From Fox News. (H/T Dad)
Excerpt:
Republican Gov. Mitch Daniels said Friday he will sign restrictive abortion legislation, making Indiana the first state to cut off all government funding for Planned Parenthood and boosting Daniels’ credentials among social conservatives as he considers whether to run for president.
Daniels said he supported the abortion restrictions from the outset and that the provision added to defund abortion providers did not change his mind. He said women’s health, family planning and other services will remain available.
“The principle involved commands the support of an overwhelming majority of Hoosiers,” Daniels said in a statement announcing his intention to sign the bill when it arrives on his desk in about a week.
[…]State Rep. Linda Lawson, a Democrat from Hammond who opposes the bill, said the legislation wouldn’t win Daniels any friends among independents and women.
I thought he was only a fiscal conservative. Oh well, I guess this is fiscally conservative.

Frankly, I’m wondering more about the guy. First, he says we need to call a truce on social issues while we deal with the economy (as if they have no connection whatsoever), and now he does this. Well, I applaud his support for cutting funding, but does he believe in it or is it strictly a political move in consideration of a possible presidential run?

I have no confidence in him as a candidate whatsoever on social issues.

He has talked a middle road on life, but in up or down votes, he’s pure red meat.

What does that mean exactly?

It means that when you look at his voting record, he always votes for life and against abortion. He talks a lot about the need to shift focus away from social issues, but his record shows him to be consistently conservative (red) when voting.
