At about the 22 minute mark of the video, a lady is interviewed who had a child out of wedlock and Mitt Romney wanted her to give up her child to the church. She refused and felt as if she had been excommunicated from the church. Mitt was a high official in the church at the time.

She says she is happy she kept her baby and they showed a picture of him and said he was 27 years old and living in Salt Lake City.

He looked just like Mitt Romney!!!! No kidding.
