If the allegations are just lies then Mitt Romney can and should refute them. He is under no obligation to permit such libel if it is in fact untrue.
And yeah, Romney's abortion position of the past wasn't the best,
Just the opposite, according to the article his position on abortion back in the 1970's before he ran for office was great.
but I understand where he stood and why it makes this story a non-issue.
If Mitt Romney did in fact sell out his pro-life convictions to obtain office, this will be a major issue for me and I suspect many other pro-lifers.
