There he goes again!
"Mitt Romney said Tuesday he has no plans to push for legislation limiting abortion, a softer stance from a candidate who has said he would "get rid of" funding for Planned Parenthood and appoint Supreme Court who would overturn Roe v. Wade.
"There's no legislation with regards to abortion that I'm familiar with that would become part of my agenda," the Republican presidential nominee told The Des Moines Register in an interview.

Theres no legislation with regards to abortion that Im familiar with that would become part of my agenda, the Republican presidential nominee told The Des Moines Register in an interview.

Ok, Mitt then how does this new position square with your party's platform (oh wait, Mitt doesn't go by the GOP platform) and that wonderful group of people who you consider your base?
