“Romney is not perfect, but he is very good and the best candidate to defeat any democrat.”

I agree. Romney’s always stated that he’s personally against abortion, but he probably realized that as a governor (of the most liberal state in the Union), there was little he could do to overturn a Federal law. I definitely do see that there are certain aspects of his record that allowed for the continuance of the existing laws regarding abortion, but I don’t see anywhere where he tried to promote the practice. Actually, from what I have seen, he promoted a somewhat conservative approach within the boundaries of Roe vs. Wade by supporting partial-birth abortion and advocating informed consent and parental notification. No that’s not a glowing record on a national scale, but that’s a pretty darn brave and unpopular stance in such a liberal place. JMO, of course.

“by supporting partial-birth abortion...”

Crap! Correcting my earlier post. He supported a BAN on partial-birth abortion. My bad.
