Well you can believe a feminist reporter that actively supported Ted Kennedy in 1994 over Mitt if you want.

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.

Well If you have your mind made up against Romney, then why are you asking me?

I told you why he won't respond to this. One, the story is from 1994, and is not circulating. Second part of the story is about a confidential topic and by addressing it he would be violating confidentiality with a parishoner. Third, by taking the time to address the issue, one that isn't being circulated, he would be giving it attention, and thus risk the possibility that even after he explains it, people like yourself still wouldn't believe him and thus he would lose confidence with the voters.

Also Romney probably first took a serious position in 1970 (when I will remind you, he was 23, don't know too many under 23 that have serious political opinions, and this was likely his first position on the issue. (I dont believe the article states if he even had an opinion before 1970)

Thus, because he took a Pro-Choice position in 1970, he didn't sell anything out in 1994, cause he ran on the same position as he had held since he was 23.

I don't understand your confusion, seems like you are just trying to make something out of nothing.
