Romney on Abortion
A good stance, I'd say, well put:
Of course it’s our aspiration that at some point we'll see a nation that doesn’t have abortion. But until that time, I certainly believe that allowing states and citizens and their representatives to fashion their own laws to protect the sanctity of life is very, very important.
I recognize that for many people, that is considered an act of murder, to have an abortion. It is without question the taking of a human life, and I believe that a civilized society must respect the sanctity of a human life. But we have two lives involved here: A mom and unborn child. We have to have concern for both lives. And so the expression of our compassion and our consideration — and work to change hearts and minds — and that's the way, in my view, we’ll ultimately have a society without abortion.
If the pro-life movement were less prohibitionist and more aspirational it would win more converts.
