After Mitt Romney appeared to muddle his position on abortion earlier this week through comments to The Des Moines Register, he is promising to be a "pro-life president," and to stop funding for Planned Parenthood, that relatively newfound scourge of the right.
Romney told the Register on Tuesday that he was not eyeing any legislation on abortion. His campaign was forced to immediately clarify that in fact a Romney president would support legislation aimed at "greater protections of life," conservative code for embryos.
By Wednesday Romney was back to issuing his more usual stance on abortion.
"I think I've said time and again that I'm a pro-life candidate and I'll be a pro-life president," he told reporters while on the campaign trail in Ohio. "The actions I'll take immediately is to remove funding for Planned Parenthood. It will not be part of my budget. And also I've indicated that I will reverse the Mexico City position of the president. I will reinstate the Mexico City policy which keeps us from using foreign aid for abortions overseas."

Mitt Romney is a sock puppet. If elected, what is he going to do when his campaign handlers aren't around to tell him what he ACTUALLY thinks/believes/is going to do.
How much daylight is between these medieval control freaks and the Taliban who shot that 14 yr old Pakistani for wanting to learn how to read and write? Taliban/Prolifer count their women with their chickens, goats and other possessions. What is it that they find so scary about a woman making decisions?
This man does not know what he stands for. He is a puppet and whoever is pulling his strings can't seem to get him to remember what they want and he sure has no clue as to what he says from one day to the next,
He may not remember what he said but he stands by it no matter what it was!!!
Can someone explain the Mexico City reference please? I don't know what that's referring to.
It would seem to me that there are more than enough pro-abortion people to support Planned Parenthood without the government having to help out. Seems silly to borrow money from China to pay for a clinic that can do manual breast exams, abortion, birth control and STD tests. Something like this would be a good project for Bill Gates, George Soro's and Hollywood. Just a thought.
