That was Fred’s position as well on abortion — rape, incest, life of the mother, allow states to decide.

That was in 2005, and Romney now supports the Human Life Amendment, which would not actually take the decision from the states, but would limit their options to a great extent.

Huckabee said he was for changing the constitution, but then he said he was not, or that the HLA would never pass anyway so people shouldn’t worry about his statement about re-writing the constitution so it matches the Bible.

That's totally inconsistant with the concept that the unborn are persons with a constitutional right to Life. If the unborn were not persons, but say a vestigial organ, like an appendix, I'd be the most pro-choice person in the world. This equivocation reveals a total misunderstanding of the pro-life position and a fundimental flaw in philosopy.
