It took some time for this to sink in with me because I did not watch the video until now. Mitt Romney has flip-flopped back to a pro-abortion position. (Via CBS News)
“My position has been clear throughout this campaign,” Romney said. “I’m in favor of abortion being legal in the case of rape and incest, and the health and life of the mother.”
Everyone in the pro-life movement knows that “health” means anything, including “mental stress.” It is the position of the Roe v. Wade ruling. He’s adopted the Roe v. Wade ruling, and he even specifically says that.
“Recognize this is the decision that will be made by the Supreme Court,” he said. “The Democrats try and make this a political issue every four years, but this is a matter in the courts. It’s been settled for some time in the courts.”
No one can now claim that Mitt Romney is pro-life. His position is the same position as the Roe court.
I could kick myself for not finding this until now. The interview aired on Monday night.
Hat-tip, Memeorandum.
