Romneycare! Get your $50.00 Taxpayer Subsidized Abortions Here!
By Tricia Erickson, author, “Can Mitt Romney Serve Two Masters? http://rwnetwork.net/Tricia_Erickson
While rhetorician Mitt Romney charms his way through the 2012 Presidential Campaign, he is banking that you will believe what he “says” and not look to what his record demonstrates.
Pardon the history lesson here, but isn’t this how we got Barack Obama? If he speaks well (and Mitt does), is attractive (and Mitt is), and comes across as “the one” who can save us all (and he does), he’s electable. Nothing more to see here, move along.
Let us ignore his abysmal economic record in the state of Massachusetts in which under his governorship, his state placed third highest in population loss in the country and also was in the bottom three in job creation, only above post Katrina Louisiana and Michigan. In the same vein, let’s also ignore his social issues such as his fathering of gay marriage to America as he enacted same-sex marriage with no law in place requiring him to do so.
You see, when you listen to rhetoric versus digging for the facts on a candidate, you may very well be lead to a mistaken conclusion. And the conclusion on life is a strong reason to either vote against, or for, Mitt Romney.
When it comes to the issue of life, maybe Republicans, Independents, Christians and pro-life Democrats have something to hang their hats on in order to draw the line to say no to Romney.
Mitt Romney signed in to law $50.00 taxpayer subsidized co-pay abortions as a part of a healthcare benefit under his signature accomplishment, Romneycare. Thus, if you are against abortion and you are in the state of Massachusetts, you are funding it because there are no exceptions. Could this be one of the reasons for the mass exodus of citizens leaving the state?
Let’s review the record:
Ø On his 1994 campaign flyer, Romney lists “Retain a woman’s right to choose” as one of his foremost matters.
Ø In 1994 the Boston Globe also reported Romney’s stance on the RU-486 abortion pill, quoting Romney as saying “I would favor having it available”.
Ø During a debate in 1994, Romney stated “I believe that abortion should be safe and legal in this country”. He further stated “I believe that since Roe v. Wade has been the law for 20 years we should sustain and support it”.
Ø Romney claimed in 2005 that while he was running for governor in 2002, was “personally pro-life” yet still had a pro-life “conversion” in 2004.
Ø After his pro-life conversion based on embryonic stem cell research, Mitt stated that such research does not destroy human life, even though he believes life begins at conception and continued to support such research.
Ø Instituted a health care program in Massachusetts that includes a $50 co-pay for abortion at taxpayer’s expense, after his "pro-life conversion”.
Ø Gave Planned Parenthood an instrumental role on the payment policy board in his Massachusetts healthcare plan, after his "pro-life conversion”.
Ø Appointed a pro-choice judge, Matthew Nestor, to a lifetime appointment on a Massachusetts court, after his "pro-life conversion”.
If Mitt Romney truly had a conversion to the pro-life position, should not his judicial appointments reflect it? Furthermore, Governor Romney did not fill his additional judicial vacancies when leaving office, unreservedly leaving his liberal predecessor with the honor of making the appointments. If Mitt Romney was even as much as a casual conservative, this dereliction to preserve life in these appointments is completely impeachable.
Even more striking is the claim by MassResistance.org, a website that highly documents the Romney record. According to MassResistance, “Notes taken by key leaders of the nation’s most radical pro-abortion group, the National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL), reveal that at a 2002 meeting, Romney assured them he would work to soften the GOP stance on abortion and said that the GOP’s pro-life position was ‘killing them’.”
Conveniently, right before he was gearing up for a presidential run and needed national Republican support, Romney would have a conversion moment and suddenly become pro-life after claiming to examine the stem cell research issue. You do the math.

About the contributor/author:
New Book! Former Mormon Bishop’s Daughter and Political CommentatorReveals Real Story on Mitt Romney!
Tricia Erickson was the first Damage Control/Crisis Management Specialist in the country, as stated by Barbara Walters on the show "20/20". Tricia is also a political consultant andon-air contributor. She has opined on many local and national news and entertainment TV and radio shows/networks. She is also the author of the new book “Can Mitt Romney Serve Two Masters? The Mormon Church Versus The Office Of The Presidency of the United States of America.”
Tricia purposely became less active on-the-air in recent years and has not necessarily sought to participate in on-air interviews. However, because of the concern in her heart that for the first time in history, a prominent Mormon could achieve the Office of the Presidency, she feels a responsibility to educate the public, both in the US and abroad,regarding what this potential Mormon President could truly mean for America. She is an expert on the well-masked cult of Mormonism and a former Mormon Bishop’s daughter who left the church in her early 20’s.
From a political stand point, she believes it is imperative to reveal the facts on Romney’s political record, in opposition to what the Romney camp will shift the voters to believe in order to achieve the Presidency.
We have by now experienced with the current President Obamawhat smooth words and entertainment imagery, as opposed to substance, can bring to the highest office in the land. Will we make the same mistake again?
Side note: Some of the issues Tricia has been called to speak to in the past are the dangers of Radical Islam, Barack Obama,Mitt Romney, Mormonism, all things political, the imaging-posturing-positioning of Presidential Candidates, the culture wars and more.

Either You Are, Or You Aren't a Renaissance Woman!
A renaissance woman is someone who sets her own agenda for personal achievement and will not allow herself to be manipulated or intimidated by self-proclaimed spokesmen who try and wrap their political philosophies around terms like "equality," "choice," "peace," "tolerance" and "diversity." She understands that she has been created for such a time as this and embraces her destiny as a challenge and not a curse, no matter what her personal circumstances. She is a winner not a whiner, a leader not a follower, a victor, not a victim. She wants to change the paradigm of the feminist movement that has served to marginalize and ridicule women who do not follow their collective agenda.
Millions of women around the country, from all professions, backgrounds and cultures, are courageously picking up the mantel of leadership and virtue, that the feminist movement has squandered. They are providing thoughtful and accurate analysis, on a variety of issues, of where, and who we are as a nation.
Remember, this is not a club. It is a mindset!
