I’m trying (really) not to be Mitt’s second wife here in the commentariat, but… one additional problem the governor has always had on this life issue publicly is that he also is on record having advised women against abortion in his Mormon mission days. I still believe this man, besides giving the religion speech everyone expects him to give has to give a life speech, not have the issue — which I believe is important to him like it never was because of events in Massachusetts while he was governor — squeezed in with other issues and never fully addressed. He has to tell his Latter-Day Lifer story in a way that will alleviate the sense of inconsistencies fair folks like Peter have about him. And that’s something to do soonish now.
