By Kasie Hunt Associated Press

SHELBY TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said Tuesday that President Barack Obama’s administration has “fought against religion” and sought to substitute a “secular” agenda for one grounded in faith. Obama’s campaign seized on the characterization, calling Rom- ney’s comments “disgraceful.” Romney rarely ventures into social issues in his campaign speeches, but people participating in a town hall-style meeting one week before the Michigan primary asked how he would protect religious liberty. “Unfortunately, possibly because of the people the president hangs around with, and their agenda, their secular agenda — they have fought against religion,” Romney said. The Obama campaign linked Romney’s remarks to recent comments by rival Rick Santorum, who has referred to Obama holding a “phony theology” only to say later that he wasn’t attacking Obama’s faith but the president’s environmental views. “These ugly and misleading attacks have no place in the campaign and they provide a very clear contrast with what President Obama is talking about: how to restore economic security for the middle class and create jobs,” said Lis Smith, an Obama campaign spokeswoman. Religious liberty has been a leading topic in recent weeks because of the Obama administration’s mandate that insurance companies provide free birth con- trol even to people employed by church-affiliated organizations, including schools and hospitals. Opponents frame the debate as one of religious liberty while pro- ponents of the mandate say it’s about women’s health and access to contraception. Romney hasn’t faced voters or reporters very often since Santo- rum’s surge and the rise of social issues in the campaign, largely avoiding questions on the subject. But he’s clearly focused on the conservative Republican base that’s still skeptical of him, calling him- self “severely conservative” during a speech to activists in Washing- ton earlier this month. And his lengthy, detailed answer Tuesday on religious liberty showed clear attention to the issue. Romney implicitly invoked his own Mormon faith, also rare for the former Massachusetts gov- ernor. He said Tuesday that he cares about the issue because he is “someone who has understood very personally the significance of religious tolerance.” He also took questions on gay marriage, Supreme Court appoint- ments and abortion — and when asked about whom he might select as his vice presidential running mate, he listed “pro-life” as the first credential he would look for. Romney faces an unexpect- edly difficult fight in Michigan, his native state and a place where his advisers had long assumed he could do well. He’s facing a tough challenge from Santorum, who has excited the GOP base with strong anti-abortion rhetoric and appeals to blue-collar voters. “I care about Michigan. This is personal for me,” Romney said. Romney left Michigan for Ari- zona, where he’s set to debate his GOP rivals tonight. Then he will return to Michigan on Friday to deliver a major economic speech at Ford Field, the NFL football stadium in downtown Detroit.

In September 2011, it was Mis- soni for Target. Later in November, it was Versace for H&M. Now the spotlight is on Jason Wu for Target. Earlier this month, Wu’s line for Target was officially available at stores and online. The last time Target released a collection by a couture designer, Target.com crashed. This time, however, the release of Wu’s collection did not harm the website. “We have so many fans from a younger generation that cannot yet afford Jason Wu but pay attention to what we do,” Wu told USA Today. “It also shows my range as a designer that I’m able to design for two spectrums of the market.” Wu is famously known for designing Michelle Obama’s white, one-shouldered gown for her husband’s inauguration celebration. The first lady was even spotted wearing the sleeveless, chiffon navy dress from Wu’s Target collection. The designer may have been born in Taipei, but he lived in one of the world’s fashion capitals — Paris. His collection for Target, coincidentally, was the idea of an American girl in Paris. Wu also had a muse for his col- Courtesy Photo lection, a black cat named Milu. Fashion designer Jason Wu has recently released a new collection at Target stores across the country.

Lady Bears smite Demons By Tyler Alley Sports Editor

Baylor softball took both games of its doubleheader Tuesday against Northwestern State at Get- terman Stadium. Junior left-handed pitcher started the first game and pitched a complete game one-hitter with 13 strikeouts. She struck out each Demon hitter at least once. “I felt pretty good about [my pitching] after Sunday,” Canion said. “I had a rough day there throwing a lot of balls. Really just worked on all my pitches and got my screwball back that I was miss- ing the other day so I was happy about that.” The Lady Bears won the game 3-0. Junior center-fielder Kathy Shelton provided all the offense for the Lady Bears with three runs bat- ted in. The first run came in the second inning when Shelton was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. The other two runs came in the fourth inning.
