" there should be record of Romney taking action to try and remove abortion coverage from his plan."

From Wikipedia:
"Romney vetoed an emergency contraception bill in July 2005, claiming that allowing it to pass into law would violate his "moratorium" on changes to the abortion laws.[117] He vetoed a bill on pro-life grounds that the bill would expand access to emergency contraception in hospitals and pharmacies. He returned from his vacation house in New Hampshire to veto the bill, because the Lt. Govorner, Kerry Healey would have signed the bill into law.[118] The legislature voted overwhelmingly to overturn the veto and pass the bill into law on September 15, 2005.[119] At the time of the veto, Romney said he does not support abortion except in cases of rape, incest, and when the life of the mother is threatened.[120] He opposed the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade, criticizing "'one size fits all' judicial pronouncements".[120] The following year, Romney's spokesperson has also indicated that were he the governor of that state, he would sign into law the controversial South Dakota abortion law, but include exceptions for cases of incest or rape, which the South Dakota law excludes.[121]"

I just now read your post. Romney’s list of actions for abortion are there but the above is for life if it’s
true. His “exceptions” are wrong, a baby is a baby no matter how it is conceived and the child’s life overrides the life of the mother, mothers would agree...so does God.
