Where has Romney stated his view that he favors partial birth abortions?

Well, that's just it. When he was fully pro-abortion, I never saw any statements from him saying he was "pro-choice...except for..."

There's multiple statements of his saying he supported, was committed to, and even "sustained" Roe vs. Wade ("sustained" being the highest level of support any Mormon could give to something...given its meaning to "sustain" its "prophets")

It's not like some parallel legal door-opener existed that made partial-birth abortions "legal." Partial-birth abortions have been "legal" simply because Roe established abortion on demand all the way up thru birth.

Since all later-term abortions were legalized under the guise of "health" of the Mom, PB abortions have been committed under that guise. (And how many pro-abortion politicians have you known who have wanted to back away from being "pro-choice" to protect the alleged "health" of the Mom?)

So let me get this right. Because you can’t find anything by Romney in which he states any opinion on partial birth abortions, you believe it is accurate to claim that Romney favored PBAs?

That’s your spin?

Here is a quote from 2005:

>Romney’s core positions — personally anti-abortion, pro-parental consent, and in favor of a ban on what opponents call ‘’partial birth” abortion — haven’t changed.

So apparently Romney has always been:

* personally anti-abortion
* personally (not sure on that) pro-parental consent
* in favor of a ban on PBAs.

Amazing what Google can do, isn’t it?
