Mitt Romney is known for flip-flopping on issues, particularly about abortion. He publicly supported a woman's right to choose as Governor of Massachusetts, but now plays to the religious right. That previous stance though was indeed public, the things that went on in private were absolutely disgusting. One example was Judy Dushku's anonymous friend's pregnancy and Mitt's choice words for the woman.
From Right's Field:
In the interview, Romney scolds a woman who faces death from a pregnancy for considering undergoing an abortion, despite the fact that her doctor also recommends an abortion. He then professes his pro-choice views, which he attributes to an aunt who died from a botched back alley abortion, and political necessity in Massachusetts that’s been rubber stamped from “the brethren” in Salt Lake City.

He said - What do you think you’re doing?
She said - Well, we have to abort the baby because I have these blood clots.
And he said something to the effect of - Well, why do you get off easy when other women have their babies?
And she said - What are you talking about? This is a life threatening situation.
And he said - Well what about the life of the baby?
And she said - I have four other children and I think it would be really irresponsible to continue the pregnancy.
The irresponsibilty and heartlessness of Romney is astounding. This man who wants to be President needs to be stopped.
