I vetoed a bill that the Legislature forwarded to my desk. . . . I understand that my views on laws governing abortion set me in the minority in our Commonwealth. I am prolife. I believe that abortion is the wrong choice except in cases of incest, rape, and to save the life of the mother. . . . Because Massachusetts is decidedly prochoice, I have respected the state's democratically held view. . . . You can't be a prolife governor in a prochoice state without understanding that. . . . At the same time, the starting point should be the innocence and vulnerability of the child waiting to be born. . . . In some respects, these convictions have evolved and deepened during my time as governor. . . . Roe v. Wade. . . . those who wrote our Constitution would wonder why the federal courts had peremptorily removed the matter from the authority of the elected branches of government. . . . This tells me that Romney would basically govern pro-life, especially if you take him out of Massachusetts, and that he would nominate justices who would overturn Roe v. Wade. That's good enough for me.

Sure, if you believe him. He also nominated 75% Democrats (or Democrat supporters) to the bench in Massachusetts.
I don't believe his pro-life act even for a second.
