In '94 he campaigned to the LEFT of Ted "The Swimmer" Kennedy on abortion.
Mitt Romney received the endorsement of an anti-abortion group, Massachusetts Citizens For Life, in his Republican primary race for the 1994 Senate election. (Anti-abortion group endorses Romney bid, Boston Herald, September 8, 1994)
James Bopp, Jr. wrote:
mney’s conversion was less abrupt than is often portrayed. In his 1994 Senate run, Romney was endorsed by Massachusetts Citizens for Life and kept their endorsement, even though he declared himself to be pro-choice, because he supported parental-consent laws, opposed taxpayer-funded abortion and mandatory abortion coverage under a national health insurance plan, and was against the Freedom of Choice Act, which would have codified Roe v. Wade by federal statute.
“”Also, he was never a “strong” supporter of abortion.””

This is one of the videos that turned me against Romney, he actually is more convincing than Ted Kennedy in this abortion debate.
Watch how convincing, and sincere, and effective he is at establishing his pro abortion creds. It is unforgettable, when listening to him now saying the opposite, or frankly, anything about any subject.
