Hmm, he will be the first pro-choice republican nominee in a long time. I wonder how that will play.

Nice try but Romney is NOT "pro-choice."

Nice try but Romney is NOT “pro-choice.”

Uh...
From ABC...
“ Romney’s Pro-Life Conversion: Myth or Reality?
After ‘Epiphany’ on Abortion, He Named a Pro-Choice Judge and Supported Stem Cell Research” link :

Another example:

“Boston Globe reporter Sally Jacobs: “Mr. Romney, you personally oppose abortion and as a church leader have advised women not to have an abortion. Given that, how could you in good conscience support a law that enables women to have an abortion, and even lets the government pay for it? If abortion is morally wrong, aren’t you responsible for discouraging it?”

Romney: “One of the great things about our nation, Sally, is that we’re each entitled to have strong personal beliefs, and we encourage other people to do the same. But as a nation we recognize the right of all people to believe as they want, and not to impose our beliefs on other people. I believe that abortion should be safe and legal in this country; I have since the time that my mom took that position when she ran in 1970 as a U.S. Senate candidate.

“I believe that Roe v. Wade has been the law for 20 years, that we should sustain and support it, and I sustain and support that law and the right of a woman to make that choice. And my personal beliefs, like the personal beliefs of other people, should not be brought into a political campaign.”
—Senate campaign debate with Sen. Ted Kennedy.
New York Times, Oct. 26, 1994”

“As governor, Mitt Romney would protect the current pro-choice status quo in Massachusetts. No law would change. The choice to have an abortion is a deeply personal one. Women should be free to choose based on their own beliefs, not the government’s.”
—Romney campaign statement.
Deseret News, Sept. 1, 2002

There are many other examples out there, including from early 2007 after his “conversion” to life.

You my friend are falling for a line.
