Not according to the father of the pro-life movement:
"Unlike other candidates who only speak to the importance of confronting the major social issues of the day, Governor Romney has a record of action in defending life. Every decision he made as governor was on the side of life. I know he will be the strong pro-life president we need in the White House, Governor Romney is the only candidate who can lead our pro-life and pro-family conservative movement to victory in 2008." - Dr. John WillkeDr. Willke was a founder of the National Right To Life Committee and served for 10 years as its founding president. Dr. Willke serves as president of the Life Issues Institute, Inc., and founding president of the International Right to Life Federation.
I challenge you to find an endorsement for any presidential candidate in this cycle that came from someone with stronger pro-life credentials.
I go by what MR said, “I am more pro choice than...” Remember his senate race?
Gov. Romney had his shot at the White House, and he lost fair and square, Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom said. That opportunity is unlikely to come along again. Gov. Romney is pouring all his energy into electing McCain-Palin and other Republicans, and that has been his single focus since leaving the presidential race.

Before this graph, you cite a Willke quote where he spouted MR's oft-cited Every decision...made as governor was on the side of life.
How do you make sense of the following statement Romney made 2 days after his supposed personal anti-abortion, pro-parental consent favor of a ban on partial-birth abortion?: "I am absolutely committed to my promise to maintain the status quo with regards to laws relating to abortion and choice." (May 27, 2005 press conference).
I mean, "Wow! Spiff, just wow!" Those late-term babies in the womb on May 27, 2005 were glad to hear that stellar "pro-life" conviction from such a stellar "anti-abortion" officeholder!!!
As for the pro-life doc from Cincinnati, this was just a line Willke was fed from the Romney camp. How do we know this "every decision" comment is just tripe? Well, I just quoted you above a statement Romney made in 2005, after he was supposedly more fully converted to a pro-life stance. Romney made a decision at that press conference to express his commitment to pro-abortion laws. And, he followed thru on that pro-abortion decision in April of 2006 when RomneyCare subsidized $50 taxpayer-funded abortions for women above the Medicaid eligibility line; and when Romney completed his 13-year hand-holding tour with Planned Parenthood by not vetoing the section where a PP rep permanently became part of the RomneyCare oversight board. (It's not just that Romney was beholden to a court order to provide abortions for low-income uninsured women; Romney himself said that 1/4th of the women of his state--almost 2% of the population--were uninsured AND were earning $75,000 or more).
