than a flip-flop. n/t

Choose whatever you want to hear, and he'll whisper it softly into your ear.

Is there any way we can get this trending? This latest flip flop isn't getting much attention over on Twitter, and it could be. Enough liberal just need to latch on to this... to get this into media rotation. The MSM only seems to care about Twitter these days anymore... so this could be a nice way to Robme on the defensive... at least until Biden wins the debate Thursday night. Anything to change the current narrative...
