From 2002, Romney Defends His Abortion Stance
While researching a National Journal article on ex-MA Gov. Mitt Romney's evolution on abortion and gay rights, we came across transcripts of his 2002 gubernatorial debate with Dem Shannon O'Brien.

An anonymous YouTuber obtained the actual video. As you listen to the exchange below, be reminded that you're listening to Romney talk about abortion only five years ago.

His only difference with O'Brien -- Romney did not support a chance in the age of consent law to 16, preferring to keep it at 18. Of the state's judicial bypass, Romney said, "So far, in Massachusetts history, when a young woman has gone to a judge, not one single time has there been a denial of that permission."

On the laws generally: "I will preserve them, I will protect them, I will enforce them."

1. Why are these people STILL obsessed with abortion,

birth control, gay marriage (SEX in general), etc., when in today's world we have so far more pressing issues??

Didn't they LEARN anything from the last election? Yes, as a woman and mother of two daughters, these issues are important to me, but if the USA is going to start a nuclear WWW3, that is FAR more important an issue.

2. He's a flipping and a flopping.

"He's not pro-choice, or anti-choice, he's multiple choice"

:rofl:

3. As a Mass resident, I've always believed he was hard core anti-choice

He just moderated his tone to win in a pro-choice state. Oddly, I think he is now actually telling the truth about his position but he's paying the price for lying previously.
