---->>> Mitt Romney never took any pro-active steps to aid the pro-abortion agenda, like lobbying or lawyering for a pro-abortion group, for instance. And, every action Romney took while governor was in support of life.
Governor Romney was presented with legislation concerning life issues on several occasions from the 85% majority Democrat Legislature in Massachusetts. In every instance he took the pro-life position by vetoing bills or lobbying for the pro-life approach, including the following actions:
--- He vetoed the bill providing state funding for human embryonic stem cell research (Theo Emery, "Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney Vetoes Stem Cell Bill," The Associated Press, 5/27/05)
--- He vetoed a bill that provided for the "morning after pill" without a prescription because it is an abortifacient and would have been available to minors without parental notification and consent (Governor Mitt Romney, Op-Ed, "Why I Vetoed The Contraception Bill," The Boston Globe, 7/26/05)
--- He vetoed legislation which would have redefined Massachusetts longstanding definition of the beginning of human life from fertilization to implantation (Governor Mitt Romney, Letter To The Massachusetts State Senate And House Of Representatives, 5/12/05)
--- He supported parental notification laws and opposed efforts to weaken parental involvement (John McElhenny, "O'Brien And Romney Spar In Last Debate Before Election," The Associated Press, 10/29/02)
--- He fought to promote abstinence education in public school classrooms with a program offered by faith-based Boston group Healthy Futures to middle school students. Gov. Romney's administration was the first in Massachusetts to use federal abstinence education funds for classroom programs.

--- Governor Romney: "Times of decision are moments of great clarity. Before I was Governor, the life issue was just that, an issue. But when responsibility for life or ending life was placed in my hands, I made the right decision. I chose life." (Governor Mitt Romney's Remarks At The National Right To Life Convention Forum, June 15, 2007)
Sorry. You don't get to make the rules.
Pro-choice and pro-abortion are one in the same. John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, Bill Clinton are all examples of pro-choice politicos, AKA. pro-abortion. They also support Roe v Wade. The fact you want to redefine what abortion means, clearly shows your willingness to substitute truth for falsehoods.
"I RESPECT and will protect a woman's right to choose. . . . Women should be free to choose based on their own beliefs, not mine and not the government's."
~~~ Mitt Romney to NARAL, April 2002
"[A]s Governor of the Commonwealth, I will protect the right of a woman to choose under the law of the country and the laws of the Commonwealth."
~~~ Gov Mitt Romney, 2002
Romney In 2002 NARAL Questionnaire: "I respect and will protect a woman's right to choose. This choice is a deeply personal one ... Women should be free to choose based on their own beliefs, not mine and not the government's."
"On A Questionnaire Planned Parenthood Gave To The Gubernatorial Candidates In 2002, Romney Answered `Yes' To The Question, `Do You Support The Substance Of The Supreme Court Decision In Roe V. Wade?'"
Romney During 1994 Debate: "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 US Senate candidate. I believe that since Roe v. Wade has been the law for 20 years we should sustain and support it."
