Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney made his pro-life views clear today in response to a question from a reporter on the campaign trail in Ohio.
Romney said he would govern as a pro-life president, de-fund the nation’s largest abortion company, and reinstate a policy preventing taxpayer funding of international abortion promotion efforts on the part of Planned Parenthood.
“I think I’ve said time and again that I’m a pro-life candidate and I’ll be a pro-life president. 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,” he said, according to Politico.
Earlier in the day, a spokeswoman for Governor Mitt Romney said the presidential candidate will be a pro-life president, a stark contrast the pro-abortion record President Barack Obama has built up during his time in the White House.
Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul has emailed out a statement about Romney to multiple media outlets after the liberal Des Moines Register newspaper ran a quote from Romney attempting to paint him as less than pro-life.
“Gov. Romney would of course support legislation aimed at providing greater protections for life,” Saul told National Review.

Wow.
I am sure that we will see a collective hissy fit from the baby killers at Planned Parenthood and all those “Loving Liberals” who just can’t find any reason at all to spare the unborn.
I should invest in Fruit of the Loom because a lot of knickers are going to be in a tight knot after this statement!
If Romney is prolife then why did he institute a fifty dollar copay for abortions through “Romneycare” in Massachusetts? Why will he not sign his name to a statement supporting the personhood of the unborn? If Romney is prolife, then why does he support a policy supporting abortions resulting from pregnancy due to rape or incest? Like so many RINOs before him he gives just enough lip service to appease the conservative right but then does nothing to truly protect innocent life when elected.
