There is no flip-flip. His views on abortion at the time were that of most Americans. I couldn't disagree more.

Watch Romney in 1994 and 2002 and reconcile that with the views of "most Americans." He was a radical pro-abortion campaigner, and he continued his views from the 1970s through to 2005, just a few months before he started up his presidential campaign in earnest.

We're not talking about a John Kerry flip-flop here

Agreed. Romney makes Kerry look steady like a rock.

the guy is literally a Saint.

Literally? He's been canonized?

"He was a radical pro-abortion campaigner,"

Wow, I have to see the proof of that!

Yes, the old YouTube canard. He said that abortion should be safe, legal, and rare (which was the consensus at the time in America) and that his personal beliefs shouldn't be imposed on others. Funny, but I didn't hear anything about supporting partial-birth abortions or taxpayers funding abortion (I gotta give Teddy credit though - he nailed Romney with that "multiple choice" zinger).

Sorry, I don't see a flip-flop, just someone who followed the herd at the time but realized how wrong he was.
