Romney's position has always been the same. Romney has always supported states rights when it comes to abortion. 2. Romney is pro-choice, but he declared a truce on the issue in Massachusetts. He said he would not change the laws. 3. Now that he is running for president of the United States, he is asserting the same thing: each state should have the right to choose their abortion laws. So he has kind of changed his position from advocating that Massachusetts be able to remain pro-choice, to Massachusetts should remain pro-choice and other states should also get to choose their abortion policy, as he seeks to represent those from more states than Massachusetts. 4. First - when he ran - what Romney said was he would not CHANGE the current abortion laws in Massachusetts. And he did not. Nobody EVER thought he was personally pro-choice, but there WAS concern that he would enforce his personal agenda on the state. He kept his word (I know, I know, sit down, it DOES make you dizzy when a politician keeps his word). In fact, he referenced this promise when he vetoed the Emergency Contraception bill, which he regarded as a change. 1. Romney’s position has always been the same.
