In 2001, Romney said, in a letter to the Salt Lake Tribute, that he believes that “abortion is the wrong choice, but under the law it is a choice people have.” And in the 2002 governor’s race, Romney made clear that “on a personal basis, I don’t favor abortion,” that he opposed lowering the age at which minors could obtain abortions without parental consent to 16, and that he supported a ban on partial-birth abortions, but that, as governor, he would “protect the right of a woman to choose under the law of the country and the laws of the commonwealth.”

How about you judge for yourself.

Nothing contrary to that statment. His personal views, and views politically in a state that could not, and would not not change are different.

His actual record as governor: He vetoed an embryonic cloning bill; he vetoed a bill that would allow the “morning after pill” to be acquired without a prescription on the grounds that it is an abortifacient; he vetoed legislation which would have redefined Massachusetts longstanding definition of the beginning of human life from fertilization to implantation; and he fought to promote abstinence education in the classroom.

"As one Boston commentator observed, Romney’s “abortion statements sound as much like someone trying to wrestle with the issue as someone trying to weasel his way out of it.”

but that, as governor, he would “protect the right of a woman to choose under the law of the country and the laws of the commonwealth.”

Those were the same words Bush used when he was running but when he got a chance to nominate the right Judges for Suspreme Court Bush did that!

As Governor Romney had NO authority over the "womens right issue" one way or the other we got to use our brains much better then the "sound bite voters"!

Did not Romney say "Please do not label me pro anything?"

Personally Romney believed in the sanctity of Life, but the voters are all caught up in buzz words and as Governor Romney had no say in what the US Suspreme Coruts do!

The media is good at confusing the issue!
