The Mitt Romney Report

Right:   Flyer passed out by Romney's gubernatorial campaign workers during "Gay Pride" week, June 2002. The Romney campaign tried to disavow any knowledge of this flyer in early 2012, but 2002 campaign workers confirmed it here and here. One said, "He had a ton of gay people on his campaign in senior positions." (Since Romney continues to say he supports "gay rights," why would he want to disavow it?)

VIDEOS of Romney in his own words – Video clips of former Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney on abortion, "gay" rights, gun control, federal stimulus, illegal immigration, more.

"I will preserve and protect a woman's right to choose, and I am devoted and dedicated to honoring my word in that regard."
– Televised debate while running for Massachusetts Governor in 2002.

RomneyCare Funding FREE Abortions (March 7, 2012) — Gov. Romney signed RomneyCare into law in April 2006, after his supposed pro-life conversion, failing to veto Planned Parenthood's inclusion to set fee schedules.

How Mitt Romney brought "gay marriage" to Massachusetts – MassResistance's complete report from November 2006 with comprehensive legal analysis and many links. The Supreme Judicial Court made a ruling and suggested the Legislature revise the law. The Legislature did nothing, so Romney stepped in and ordered same-sex "marriages" to begin – essentially violating his oath of office.

On the death of Constitutional government in Massachusetts: Gov. Romney was complicit. By John Haskins, WorldNetDaily, 4/11/2005.Though their oaths of office compel them to declare the ruling null and void and to remove the four judges, the executive and legislative branches in this “separate but equal” farce clearly believe that their oaths, too, have been struck down. Gov. Mitt Romney ... while posing in the Bible Belt as a pro-family conservative, has taken to sponsoring homosexual youth parades in Boston. Chief Justice Margaret Marshall is now running the state, when she’s not fund-raising for homosexual organizations and otherwise mocking rules about judicial neutrality. Feeling powerless as governor, Romney is wondering if he can be our next president.

"Justices to be booted in Massachusetts?" WorldNetDaily, 4/12/2005. Bill seeks ouster of Massachusetts justices. WorldNetDaily, 4/24/2005. Gov. Romney refused to support this constitutional means of halting "gay marriage" but gave no reason.

Romney appoints homosexual activist Stephen Abany as district court judge. Governor's Office press release, May 2004.

A Romney campaign website brags about appointing gay judges: Romney's Judicial Nominating Commission "reached out to ... the state lesbian and gay bar association, which also has a seat on Romney's joint bar committee." The site also notes his long time support for gay rights. www.MittRomney.com, 2008 & 2012.

Example of Governor's Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth activities – Youth Pride, May 2006. Also from 2005, here and here. Your tax dollars at work, under Romney's control.

While he was Governor, Romney donated $10,000 to radical homosexual "health" group. AIDS Action Committee of Mass. – a very destructive group, publisher of notorious "Little Black Book - Queer in the 21st Century." Did Mitt Romney donate $10,000 to an organization without knowing what it does? This was four times the amount he gave to an organization promoting abstinence among teen girls, "Best Friends Foundation," in 2003.

Governor Romney issued Proclamations urging "all citizens to take cognizance of this event and participate fittingly in its observance." See his 2003 and 2004 Proclamations. He allowed their even more radical events to proceed in 2005 and 2006 (under his Commission's authority).

Read text of Romney's 2004 proclamation here (had same wording as 2003 proclamation).

This is the front page of the hardcore Boston homosexual newspaper "Bay Windows" on August 31, 1994, when Mitt Romney was running for US Senate against Ted Kennedy.  Romney had told the homosexual activists, "I'll be better than Ted Kennedy on gay rights," andhe added, "There's something to be said for having a Republican who supports civil rights in this broader context, including sexual orientation."

As you can see in the articles above, he kept his promise.

Here's how Mitt Romney filled out Planned Parenthood's candidate survey in 2002
When running for Mass. governor -- as a "moderate"

Romney told Planned Parenthood that he supports:
- Roe v. Wade
- State funding for abortions
- Requiring insurance to cover contraception
  (in principle, depending on cost)
- The "buffer zone" around abortion clinics and
   "aggressive enforcement" of it
- Sex education for kids in schools
- Increased access to emergency contraception
  (i.e., Catholic hospitals)
- and more.

Mitt Romney holds fundraiser with manufacturer of the Morning After Pill, LifeSite News, 5/18/2012. (What happened to his pro-life conversion?) A $50,000-a-plate fundraiser was held at the home of Phil Frost, executive of the company (Teva Pharmaceuticals) that makes the morning-after abortion pill.

RomneyCare Now Funding FREE Abortions: A Disqualifier for Mitt Romney’s Candidacy. By Amy L. Contrada, 3/7/2012. RomneyCare now offers free elective surgical abortions. Mitt Romney was the enabler. This is how his government-dictated health plan is playing out. And he’s still proud of it. As overall RomneyCare costs escalate, the price of abortions drops! (See Mass. Health Connector pdf, Oct. 2011: $0 copay elective surgical abortions. The $0 copay shows up as early as 2008 at the Massachusetts Health Care Connector site.)

Mitt Romney’s CPAC Speech: His Claims vs. the Truth, by Amy L. Contrada, 2/18/2012. Detail on Romney's statements and actions on government coverage of contraceptive services, "emergency contraception" (morning-after abortion pill) forced on Catholic Hospitals, and his phony abstinence education program.

