I don’t know if you were watching CBS on August 27, 2012, after Romney had won the nomination, and was asked about the party’s pro-life platform, and abortion.

PELLEY: Well, the platform as written at this convention for the Republicans does not allow for exceptions on abortion with regard to the health of the mother or rape or incest. Is that where you are?

ROMNEY: No. My position has been clear throughout this campaign. I’m in favor of abortion being legal in the case of rape and incest, and the health and life of the mother.

the health and life of the mother.

So if the "mother" decides her mental health will improve if she has an abortion it is okay?

If she decides her physical health will improve when she stops having morning sickness because she terminated her pregnancy it is okay?

If she decides her social "life" will improve if she has an abortion, is it okay?

“But just two months after he switched his position on abortion, Romney nominated a Democrat who ran for the state legislature as a “pro-choice” candidate to a perch on a state district court….Matthew J. Nestor, a longtime Democrat who headed the Division of Securities under the Democratic secretary of state, was confirmed in March 2005 to serve in a lifetime post on the Somerville District Court. When he ran for a state representative’s seat as a self-described “conservative Democrat” in 1994, Nestor made clear that he considered himself “pro-choice,” according to news reports from the time.” (Rick Klein & Jake Tapper, ABCNews.com, 6/14/07) Last Quote from FR Thread
