. 1.) When Mitt Romney (R, Massachusetts) first ran for governor of Massachusetts, he stated he was pro-choice. Yup. Quoting his own mother (deceased) on the subject. BTW, Romney is a Mormon as is his family of origin and his wife and kids.
2.) Then when Romney got elected as governor of Massachusetts from whence he sniffed the presidential waters . . . he flipped to become anti-abortion. Yup. Telling all the red states how terrific he was about "God's" stuff. Also telling the red states how horrible it is in liberal Massachusetts. Romney became anti-stem cell research, despite his own wife's illness, as well as anti-gay marriage. Very outspoken but only when in a red state. Whaddaguy!
3.) Then our state legislature passed a bill that granted authority to dispense the so-called "morning-after pill" in all Massachusetts hospitals, specifically its legislative intent was not to grant exception rights to religious hospitals or other Massachusetts private hospitals to refuse to dispense this contraceptive device.
4.) Then the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (executive branch) opined that an earlier Massachusetts law granted Roman Catholic and other private hospitals the right not to dispense the "morning-after pill." And, Romney agreed that the morning-after pill should not be dispensed at Roman Catholic Hospitals and other private hospitals who object.
5.) Romney once again does a 180 degree flip . . . now Romney says that he thinks the morning-after pill should be dispensed by all Massachusetts hospitals, private and public, religious or not, in agreement w/ Attorney General Thomas Reilly who, more than likely, would have run into state court to file a complaint for an injunctive stop order to stop Romney's stupidity. Ooooops, Mittens made another mistake of law.
