Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney has kept a shocking family abortion secret from his pro-life supporters! The White House hopeful was left devastated when a beloved relative died after undergoing a botched backstreet abortion The National Enquirer exclusively learned. Ann Keenan, the younger sister of Romney’s brother-in-law, died at age 21 after contracting a fatal infection following an illegal abortion in 1963, and political insiders say the tragedy had a profound effect on the future politician. Romney was just 16 at the time, and other than referring to Ann as a “dear, close family relative,” he has never identified her publicly or discussed her death in detail. A GOP source revealed that Romney actually became pro-choice after Ann’s death. “Mitt was absolutely crushed over the tragedy. Because of it, even though he was personally against abortion, he became convinced the procedure should be made safe, and the only way for that to happen was for it to be legal.” Romney stuck to that pro-choice position when he challenged then-Sen. Ted Kennedy for a Massachusetts Senate seat in 1994, but Romney flip-flopped to a pro-life stance before launching his bid for the presidency, and now aides fear President Barack Obama will zero in on the tragedy as the election campaign heats up. “There is no doubt that this issue will come up in a debate with Obama, and it could be a game changer,” a political insider told The Enquirer. “Mitt will defend his pro-life position to the hilt, but his political opponents will no doubt claim he only changed his stance to appeal to the party base. There’s a very real concern in his camp that he could be pushed into a corner over this.” The 65-year-old candidate’s campaign has refused to identify Ann, who was from Detroit, Mich. Her older brother Loren married Romney’s elder sister Margo Lynn in the late 1950s. Ann passed away on Oct. 7, 1963, following what her death certificate described as a “recent criminal abortion.” But even some of her closest friends didn’t know how she died. “The circumstances of Ann’s death were kept quiet because Mitt’s father George Romney was then governor of Michigan,” said the source. “But Mitt was touched personally by the death of someone who risked her life by having a back room abortion a decade before Roe vs. Wade gave women the legal right to undergo the procedure.” For more details about Mitt’s bombshell family abortion secret pick up the new issue of The National Enquirer on newsstands Thursday.

And????? What's the point?
The point is to make mcRomney look bad, so o'Bungler will look *better,* and get re-elected. As if it really matters:
So "no significant difference.", eh? Didn't Obama get a lot more than Romney? So did you drop out of high school or junior high?
You lost me there. Of course, most businesses will donate heavily to both parties when the feds have regulations over them. Who would you pick to run your business? Obama or Romney Putting all the non relevant trivia aside, it's a race between those two to run the business that is america.
Their total take: Obama: 1,013,091+808,799+736,771+532,674+512,232 = 3,603,567 Obama get 3.6M, Romney gets 810K. Obama gets 4.44 times as much as Romney from the same firms. Capitalist Eric's graphic (stamped with OpenSecrets.org for cred): "No Significant Difference." Notice the period. They're serious that the donations establish equality of support between the two candidates when, in fact, one candidate getting 5 times as much money as the other from Wall Street fatcat bankers seems like a "significant difference" to me. And all other persons with an IQ above room temperature. Well, it wouldn't be Doctor Eric, that's for sure.
You know what's going on with public education these days - even most private education. If a math teacher asks a student the difference between $3.6M and $810K, it's just too hard to figure out. Zero is always the default answer.
TC is playing the standard disinfo tactics- trying to latch onto some minor detail, to obscure the point I continue to make. And the point is that the two "electable" candidates are bought-and-paid-for, by the *same* crooks. The detail of how cheaply they can be bought is moot. One's a two-bit whore, the other wants a dollar. Does the *price* really matter? I say "no," the SHEEPLE say "yes." As I said, standard disinfo tactics. Nothing more.
That one candidate is funded five times more heavily by the main Wall Street banking/investment firms is not a "minor detail". Nor is your posting of blatant Lefty propaganda. The donors on Wall Street obviously think so. And some low-rent poster on an obscure forum like LF probably doesn't matter a whit. You've got opinions on politics; they spend millions on politics.

LOL. They're both whores, and you KNOW it. You're bandying semantics. Nor is your posting of blatant Lefty propaganda. Ahhhh, I see... Another "Lesser of Two Evils" type, eh? We've already had an article discussing this con-game. It's perfect for moral cowards and government parasites. So, which one *are* you? That you play the L vs. R false paradigm, surprises me not at all. It's just more theatrics to fool the stupid, the sheeple and the parasites. So, which one *are* you? And as a final note, falling back to the implication that this forum doesn't matter, thus my "wannabe" comments don't matter, is a standard logical fallacy used in high- school debating... And a clear example of desperation. Thanks for the laughs. This was fun. ;)

Romney: 367.200+199.800+112.250+73.750+57.050 = 810,050
