Jim Bopp reviewed the record of Mitt Romney as Governor of Massachusetts and questioned Romney personally; concluding that Romney is firmly and sincerely pro-life before giving his endorsement (see Exclusive Interview with James Bopp on Mitt Romney).
I'm very familiar with the work of Jim Bopp and have heard him speak on four occasions at pro-life events I attended. I have great respect for his judgment on this subject. The issue of Mitt Romney's pro-life position was settled for me based on Bopp's endorsement.

Actually, I heard Romney's own testimony as to his conversation on pro-life issues. It was very believable. i was quite impressed by his sincerity. I don't know if I would actually vote for him, but that issue is pretty well cleared up in my mind.
