Rick Snyder Dodges Pro-Life Question, But Says He's Pro-Life

A few weeks ago I pondered a very important conservative issue in this post: Is MI GOP Gubernatorial candidate Rick Snyder a pro-abort? Not having so much as even met Rick Snyder yet, the indirect evidence was to say the least disturbing, albeit not 100% conclusive. Indirect evidence from that prior post:

His adviser, pro-abort John Weaver, is to McCain what Rove was to Bush, and left the GOP for a time to be a Democrat adviser

Weaver and his other adviser, John Yob, tend to only work for pro-abort 'moderates'

Snyder gave money to John Dingell (D), who is a big pusher of ObamaCare that includes taxpayer funded abortions, on several occasions

Snyder gave money to IMP-PAC,a group that can be boiled down to a single primary issue - abortion-on-demand in the GOP platform

I haven't gotten to ask Snyder about the abortion issue yet, but someone got to ask him a related question just the other day at a Rick Snyder townhall in Ann Arbor. The results unfortunately are mixed. From AnnArbor.com: Gubernatorial candidate Rick Snyder tells Ann Arbor crowd Michigan needs a nerd. I'll just cut to the chase on the pro-life issue:

More below the fold...

A man who identified himself as a devout Catholic asked Snyder his opinion on when life begins. Snyder responded social issues are not on his agenda, but acknowledged he is pro-life and pro-family.

What bothers me is that he didn't answer the question directly or indirectly, but yet asserted to be pro-life. That term, has lost a lot of its meaning when certain people utter it, with the best recent example being Bart Stupak who both voted for the pro-abortion ObamaCare bill and then voted against his own pro-life amendment when it came time to vote on recommitting the entire bill. AnnArbor.com put up this single video from the townhall:

There was also a mention of Snyder claiming to be 'green,' something I have blogged on extensively because of the scientific merits, or lack thereof, of that movement. But that's entirely for a different post. On the pro-life issue though, I'm unconvinced and will continue to seek answers here.
