“Romney, a Republican and the former Winter Olympics chief, was endorsed by the New York-based Republican Pro-Choice Coalition. He mentioned his mother, Lenore Romney, who favored abortion rights when she ran for the U.S. Senate in 1970, even before the 1973 Roe v. Wade case affirmed women’s constitutional right to abortions. . . . Lynn Grefe, director of the Republican Pro-Choice Coalition, applauded Romney’s ‘commitment to family planning and protecting a woman’s right to choose’ in a letter on Wednesday.”

“Gubernatorial candidates Shannon O’Brien and Mitt Romney sparred yesterday over who was the strongest abortion rights supporter by touting endorsements from abortion rights groups and challenging each other’s records on the issue . . . O’Brien and Romney both say that if elected they’ll uphold state and federal laws protecting abortion rights. ‘There isn’t a dime of difference between Mitt Romney’s position on choice and Shannon O’Brien,’ said Kerry Healey, Romney’s running mate.”
