Romney had no choice but to enforce the law:

Legislators override Mass. governor's veto of emergency contraception bill

BOSTON (AP) - The state legislature voted Thursday to override the governor's veto of a measure that will expand access to emergency contraception by requiring hospital emergency room doctors to offer the medication to rape victims.

The measure, which Gov. Mitt Romney vetoed in July, will also make the medication available without a prescription from pharmacies. A provision that exempted Catholic hospitals was eventually dropped from the legislation.

The Senate voted unanimously 37-0 to override the veto. In the House, the vote was 139-16 to override, far more than the two-thirds needed.

Ever hear of moral leadership. He failed it.

Thanks for posting this information, without which there is only a partial picture. It’s clear now that Romney did oppose the legislation, vetoed it, tried to exempt Catholic hospitals when he veto was overridden, and then did what a responsible executive does when left with no legal alternative—enforce the law. Those who continue to claim he’s a flipper on this issue are being disingenuous.
