Mitt Romney is a silver-spoon mulit-millionaire but is going around telling people he's middle-class. Romney bashed Obama's Harvard education, but he has two degrees from Harvard and his three sons have degrees from Harvard.

[Erik Schneider]

When Ted Kennedy said that Mitt Romney "isn't Pro Choice but Multiple Choice on abortion". He summed up what Mitt Romney was then as a Senate Candidate. But also what he is today as a politician.

[Owen Rodgers]

Romney didn't bash Obama's Harvard education. He only pointed out that Obama has a Harvard education. Obama doesn't adamantly talk about his Harvard education to suck up to the majority of his supporters, the black population. 93 percent of African-American voters voted for Obama. If you don't believe that, maybe you should do some research on that, and before the next time you open your mouth or keyboard.

He's more machine than man really...

I see what you're saying, but for millions of years, the majority of humans have been born into much more stressful environments, with even less prepared parents and absolutely no home, we probably would've become extinct at one point if everyone who lived in a stressful environment aborted their child. I think we should really focus on contraception at this point (although you could argue its immorality), and start to completely faze out abortions except for cases of rape and incest.

Also, I'm not trying to imply that people don't appreciate the value of their own lives and births, but for me, for my children, I would rather they die as embryos than to be born to stressed out, underpaid, unprepared parents that don't have good home lives/ living situations. Other women might feel different, they might feel like having their baby is worth the struggle and the relying on government assistance, or being trapped with abusive partners. Everyone should get to decide for herself.

[NovemberRainLove]

Everyone's morals are different. In my opinion, it's better to have a child when I'm ready than to have one when I'm young and poor and have no education or resources.

[Victoria Mihanovic]

Yep, still as annoying as he is today..

[et720]

Yeah you're right, but the real question is: Is it morally right? Is it an ethical thing to do? Is terminating a pregnancy justified merely because of a cost/benefit analysis? I'm not trying to be a troll, this is just something I've thought about a lot and haven't figured it out yet. P.S. I'm not religious and I don't believe religion should play a role in deciding what is morally right and wrong.

[Onchei]

I think it's safe to say we're seeing him wavering on that.
