Mitt Romney Defends Abortion Stance After Internet Video Appears
by jasontrommThe debut of a video on the Internet this week is causing more headaches for potential Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. The former Massachusetts governor and recent pro-life convert was forced to defend his newfound beliefs after a 1994 video surfaced showing him defending legalized abortion.
Responding to the video, Romney appeared on a radio talk show and said, "I was wrong on some issues back then."
"If you want to know where I stand by the way, you don't just have to listen to my words, you can go to look at my record as governor," Romney said during an appearance on the "Glenn and Helen Show," a radio program.
