Factcheck.org states that When Romney signed the healthcare regulation “RomneyCare” that abortion was not mentioned at all.
It says it was included later by the Commonwealth Connector and that even they had no choice because The state Supreme Court had ruled in 1981 that the Massachusetts Constitution required payments for medically necessary abortions as a “fundamental right” afforded to Medicaid-eligible women. It restated in a 1997 decision that the state must pay for medically necessary abortions if it pays for all other medically necessary procedures including services in connection with childbirth.
Is this true?

Is is true Romney had nothing to do with abortion being
included in Romneycare? I don’t know, if it is, there should be record of Romney taking action to try and remove abortion coverage from his plan.
Where is that? All I’ve seen, his constantly stating being for abortion to win election in Massachusetts and who could
ignore, Mitt praising his own mother for supporting abortion!
Prayers....
A lack of God’s grace, Mormons are not Christian. How
can God guide and bless this man’s decisions for our country, Obamney.
Sure, but the Romney/Mormon haters don't let the facts get in the way of a good story.
