Romney's Wife Gave Money to Planned Parenthood

Romney has conceded that he changed positions on abortion in late 2004, after running twice in Massachusetts -- unsuccessfully for Senate in 1994, and successfully for governor in 2002 -- on a pledge to preserve a woman's right to choose.

"When I ran for office, I said I'd protect the law as it was, which is effectively a 'pro-choice' position," Romney said last week at a Republican presidential debate. "About two years ago, when we were studying cloning in our state, I said, 'Look, we have gone too far.' It's a brave new world mentality that Roe v. Wade has given us, and I changed my mind."

Romney has been dogged by questions about his previous position on abortion in recent months, with several clips of him talking about the issue in 1994 and 2002 getting wide circulation on the Internet.

"I will preserve and protect a woman's right to choose and am devoted and dedicated to honoring my word in that regard," Romney said in one of those debates, in October 2002.

In that same campaign, Romney completed a Planned Parenthood questionnaire in which he expressed support for Roe v. Wade, public funding of abortions, and access to "emergency contraception," such as the "morning-after pill."
