On July 25, 2005, Romney rejected a law that required medical centers to provide rape victims "morning after" emergency-contraception pills. The legislature overrode his veto. That December, the Public Health Department ruled that private hospitals with moral or religious objections could overlook the law. Romney then overturned that decision, as a top legal adviser recommended. "I have instructed the Department of Public Health to follow the conclusion of my own legal counsel and to adopt that sounder view," Romney said Dec. 8, 2005.

Here, Deroy provides the truth of the matter -- that Romney DID support the hospital's desire. But once the legislature overturned him, there was no rational legal basis for the Public Health Department decision, and Romney took sound legal advice to implement the law as written, bad as it was. No court has found his legal council to be wrong about that decision.

Romney got a pass? BAWAHAHAHA

He’s either a convert or a liar. The YouTube vids are all over FR and the net. We all know he supported abortion. Thats not the question, the question is what does he believe now.

If the founder of the National Right To Life (Willkes) and the writer of the GOP pro-life plank (Bopp) say he’s a convert than I welcome him to the right side and suport him as the only way to stop mcCain after my guys quit(Hunter and Fred).
