Mitt Romney said Tuesday that “there’s a lot more to being pro-life beyond appointing conservative justices.”“That, I will do,” promised Romney. “I like (Supreme Court Chief Justice John) Roberts and (Justice Samuel) Alito, I like (Justice Clarence) Thomas and (Justice Antonin) Scalia. I like that kind of thinking on the bench, and that’s the kind of justice I will appoint.” … “You also have decisions as an administration on things like abstinence education, on the morning-after pill, on teaching kids to wait before they have babies, on insisting on parental responsibility for a father who has an out-of-wedlock child. These policies are also important, and will become a major part of my effort to encourage a culture of life rather than the culture of death.”
Neither of those answers — and his latter-day record — are small things. He’s gotten a lot of understandable “flip-flop” grief, but if he gets that all — which I think he may — it’s no small thing.
