Romney: Still Pro-Choice in 2002 [John Podhoretz]
Mitt Romney in 2002: "I respect and will protect a woman's right to choose. This choice is a deeply personal one. Women should be free to choose based on their own beliefs, not mine and not the government's. The truth is no candidate in the governor's race in either party would deny women abortion rights. So let's end an argument that does not exist and stop these cynical and divisive attacks that are made only for political gain."
In that same year, as candidate for election in Massachusetts, he said he agreed with Roe v. Wade, with Medicaid funding of abortion, and with the release of the morning-after pill.
This is all from an article in the new Weekly Standard that is, alas, firewalled. UPDATE: A lot of the same stuff can be found here. I missed it the first time.
