WASHINGTON -- Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has refused to sign a pledge being circulated by a pro-life group, citing concerns with the language used in the pact.
Romney, a spokeswoman said, is concerned that the pact could block some federal funding from going to hospitals and would restrict his ability to appoint Cabinet members in his administration.
"Governor Romney pledged in the last campaign that he would be a pro-life president and of course he pledges it today. However, this well-intentioned effort has some potentially unforeseen consequences and he does not feel he could in good conscience sign it," Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul told The Huffington Post.

It’s a crappy pledge. It includes a promise to sign on to grossly immoral, blatantly unconstitutional legislation. I wouldn’t sign it.
And Romney still sucks.
Any candidate who would sign this phony pledge doesn’t have a clue what it means to be pro-life.
Romney = pro choice?
Just one of many reasons to NOT support this RINO piece of crap/
Didn’t Cain refuse to sign too? That was disappointing.
Did he give an explanation?
