Mitt Romney delivered a speech this past week at the National Right to Life Convention in Kansas City, Missouri, that continues to mounth the evidence why a conservative of any stripe should choose him and not RINOs like McCain and Giuliani to lead this country. The full text of the speech is here. The Pendragon is proud to support him. Romney is one man who notes that a pro-life conviction underlines many important issues, not just the overturning of Roe v. Wade. The belief that life is a gift from God and should be safeguarded as much as possible bleeds into many issues. Those who find it "ironic" that pro-lifers support war in some circumstances and often the death penalty as well have not been paying attention. Life is worth protecting in the innocent child waiting to be born as well as the innocent people who sleep at night because a murderer has paid the ultimate penalty. This position believes in just war--war undertaken to prevent mass slaughter in the future and to end it in the present. It's more than just one issue--it's an entire worldview.

Comments:
A W Tozer says and I quote, "What we believe about God is the most important thing about us." Mitt Romney's belief is skewed, and that matters!
 
It certainly matters to him personally. A Presbyterian minister said on the election of Thomas Jefferson that the tragedy in J's not being a Christian was for his own soul, but that he still believed he made a better President than "an aristocratical Christian." I, for one, prize reality over appearance. We've got presidential candidates who claim some kind of Christian faith lining up who don't seem to let it inform their positions and their governing. A Mormon who acts like a Christian is a better choice than a Christian who acts like a secularist.
