Just picking one since we’ve discussed them all, the “assault weapons ban” he signed was actually a pro-gun legislation backed by the NRA and the local GOA. It gave the people of Mass. MORE access to guns, not less.
Of course, states are required by federal law to include abortion in medical plans. Further, almost everybody, including pro-lifers, support SOME abortions (I know that there are some avid pro-lifers who would require a mother to die rather than allow an abortion, but they are a distinct minority).
I would expect that for those pro-lifers who would allow abortion to save a mother’s life, they would expect medical insurance paid for by the mother to cover that procedure — if the mother wanted to purchase such insurance.
the Mass. court instituted gay marriage, and the legislature refused to overturn that ruling, and now the legislature has gone even further. Short of simply resigning so the next governor could institute the law, there was nothing Romney could do on that he didn’t do to stop gay marriage.
Romney sure thought he was banning "assault" weapons. Here's his public statement from the day he signed the bill:
"Deadly assault weapons have no place in Massachusetts. These guns are not made for recreation or self-defense. They are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people." - Mitt Romney, July 01, 2004
