:''[[Abortion Betrayals]]''
A '''PLINO''' politician, which stands for "[[Pro-Life]] In Name Only," is a politician who campaigns and is elected by claiming to be pro-life, but then quietly obstructs the passage of pro-life laws or otherwise fails to pass them. Examples would include committee chairmen who fail to schedule hearings on a pro-life bill, or leaders of legislative bodies who fail to call for a floor vote.

Many state politicians in [[Georgia]] were elected during the [[2010 Midterm Elections]] by claiming to be pro-life, yet it did not pass a single pro-life law before adjourning for the year in 2011. This occurred despite a rapidly increasing rate of [[abortion]] in Georgia. 2012 Presidential candidate [[Mitt Romney]] was effectively a RINO and PLINO; Romney espoused pro-choice positions until he ran for President to appeal to the more conservative base in the Republican primaries in a largely unsuccessful attempt to attract religious evangelicals.
