(Yes, this is so...Romney is pro-abortion, which shows you how sad our political situation is to know so many voted for a pro-abort who also implemented socialized healthcare upon the people)
Romney, who was a Stake President has told us that his family all became pro-choice in 1963, and that his mother ran as a pro-choice candidate for the Senate, in 1970, a fact that he is very proud of, he says.
“My position has been the same throughout my political career, and it goes back to the days of 1970,” he said. “There was a woman who was running for political office, U.S. Senate. She took a very bold and courageous stand in 1970, and that was in a conservative state. That was that a woman should have the right to make her own choice as to whether or not to have an abortion. Her name was Lenore Romney, she was my mom. Even though she lost, she established a record of courage in that regard.”
Here are some excerpts from his interview with Jan Michelson.
Mitt Romney: “Because that’s not the nature of the office I’m running for. And there are people in my Church who are pro-choice. That is not against my Church’s view to allow people to have their own positions on political issues…”
Mitt Romney: “I’m proud of my faith. There is nothing I distance myself from. There are Mormons in the leadership of my Church who are pro-choice, and they do not violate that. You’re not a lawyer, but you have to read that a little bit more carefully. For instance my Church says, that if you have sex outside marriage that you could be excommunicated. Now, do we make a law that says that? No”
Mitt Romney: “And every Mormon should be pro-life?”
Jan Mikelson: If that’s what your Church says.
Mitt Romney: “That’s not what my Church says! There are leaders of my Church who are pro-choice. You’re wrong. That’s your problem.”
