OP
I don't think Romney can beat Obama, but he's the toughest for Obama to beat.

I believe the only one who can beat Obama would be Romney. Paul is really batshit nuts and Santorum is so far right he'd never get more than 40% of the general vote.

This guy is sick. He wants to outlaw all abortions even when mother's life is at stake--but his own wife ended her pregnancy at 20 weeks because her life was in danger. A fetus is not viable that early. After terminating the pregnancy by delivering the dead fetus, they then took it home for two hours for their other children to "play" with and bond to....truly creepy as well as hypocritical!

Aside from the awful creepy bonding-with-dead-fetus thing, how does this NOT count as an abortion???? How can this guy go on TV and go on and on about how wrong abortion is, knowing that his wife "terminated" a pregnancy??? Is that it--as long as you say "terminate," you can do whatever you want?
