Yup.

Whenever Mitt Romney has run for office, his public positions on the issues of the day have been in general agreement with the voter base whose approval he was seeking. In Massachusetts he was pro-choice, then pro-life, then pro-choice, then pro-life again. He was even more pro-gay rights than Ted Kennedy, for strict gun-control laws, for affirmative action, against the Boy Scouts’ policy on homosexual scoutmasters, for what he now calls “amnesty” for illegal immigrants, and against the Bush tax cuts. How can he have changed his mind on all of those issues and others so soon after deciding to run for the Republican presidential nomination? Link

The statements are incorrect, but moreso, the statement is contradictory.

He ran for office in 1994, and again in 2002. He faced voters twice, both times the voters were largely pro-choice.

So if it were true, and it's not, that he went from choice to life to choice to life, he certainly didn't go to life the first time to match some "voter base".
