I can only quote what he said..

GOVERNOR ROMNEY: "I am pro-life. I believe that abortion is the wrong choice except in cases of incest, rape, and to save the life of the mother. I wish the people of America agreed, and that the laws of our nation could reflect that view. But while the nation remains so divided over abortion, I believe that the states, through the democratic process, should determine their own abortion laws and not have them dictated by judicial mandate." (Governor Mitt Romney, Boston Globe, Op-Ed, 7/26/05)

So what about Judges?

GOVERNOR ROMNEY: "If a judge substitutes his or her values for those values that were placed in the constitution, they do so at great peril to the culture of our entire land." (Scott Helman, "Romney Rips SJC's Justices On Values," The Boston Globe, 11/11/05)

Now you can say he didn't fight hard enough, and he could have, should have, would have done x, y, z but what are our options here. The Democrats gleefully support abortion on demand. At least Romney has the right ideas about effecting real change, and will advance the right to life movement.

His position, as stated now, are in my opinion reasonable and right minded. I do not think his past is perfect, but I am not willing to throw my vote away over this issue.

If he is pro-life why does he not support a human life amendment to the Constitution, that is clearly stated the inRepublican platform as follows:

We must keep our pledge to the first guarantee of the Declaration of Independence. That is why we say the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed. We support a human life amendment to the Constitution and we endorse legislation to make it clear that the 14th Amendment's protections apply to unborn children. Our purpose is to have legislative and judicial protection of that right against those who perform abortions. We oppose using public revenues for abortion and will not fund organizations which advocate it. We support the appointment of judges who respect traditional family values and the sanctity of innocent human life.
