Mitt Romney flips and flops on abortion in two hours
Mitt has declared that he will not push for any legislation to limit abortion . . . and his campaign then announced that of course he would.
Mitt Romney said Tuesday he has no plans to push for legislation limiting abortion, a softer stance from a candidate who has said he would "get rid of" funding for Planned Parenthood and appoint Supreme Court justices who would overturn Roe v. Wade.
“There’s no legislation with regards to abortion that I’m familiar with that would become part of my agenda,” the Republican presidential nominee told The Des Moines Register in an interview.
The Romney campaign walked back the remark within two hours of the Register posting its story. Spokeswoman Andrea Saul told National Review Online’s Katrina Trinko that Romney "would of course support legislation aimed at providing greater protections for life."
The appeal of this man is beyond me. He has all the backbone of a jellyfish; this isn’t the first time he’s voiced a position only to “walk it back” within a matter of hours . . . it’s just the latest.
