HOW DOES MITTEN$ GET AWAY WITH THIS?

We all know the Fundies want to prohibit abortion and in lieu of that, reduce the number of abortions to the barest minimum. Romney used to agree with them:
During the GOP primary earlier this year, Romney said repeatedly that Roe vs. Wade should be overturned and that all funding for Planned Parenthood should be cut. He has also said he would prefer to appoint Supreme Court justices who would overturn Roe vs. Wade.
UNTIL TODAY in Des Moines, Iowa:
Romney says abortion legislation isn’t part of his agenda

Mitt Romney today said no abortion legislation is part of his agenda, but he would prohibit federally-funded international nonprofits from providing abortions in other countries.

“There’s no legislation with regards to abortion that I’m familiar with that would become part of my agenda,” the GOP presidential candidate told The Des Moines Register’s editorial board during a meeting today before his campaign rally at a Van Meter farm.

But by executive order, not by legislation, he would reinstate the so-called Mexico City policy that bans U.S. foreign aid dollars from being used to do abortions, he said.
