Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney said this week that as president he would allow individual states to keep abortion legal, two weeks after telling a national television audience that he supports a constitutional amendment to ban the procedure nationwide.
In an interview with a Nevada television station on Tuesday, Romney said Roe. v. Wade should be abolished and vowed to "let states make their own decision in this regard." On Aug. 6, he told ABC's George Stephanopoulos that he supports a human life amendment to the Constitution that would protect the unborn. washingtonpost.com - nation, world, technology and Washington area news and headlines

This guy is going to be more of the same crap that we have dealt with for almost 8 years now. More of the same archaic views born of fantasy and lies.

Morality is not contingent on religion to exist. Therefore religion only detracts from the purity of morality. |

Level up: 53%, 72 Points needed | | God forbid we actually elect someone that would follow the 10th Amendment of the Constitution. Of course he is archaic along with that must old document written over 200 years ago, damn, we must get rid of it so we can all become progressive like you.

Points: 14,720, Level: 78 | Level up: 79%, 130 Points needed | | I don't think him saying Roe Vs. Wade should be abolished has much to do with Our Constitution, when in the next breath he says, Quote: |

| which basicly would stop the states from making their own decisions.
The Govenment hasn't, and won't follow the 10th, ever. Just one case in point, Medical Marijuana Laws enacted by any state, are ignored by the US.
