"And you don't have to take my word for it, you can look at my record as governor. On every piece of legislation, I came down on the side of life. I was honored to receive the political leadership award from Massachusetts Citizens for Life in recognition of the actions I took as governor to protect life. I am grateful for the work all of you have done for years on this issue. Like Ronald Reagan and Henry Hyde, I am a convert to this cause. I have joined the fight to win the hearts and minds of others, and to work to create a culture of life." -Governor Mitt Romney's Remarks At The Family Research Council

100% Pro-Life is good enough for me. I think his position on the Constitutional Amendment is exactly right on. The Constitution was not meant to be changed without an almost complete agreement by all the states, and that is not possible with this issue. If Roe is overturned, then the issue returns to the States. I think each state would then have to ban abortion in their respective state.
Fred has this one right.

pro-lifers are going to have to compromise with a less than ideal candidate this cycle. No, what those who believe in life are going to have to realize is that the issue of abortion is best tackled at the state level and that they should step back and take a look at the possible gains (now and future) using this route vs. the likelihood of a complete reversal of Roe and subsequent federal legislative application of such through the SCOTUS and congress such as it is today.
Which action looks more achievable in the process of getting rid of high abortion rates in our land? Which action gives the most power to the voters?