Romney's lie at the Republican candidate debate (Feb. 22, 2012), denying he forced Catholic Hospitals to dispense the morning-after abortion pill, is fully exposed by the Boston Catholic Insider here and here.

"Romney's 'Flip, Flop, Flip'," by Michael Dobbs, The Fact Checker at Washington Post , 12/20/2007. Confirming Gov. Romney did order Catholic Hospitals to dispense morning-after abortion pills in late 2005.
Angus McQuilken, VP, Planned Parenthood of Mass.: "For Mitt Romney, this has been not just a flip-flop, but an extreme makeover. Where he stands on any issue is always a moving target."
Joseph M. Scheidler, founder of Pro-Life Action League: "I don't see how he can sign bills like that and say with a straight face that he is taking a pro-life position. There's no way we can accept that."

Romney's Chief Legal Counsel, Mark Nielsen, advised the Governor in late 2005 to force Catholic Hospitals to dispense the morning-after abortion pill. Nielsen was himself pro-abortion and took $12K in donations from a pro-abortion Republican group when he ran for Congress in 2000. Romney took Nielsen's advice, contrary to the law as it existed, after Romney's own supposed pro-life conversion.

The study estimates 18,000 jobs lost, $4.3 billion increase in private health insurance costs, a loss of more than a quarter-billion dollars of outside investment over the last five years, and slowed growth of disposable income. Billions of dollars of federal money "heavily subsidized" the program in Medicaid waivers. Full study here.

Learning from Massachusetts' health-care experiment. By Jim Stergios and Joshua Archambault, Pioneer Institute (Boston), Boston Herald op-ed, 3/13/2012. "...the exchange's idea of 'minimum coverage' is equal to some of the most generous plans in other states. Additionally, roughly 40 percent of the people in the exchange pay no monthly premium for insurance, while small businesses have been hit with a variety of onerous requirements. Instead of creating a market with many choices, insurance has been over-standardized and the number of available plans limited, curbing innovation in plan design."

"Confirmed: RomneyCare = ObamaCare," Michelle Malkin, 1/26/2012.

Romneycare and Obamacare Are Identical. By Betsy McCaughey, Ph.D., NewsMax, 1/29/2012. Much of this analysis refers to the extension of the original 2006 RomneyCare law, i.e. Ch. 305 (passed in 2008). This was what Romney enabled: "cost containment" (rationing).

Romneycare & Obamacare are identical: Betsy McCaughey, Ph.D and David Asman (Fox News Business Channel), 2/3/2012. 5-minute video.

Romney's Crony Capitalism Problem. By John Ransom, TownHall.com, 1/23/2012. “What motivated Romney to enact RomneyCare, as former Romney/Obama adviser Jonathan Gruber explains here,” writes Cato’s healthcare policy expert Michael Cannon, "was the widespread desire (within Massachusetts) to hang on to $385 million of federal Medicaid money that Massachusetts had secured using one of Medicaid’s notorious and fraudulent 'provider tax' scams.... When Romneycare was crafted there were people sitting around a table talking about healthcare, but they weren’t talking about cancer, or broken bones. They were talking about money."

Romney defenders can't make a good argument that RomneyCare differs significantly from Obamacare, Timothy Noah in The New Republic, 2/29/2012.

Mitt Romney's Deception: His Stealth Promotion of "Gay Rights" and "Gay Marriage" in Massachusetts

(Softcover - only $19.95 on Amazon.com.)

This well documented 640-page history has over 900 detailed footnotes.

How "Gay Marriage" Came to Massachusetts: Governor Mitt Romney's Failure in a Constitutional Crisis

E-Book – $4.95 on Amazon. Kindle Edition; can be read on any computer, IPhone, IPad, etc., with free reading apps (i.e., you do not need a Kindle device). With over 50 exclusive color photos and almost 300 detailed endnotes with live links.

The focus of these chapters is the constitutional crisis of “gay marriage” in Massachusetts (2002-2006) and Governor Mitt Romney’s lack of leadership. While candidate Romney is now pledging to appoint only strict constitutionalists to the federal bench, as Governor he unconstitutionally enforced a Massachusetts high court ruling – enabling the judicial activism he now says he opposes. Despite his claims that he did all he could to protect marriage, Romney’s failure to uphold the Massachusetts Constitution resulted in the illegal issuance of null-and-void marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Further, he had failed to support a strong, early marriage amendment proposal, and his later assurances that a constitutional amendment was sure to pass proved false.

Romney vs. Family Values: The Romney Administration's Radical Homosexual Programs Targeting Children in Massachusetts

E-Book – $4.95 on Amazon. Kindle Edition; can be read on any computer, IPhone, IPad, etc., with free reading apps (i.e., you do not need a Kindle device). With over 330 detailed endnotes with live links, and over 90 color photos.

Massachusetts has been the incubator for harmful sexual-radical programs directed at children. It was, after all, through the Governor’s Commission on Gay & Lesbian Youth that Kevin Jennings (GLSEN founder, “Fistgate” maestro, and Obama “Safe Schools Czar”) got his start in the early 1990s. Governor Romney was in reality an enabler of sexual radicals whose goal is the destruction of traditional family values. Yet, Romney claims to believe in traditional marriage and every child needing a home with a father and a mother. Also includes the real history of the Catholic Charities - homosexual adoptions fiasco, and radical training sessions in Romney's Dept. of Social Services.
