At what point do we start considering these people as mentally ill? What is the difference between nutjobs like this, and guys who take poison to ride off into a comet's trail?

I find it ironic that these same type of "republicans" chirping about how great democracy is, yet really are trying to institute a theocracy with their beliefs governing over people.

FRPLG touched on this, I don't think it's a point of being mentally ill, it's a point of being able to square your belief system with holding elected office and some being far too rigid in their beliefs while governing (wow, we agree again...scary)

I'm Catholic, I'm against abortion. That is my personal belief. In cases of rape, incest, life of the mother it's easy to say life-is-life, it's entirely another to suggest your neice to have a baby from a rape, or your wife have a baby that could cost her life....I don't know if I could do that on a personal level, so I don't think it's fair to ask someone else to do it.

When you sign on to be a politician you have to check your personal belief system at the door to a certain extent and remember you represent all Americans. I agree with Romney's political position on the abortion issue, each state should decide, and rape, incest, life of mother should be an exception.

I don't know Romney's specific position on third trimester but I believe that should be outlawed outside of extreme cases and babies that survive an abortion attempt have to be treated as a life.
