Last I heard, his position was to allow abortion to "save the life of the mom," not "the health of the mom."
Which is a huge difference. I don't personally see how any reasonable person can oppose abortion when the alternative is that the mother will die, and in many such cases the baby will also die. Sometimes very unpleasant decisions must be made. No good option.
Given how many times it's changed, I wonder if Romney knows what his present position is.
Obviously, if "life of the mother" were the law there would suddenly be a massive outbreak of pregnancy situtation requiring the baby to be aborted to save the life of the mother. But that wouldn't make the law wrong, only those who misused it.
With all due respect, Sherman, you don't keep up on Romney, do you?
Starting late August -- with the CBS interview Romney did -- he began running back toward the center-left with this comment:
"My position has been clear throughout this campaign," Romney said. "I'm in favor of abortion being legal in the case of rape and incest, and the HEALTH and life of the mother."

Now, Mitt, you, Sherman, me, and a whole host of pro-lifers indeed make a distinction 'tween "health" of the mother and "life" of the mother. If there was no distinction, Romney, wouldn't have mentioned both. (He knows there's a huge difference!)
Not sure how you missed this, Sherman...Made FR: Romney says abortion's legal for women's HEALTH
