Mitt was never “for infanticide,” which is a different matter than abortion. He was never in favor of abortion, he took the libertarian position.

"He was never in favor of abortion, he took the libertarian position."

I think you need to see this:

In 2002, Romney responded to the National Abortion Rights Action League's candidate survey: ''I respect and will protect a woman's right to choose. This choice is a deeply personal one. Women should be free to choose based on their own beliefs, not mine and not the government's.

If by libertarian position you mean that Romney believed it should be up to the state to decide, you don't have any idea of what Romney believed. See the quote above.

If by libertarian position you mean that Romney believed that women had the absolute right to expel their children from their bodies by murder, then yes that is precisely what he believed. But contrary to your statement, he was in favor of abortion and unfortunately for the aborted children, no one asked them if they wanted to live.

Remember, in our founding document, the Declaration of Independence, the first unalienable right is the right to life.
