Mitt Romney says he has no plans to push any new anti-abortion laws if elected, a position that might put him at odds with parts of his hard-core anti-abortion following and his own running mate, Paul Ryan.
Romney said on Tuesday "There's no legislation with regards to abortion that I'm familiar with that would become part of my agenda." Mitt, supported abortion rights during his time as governor of Massachusetts, has changed his position and earned the backing of groups like the Susan B. Anthony List, which calls his commitment to the anti-abortion cause "concrete." Unlike his running mate Ryan, Romney would make exceptions for pregnancies caused by rape and incest. In August Ryan said of Romney's position "Mitt Romney is going to be president and the president sets policy. If his policy has exceptions for rape, incest and life of the mother. I'm comfortable with it because it's a good step in the right direction."
