A follow up to my post, which may be read here, regarding Steve Jobs, Adoption and Abortion. Pro-lifers have gotten some static for bringing up the fact that Steve Jobs could have ended up aborted if his mother had not chosen life for him. Well, it appears that Steve Jobs was thankful that his mother did not choose to kill him through abortion. “I wanted to meet [her] mostly to see if she was OK and to thank her, because I’m glad I didn’t end up as an abortion,” he said. “She was 23 and she went through a lot to have me.” Go here to read the rest. Adoption, it’s a choice we can all live with.

It is only a choice if we are free to chose something else as well.
Wall Street owns the country…Our laws are the output of a system which clothes rascals in robes and honesty in rags. The [political] parties lie to us and the political speakers mislead us…Money rules. Mary Elizabeth Lease, 1890
Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney has drawn suspicion from the right for his flip-flopping on abortion, but he’s not the first candidate to change his view on the issue before seeking the White House. Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Dick Gephardt and Al Gore also shifted on abortion as they set their sights on the presidency. When Romney was running for the Senate from Massachusetts against Ted Kennedy in 1994, he took a pro-abortion stance in the decidedly blue state. "I believe that abortion should be safe and legal in this country,” he said during a debate. "I believe that since Roe v. Wade has been the law for 20 years, we should sustain and support it.” Romney also was a supporter of abortion rights when he ran successfully for Massachusetts governor in 2002. But he said he had a change of heart in 2004 during the debate over stem cell research, when the governor met with experts from Harvard at his State House office. This is an interesting posture piece by this man, packaged in a way to rehabilitate his image. But Reagan's true feelings on the matter were different then this. He was like most of Hollywood and his fellow actors in supporting a woman's right to chose an abortion. He is a poor role model on this issue.
Ok Pinocchio.
Pinocchio? Got an eye for me possibly having a woody do you? I no more fib then you do when you take Mitt to task for his flip flopping. Reagan was a flip flopper on abortion. I don't believe for a second he was actually pro-life. Like Mitt, he knew how to posture. I have a long memory on this topic, and Reagan was just a mediocre politico who just pleased some like you with his acting abilities.
In 1967, then-California Gov. Reagan signed a liberal abortion law legalizing the procedure in cases where a woman’s mental as well as physical health was at risk. The number of abortions in California soared after the bill was passed, and Reagan came to regret singing it, the Times reported. By the time he ran for president in 1980, Reagan had declared his support for a constitutional amendment prohibiting all abortions except to save the life of a woman. During the 1980 campaign, Reagan’s GOP primary opponent, George H.W. Bush, opposed a constitutional amendment restricting abortion. But by the time he ran for president in 1988, then-Vice President Bush said he opposed all abortions unless the mother’s life was endangered. Oh looky, Reagan signed an abortion law into existence before posturing the other way to work on becoming POTUS. Sure sounds and acts like a Mitt Romney to me.
Sure sounds and acts like a Mitt Romney to me. I believe Reagan was genuine. Romney I'm not so sure of. Romney would be better then Obama as president. But he would still pretty much suck. So if it is Romney we could be stuck with him til 2020. We're screwed. I want Rand Paul to be president. He is the most qualified person with a chance right now. We're screwed.
Go here to read the rest. Adoption, it’s a choice we can all live with.

Ronald Reagan had a similar shift in views on the abortion issue, according to a Los Angeles Times article headlined "Romney isn’t the first to flip on abortion.”
