Romney campaign: Personhood a state call

[brooklynite]

Source: Politico

Mitt Romney's campaign, seeking to nip a potent general election attack in the bud, says he's being falsely characterized as supporting a proposed amendment to define a fertilized egg as a "person" that was badly defeated in Mississippi yesterday.

...snip...

The origin of this claim is Romney's response, picked up by ThinkProgress to a question from Mike Huckabee about whether he would have "supported a constitutional amendment that would have established definition of life beginning of life at conception?"

Mike Huckabee: "Would you have supported the constitutional amendment that would have established the definition of life at conception?"

Mitt Romney: "Absolutely."

So, he was against it before he was for it before he was against it. Got that?

3. I thought this was in reference to corporations again.

Geeze, so many things alive that I had never considered before. Entities created on paper and clutches of fetal cells. What's next? Personhood for hammers and kitchen chairs?

4. What about Sovereign Personhood?

:crazy:

13. LOL me too. But at least he said "corporations are people" RIGHT OUT IN THE OPEN

in Iowa last summer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2h8ujX6T0A

5. How about we give personhood to sperm, then arrest Romney for choking his chicken?

Cue Monty Python:

7. No. It is not.

8. IF this joker thinks everything should be determined at the state level, then why...

Why is he running for President? He doesn't think the President or Federal Government should have any power or control over the rest of the country, what is the attraction to the office?

10. He doesn't want to make decision let state do it for him

to avoid criticism, but he already did on the Huckabee show. He didn't expect that prop to go down so badly.

9. This is why the hardcore anti-choice crowd will stay home if he is the nominee

[julian09]

11. That and being a Mormon nt

12. Don't believe that. They hate Obama too much to stay

home.

[chelsea0011]

16. I'm not so sure about that. They're single issue voters.

That's why Santorum gets his 2-3%...all because of one issue.

17. From YOUR lips to God's ears, PLEASE!

I would love for all of those teatards and anti-choice folks to stay home on November 6, 2012!

personhood is the call of the owner of the womb it's in.

You can't have it both ways, Mitt. Either you go full tilt Sharia Law on our uppity female asses or you are going to have to admit that we deserve to have the same rights over what happens to our bodies as you do.
