On December 8, 2005 Romney reversed the legal opinion of his own State Department of Public Health, instructing all Catholic hospitals and others to provide the chemical Plan B “morning after pill” to rape victims. He was quoted as saying, ““I think, in my personal view, it’s the right thing for hospitals to provide information and access to emergency contraception to anyone who is a victim of rape.”
...
When Romney was asked in the debate if he had required Catholic hospitals to provide emergency contraception to rape victims and had infringed on Catholics’ rights, he responded, “No, absolutely not. Of course not.” That was untrue.
When Romney said “for the Catholic Church to provide morning-after pills to rape victims…was entirely voluntary on their part”, that was also untrue.
For him to suggest to the citizens of the United States on national television that Cardinal O’Malley and the Catholic Church would “voluntarily” provide morning-after pills is an egregious misrepresentation of Catholic Church teachings and an egregious misrepresentation of what actually happened in this situation.
BCI hopes that the media and other candidates call him out on this.

It would be easier to ask: “has Romney ever told the truth about anything?”
Aside from the fact that mitt the twit is a lying sac-o-$h!t, let’s put a stop to this infuriating fiction that these are “debates”. They are staged beauty contests where we stupidly allow the GOP elite and the other side’s propagandists to set the agenda and questions.
Romney is a liar...a brazen, bald faced liar. He doesn't care if you and I know it either, because he knows the vast majority of voters don't know it and believe him and will never know he's a liar because the msm is behind him. Now. Just like John McCain, they'll turn on him with gusto if he comes out of the convention as our nominee.
Did Romney lie: err, was his mouth open?
When you read through it, it’s clear, he’s a liar and he caved. He seems to have a pattern of dodges where he claims that his hands were tied by the courts or the legislature. It seems pretty clear in the details here, that he actively removed the religious protection. And he’s going to get rid of Obamacare? Sure. I won’t vote for him. Hear that Hugh Hewitt? I won’t.
For the record, a breakdown (it will sound familiar):

Maybe someone from the area will give us a view on the situation and how it went down.
He knows Fox and the rest of the Country Club media will cover for him.
Pray for America
The silence on this issue is deafening. Romney = Obama.
