Life News interviewed Bopp on his endorsement of Romney today:
Saying that former Presidents Ronald Reagan and George Bush were converts to as well, Bopp told LifeNews.com that the pro-life community "needs to be open to those who have a sincere conversion to the pro-life cause."
"When he was Governor and scientists were attempting to persuade him to support government funding of embryonic stem cell research, they said that there was no moral issue, because they destroy the embryos after 14 days," Bopp explained. "This hit him hard, how Roe v. Wade had cheapened life, and he publicly announced that he wanted to be considered pro-life."
He said a specific life-changing experience like Romney's is "persuasive."
Bopp also indicated that Romney's subsequent actions have affirmed his newfound pro-life stance.
"He vetoed the bill on embryonic stem cell research and some other efforts to liberalize the Massachusetts abortion law," Bopp said.
Ultimately, Bopp told LifeNews.com that a frank discussion of pro-life issues persuaded him.
"I have meet with him personally, discussed these issues with him and am satisfied that his pro-life position is sincere," he concluded.

Governor Mitt Romney on Today's "March for Life" Monday, Jan 22, 2007
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Kevin Madden (857) 288-6390
Boston, MA - Today, on the 34th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision, Governor Mitt Romney released the following statement commemorating the annual March For Life:
"Across this nation, thousands of Americans are gathering in their local communities and in our nation's capital to reaffirm their dedication to protecting the sanctity of life. We must create a culture of life where the weakest and most innocent among us are protected.
"While there are well-meaning people on both sides of this debate, no one can deny that when hundreds of thousands of abortions are performed every year, it should be a major concern for a nation as great as ours. If we commit ourselves to promoting a culture of life, I believe that one day our nation's laws may reflect what is in our hearts."
I'm here at the FRC bloggers event Blogs4Life . Ramesh Ponnuru is here to speak to the bloggers assembled. We have Katie Favazza, Ivy Sellers, Mary Katherine Hamm and others...

Is America Ready to Elect a Mormon President? That is a question that the media keeps bringing up, and loves to talk about. I think that if you change the question to:
In the 2008 Presidential Election, would you vote for a Mormon by the name of Mitt Romney?
I think that the answer would be yes among these categories:
People that would say or vote yes:
1: Conservative Evangelicals would say yes to a president Mitt Romney as he is the most conservative, both "Fiscally" and "Socially" of the republicans "Big 3". 2: Conservative Politicians who are not afraid of a backlash and/or threats from a certain Republican that resides in Arizona and his allies. 3: People that are Socially Moderates, but yet are Fiscally Conservative and looking for some one to clean up the Federal Governments "Super-Sized" spending. 4: People that want "Roe vs. Wade" overturned and the abortion issue sent back to the States (where it should have originally been). 5: People that want a Constitutional Amendment passed Defining marriage as between "1 male & 1 female". Of the "Big 3" only Mitt Romney can be counted on to to support a conservative Federal Marriage Amendment. While Mitt Romney sent a letter to the Senate pleading with them to vote "yes" on the FMA John McCain voted no on the FMA, and Rudy Giuliani is socially liberal.
And a "no" among these categories:
People that would say or vote no:
1: The Clinton's. 2: Pro-choice advocates. 3: Supporters of Same Sex Marriage. 4: John McCain. 5: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who is also a Mormon. 6: A few "Liberal" Mormons. 7: Liberals & Democrats.
In conclusion I believe that America is ready for a Mormon president, that is if his name happens to be "Mitt Romney"!
This was an impressive sortie in political discourse using new media as a the medium of choice. As Hugh Hewitt noted:
Romney's push-back at the YouTubing of his '94 debate with ted Kennedy --happening in rapid response fashion-- means an entire news cycle on a somewhat significant story has played out before even one newspaper reported it, with the anti-Romney forces (clearly worried about the big $ Monday and the deMint Tuesday) trying to put a stick in the spokes, and Romney's team finding a way to knock it down in the same cycle. here
In other news the new media stories describe advertising on blogs. This from MediaPost:
Gov. Mitt Romney, who announced his presidential exploratory committee last week, also ran a series of blog ads on right- and libertarian-leaning blogs, including OutsideTheBeltway.com, RightWingNews.com, the Townhall.com blog network, and Powerline.com. Romney's spokesman, Kevin Madden, said the candidate intends to run an "aggressive, innovative and integrated campaign" that will include search marketing.
Madden said that Romney hopes the blog ads will reach the most influential voters. "The effort is driven by our recognition of a very unique and motivated audience among New Media devotees," he said. "Our blog ads help reach this audience and drive traffic to our mittromney.com website and provide more information about Mitt Romney, his campaign, his ideas and how they can then in turn join our effort."
