Imagine that, someone in politics that wants to not teach children how to have sex based on the fact that they are too young. Someone who thinks that children not having sex is a good way to the spread of sexually transmitted disease among children.

How refreshing, a politician who is not a pervert at heart. And ground breaking even!

"The governor is personally opposed to abortion, supports parental consent laws, and he is in favor of the ban on partial-birth abortion," Fehrnstrom said. ''He also said he would not change the status quo on abortion in Massachusetts, and neither add nor subtract from those laws, and he hasn't.'"

It sounds that he is doing some positive things for pro-life by promoting more abstinence education, parental consent laws, and the partial-birth abortion ban. However, he also claims to be "personally opposed" to abortion which leads me to believe he supports the abortion option for other women. It also seems he is keeping all the current abortion laws in tact. Planned Parenthood believed him to be pro-choice in 2002, and he answered a questionaire claiming he was. It seems to me that he is swinging right in order to get the conservative vote. Although, the right to life organizations still do not support him:

"Marie Sturgis, legislative director of Massachusetts Citizens for Life, said she hasn't detected any change in Romney stance. The group considers Romney to be an abortion-rights supporter, as do national antiabortion groups such as the Family Research Council."
